Myoacoustic Compression Therapy

Soundwave therapy has long had many successful applications in diagnosing and treating painful medical conditions. The same compressed acoustic waves used to capture images of an unborn baby can calm essential tremors originating in the brain and eliminate kidney stones.

Myoacoustic Compression Therapy (ACT) refers to short but intense sound waves used to reduce pain in the musculoskeletal system.

By precisely aiming high-frequency, low-pressure acoustic waves at pain points in muscles, joints, and tendons, ACT can target these structures at varying depths to cause micro-traumas in tissues that both destroy and allow for the detoxification of unhealthy tissue while encouraging the repair and regrowth of healthier tissue.

ACT has proven to promote faster and more complete healing of bone fractures and defects.

Effective for many sports-related injuries and conditions of overuse, ACT is well suited for:

• Tennis and golf elbow

• Achilles tendon injuries

• Plantar fasciitis

• Runner’s knee

• Rotator cuff tears

• Shoulder, hamstring and patellar tendonopathy

• Osteoarthritis

• Ligament injuries

• Triggerfinger

• Post-op Recovery

• Others

For the patient, myoacoustic compression therapy is passive, painless, and non-invasive. Your DTX Sports Chiropractic practitioner uses a handheld wand to generate and direct targeted sound waves to damaged tissues initiating a dramatic healing response within the body.
