What Are the Primary Conditions Treated by MyACT Therapy?

Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT), also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment designed to address a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy utilizes acoustic pressure waves to penetrate deep into soft tissues, stimulating healing, reducing pain, and improving mobility. MyACT is commonly used by chiropractors to treat both acute and chronic conditions.

How MyACT Works

MyACT therapy works by delivering focused acoustic pressure waves to areas of pain and dysfunction. These waves enhance blood circulation, break down adhesions and calcifications, and promote tissue regeneration. Unlike invasive procedures or long-term medication use, MyACT offers a natural approach to pain relief and healing.

Tendonitis and Tendinopathies

Tendon injuries, including rotator cuff tendinitis, Achilles tendinitis, and tennis elbow, often result from repetitive motion or overuse. MyACT therapy helps stimulate collagen production and accelerate the healing process, reducing inflammation and pain in the affected tendons.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, particularly among athletes and individuals who spend long hours on their feet. MyACT therapy targets the plantar fascia, reducing pain and stiffness while promoting tissue repair and improved mobility.

Muscle Strains and Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Chronic muscle pain and tightness, often caused by trigger points or muscle adhesions, can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. MyACT therapy effectively releases muscle tension, improves circulation, and enhances flexibility in affected areas.

Calcific Shoulder Tendinitis

This condition occurs when calcium deposits form in the shoulder tendons, leading to pain and restricted movement. MyACT therapy helps break down these deposits and stimulates healing, allowing for improved function and range of motion.

Joint Pain and Osteoarthritis

Patients suffering from osteoarthritis or joint pain can benefit from MyACT therapy as it helps reduce stiffness, inflammation, and discomfort by stimulating cartilage regeneration and increasing blood flow to affected joints.

Sports Injuries and Overuse Syndromes

Athletes frequently experience muscle and tendon injuries due to repetitive strain. MyACT therapy promotes faster recovery, helping athletes return to their training and competition with reduced downtime.

Scar Tissue and Post-Surgical Healing

Following surgery or injury, scar tissue can limit movement and cause discomfort. MyACT therapy aids in breaking down fibrous scar tissue and improving tissue elasticity, contributing to a smoother recovery process.
