The Healing Power of Sound
Southern California Shockwave Therapy offers non-invasive, drug-free, no downtime alternative treatment for musculoskeletal pain.
Why Shockwave Therapy?
PiezoWave is a form of shockwave therapy that delivers targeted, low-energy acoustic waves to reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote healing in myofascial tissues.
Our evidence-based, non-surgical approach effectively manages conditions like:
Shin Splints
Tennis Elbow
Trigger Points
Plantar Fasciitis
Achilles Tendinitis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT)
MyACT, a form of Low-Energy Focused Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is an effective and clinically proven therapy commonly used to treat acute and chronic muscle, tendon, and bone pain.
How Does it Work?
It works by focused, low-intensity sound waves directly into injured, stiff, and fibrotic tissues, eliciting changes via mechanotransduction. These high-intensity acoustical sound waves act as a deep tissue massage with pinpoint accuracy to the affected tissue under the skin, leading to powerful physiological effects.

FAQS
How long do treatments last?
Typical Shockwave Therapy treatments take 10-15 minutes.
How many treatments do I need?
Usually, 1-2 treatments per week are performed. A total of 4-10 treatments may be necessary before lasting improvement is achieved. The number of treatments and the frequency will depend on how acute or chronic your condition may be.
Are there any known side effects?
Treatment side effects are limited to occasional skin reddening and minor soreness at the treatment site during application. That's it! There are little to no side effects from treatment because it involves compressed sound waves being dispersed into the body region.
What is the difference between ESWT, MyACT, and the PiezoWave2T?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an umbrella term referring to the general, overarching concept of creating focused, high-intensity sound waves outside of the body ("extracorporeal") that are directed to internal body structures to produce different physiological effects. At SoCal Shockwave Therapy, we use the PiezoWave2T, an FDA-registered Class 1 Modality machine that utilizes Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT). MyACT is a form of ESWT that is highly effective, extremely safe, all-natural, and provides quick, lasting results.
I don't have a science background. Can you explain it to me more in plain English?
The PiezoWave2T produces low-intensity sound waves similar to a cone-shaped speaker, focusing at a single point. This directs sound waves directly to the injury site, acting like a deep tissue massage. Unlike manual therapy, it targets the area precisely, enhancing local blood flow, stimulating blood vessel formation, and promoting tissue regeneration.
