What is MyACT?
Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) uses focused acoustic waves to compress and manipulate tissue at varying depths, providing a deep‑tissue massage. The mechanical stimulus increases circulation, reduces pain, and supports the body’s natural healing process.
Key Advantages
- Locates and alleviates musculoskeletal pain
- Non‑invasive
- Reduces reliance on pain medication
- Outpatient treatment
- Short therapy time (7‑12 minutes)
- Only 3‑5 treatments needed in most cases
Piezowave 2 Therapy
Developed by Richard Wolf (the leader in lithotripsy), the Piezowave 2 device delivers thousands of high‑energy sound‑wave impulses to the affected tissue. The impulses create micro‑trauma that triggers a healthy inflammatory response, stimulating metabolism, collagen production, and tissue repair.
The system pinpoints the exact injury site and delivers focused pulses only where they are needed—no pain or discomfort in healthy tissue.
Who Can Benefit?
Piezowave 2 offers a powerful alternative to injections and surgery for a wide range of conditions, including chronic tendon, ligament, muscle, and joint injuries, as well as post‑surgical rehabilitation.
Treatment Protocol
Session length: 5–10 minutes (≈ 2 000–3 000 pulse waves).
Typical course: 6 sessions on average, spaced 5–10 days apart.
Expected outcomes:
- Facilitated healing and reduced pain
- Increased micro‑circulation and collagen synthesis
- “Washing away” of Substance‑P (pain‑producing chemical)
- Improved range of motion and function
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does it work?
- Pressure sound waves stimulate fibroblasts, growth factors, and local blood flow. The therapy penetrates 0.5 mm – 3 cm deep—far deeper than conventional ultrasound.
- Is the treatment painful?
- The procedure itself is painless because it uses acoustic pressure, not electric shocks. Some patients feel mild soreness for a few hours after treatment.
- Can I take anti‑inflammatory medication?
- Anti‑inflammatories (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.) are generally discouraged because the therapy relies on a controlled inflammatory response. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is usually tolerated.
- What activities are allowed after treatment?
- Avoid strenuous activity involving the treated area for at least 48 hours.
- Is it safe for people with medical conditions?
- Generally safe, except for pregnancy, infections, blood‑clotting disorders, tumor tissue, or patients on strong anticoagulants. Consult your physician.
- What are the contraindications?
-
- Pregnancy
- Epiphyseal plate involvement
- Heart or circulatory problems
- Blood‑thinning medication or clotting disorders
- Active infection, tumor tissue, lung tissue in the focal area
- Treatment over the head/brain
Safety & Comparison to Ultrasound
Unlike ultrasound, Piezowave 2 does not generate heat; it creates mechanical pressure that initiates a therapeutic inflammatory response. This makes it suitable for post‑surgical patients and deeper trigger‑point therapy.
Safety: 100 % non‑invasive, no anesthesia, no downtime.
