Acoustic Compression Therapy

Acoustic wave therapy also known as shock wave therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment for soft tissue injuries. It produces shock waves that stimulate healing and decrease pain, swelling and inflammation. Acoustic wave therapy is recommended for athletes who do not want to take time off from training, to help with recovery from acute sports injuries such as sprains and strains, tendonitis, calf and Achilles tendon injuries, shin splints and growing pains, post surgical rehabilitation and much more.

Acoustic Compression Therapy

It’s Time To Get Out Of Pain

Suffering from Chronic or Acute Pain?

Have You Tried Other Treatments?

With No Results?

Look no further because ACT is here!

Cortisone has temporary results and will destroy joints over time

Drugs are addictive and do not address the cause of pain

Drugs only treat symptoms

Try Shock Wave Therapy!

Our device is currently being used by the:

and many other sports and college teams.

Focusing in on your pain

The acoustic waves generated by our device pass through the body and converge at a point deep within the soft tissue to produce an intense, extremely short duration compression event. The focused acoustic compression is translated to tissue with pin – point accuracy to the affected area.

Patient guided pain relief

The sources of pain are not always found in the area where the pain seems to be radiating from. This is clinically called referred pain. The distancing of the pain sensation from its source can make treatment more difficult.

Diagnosis of referred pain and the recognition of the originating pain triggering points can be accomplished using Acoustic Compression Therapy. Abnormal musculoskeletal tissue can be “flared” with focused ACT in order to define the areas that require treatment. This process of defining the origins of pain is guided by the patient through verbal feedback to the healthcare professional providing the shock wave therapy treatment.

How long does treatment take?

  • A typical ACT treatment takes less than 10 minutes
  • How many treatments you will need depends on the severity of your condition
  • A total of 3-5 treatments may be necessary before lasting improvement is achieved
  • With acute pain, a single session is often successful

What conditions can be treated with the ACT Machine?

This therapy is effective at treating multiple conditions resulting chronic pain. Some of the conditions that have been effectively treated with acoustic shock wave therapy include:

Are there known side-effects of Acoustic Compression Therapy?

Treatment side-effects are limited to reddened skin and/or minor soreness at the treatment site.

What to expect during your Acoustic Compression Therapy treatment

  1. Your clinician will identify the treatment site or sites.
  2. They will then apply a thin coat of coupling gel. This gel helps to translate the acoustic sound waves generated by the therapy head to the body.
  3. The clinician will start the treatment at a very low output setting and increase the power to a level that you help define and is best suited for your condition. The output level and acoustic wave frequency rate may vary from location to location based on the depth and type of tissue being treated.
  4. As the clinician moves the therapy source around the treatment area, you may feel a deep, dull ache that is familiar to you as being like the feeling your condition produces. The clinician will ask you to report when you feel the ache and will adjust the output of the device to the appropriate level for your treatment. They may also ask you to confirm that the therapy source is still creating the ache and may adjust the location of the treatment based on your feedback. If at any time the shock wave treatment becomes uncomfortable, mention this to the clinician and they will adjust the output level of the shock wave therapy device.
  5. After the treatment is completed, the coupling gel will be removed and you can return to your normal activities. You may experience some minor aches or discomfort after treatment. It is not unusual for patients to notice flushed or reddened skin around the treatment site.
