Recent findings in shock wave therapy research show successful results in the treatment of some generalized muscle disorders such as myofascial pain syndrome, trigger point-associated pain, and painful tissue disorders (metaplasia). The D-ACTOR Technology was developed especially for the treatment of these large muscle and connective tissue indications.
With the D-ACTOR Technology, pneumatically-generated acoustic pulses or shock waves are zeroed into the defined area through vibration similar to a deep tissue massage, thus relieving the pain in the area.
The D-ACTOR I (Ø20mm) and II (Ø35mm) tips are optional shock transmitters for the radial applicator hand piece on the DUOLITH and MASTERPULS series. These tips are 3-5 times larger than current transmitter tips, thus permitting FASTER treatments with FEWER IMPULSES!
Acute & chronic affected areas that have been successfully treated with the D-ACTOR Technology include:
-
Neck pain (cervical)
-
Upper Back pain (dorsalgia)
-
Lower Back pain (lumbar, sacral, sacroiliac)
-
Fibromyositis (Chronic inflammation of a muscle with an overgrowth of the connective tissue).
-
Localizing and deactivating of trigger points
-
Disorders of large muscle & tendon insertions
-
Tissue activation: Promotion of blood flow through tissue thus boosting metabolism.
In addition, this technology can be used for Equine MyoTherapy and Wellbeing Massage & Stretching (smoothening) Therapy
