Now Offering Piezowave (Shockwave) Therapy at OC Well Studio in Newport Beach
At OC Well Studio, we’re always looking for innovative ways to help our patients recover faster and feel their best. Our newest addition, Piezowave Therapy, offers a powerful, non-invasive way to accelerate healing and relieve pain — now available right here in our Newport Beach office.
Also known as focused shockwave therapy, Piezowave uses advanced acoustic wave technology to target damaged tissue, stimulate circulation, and promote long-term repair. It’s been used by professional athletes, physical therapists, and sports medicine specialists around the world to help people move and perform at their best.
What Is Piezowave (Shockwave) Therapy?
Piezowave therapy delivers focused acoustic sound waves deep into soft tissues, tendons, and ligaments. These sound waves create controlled microtrauma that stimulates your body’s natural healing response—enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue regeneration.
It’s different from traditional radial shockwave therapy, which disperses energy across a wider area and treats more superficial conditions. Piezowave’s focused technology delivers precision energy to the exact depth and location of injury—making it ideal for deeper, chronic pain or scar tissue that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
The Science Behind It
Piezowave’s focused acoustic waves:
Increase local circulation to supply oxygen and nutrients to injured tissue.
Stimulate collagen and fibroblast production to rebuild and strengthen soft tissue.
Break up scar tissue and adhesions that limit mobility.
Calm irritated nerves and decrease pain signaling.
Support lymphatic flow to reduce inflammation and swelling.
Essentially, Piezowave therapy helps “retrain” the body’s repair process — restoring natural movement and function where it has stalled.
Ideal Uses for Piezowave Therapy
Piezowave therapy can be used for both acute and chronic conditions, including:
Shoulder, hip, and low back pain
Rotator cuff and elbow injuries (tennis or golfer’s elbow)
Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis
Muscle tightness and deep trigger points
Post-surgical or injury-related scar tissue
IT band syndrome, shin splints, or runner’s knee
Perfect for the Newport Beach Lifestyle
Active lifestyles are part of what make Newport Beach so special—whether it’s surfing, golf, Pilates, tennis, running, or paddleboarding. But these repetitive, high-performance activities often come with tight muscles, overuse injuries, and inflammation that don’t fully resolve with rest or stretching alone.
Piezowave therapy helps our patients recover faster, move better, and stay active, whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply want to feel better in your body.
How It Works with Other Therapies
At OC Well Studio, we often combine Piezowave with our other healing modalities for enhanced results.
Here’s how it integrates beautifully with our existing treatments:
Chiropractic Care: Piezowave helps relax and soften muscle tension before an adjustment, allowing for greater mobility and less discomfort.
Acupuncture or Dry Needling: Both approaches target pain and healing pathways. Piezowave complements them by stimulating deep tissue circulation and breaking up fibrosis that needles can’t reach.
Massage Therapy: Adding Piezowave to your massage session helps release chronic adhesions and muscle knots more efficiently. It’s especially effective for stubborn areas that don’t respond to manual pressure alone.
Think of it as a therapeutic amplifier—it boosts the effectiveness of other treatments and accelerates recovery time.
What to Expect
A typical Piezowave session lasts 10–20 minutes, depending on the size and depth of the treatment area. During the session, you’ll feel a series of rhythmic taps or pulses. The intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level, and most patients find it tolerable—even relaxing.
Many people notice improved mobility and pain reduction after just one or two sessions, while deeper or chronic issues often respond best to a series of 4–6 treatments, spaced about a week apart.
Aftercare & Recovery
Following treatment, it’s normal to experience mild soreness or tenderness in the treated area for 24–48 hours—similar to what you might feel after a good workout.
To optimize healing:
Stay hydrated and avoid ice unless specifically recommended (we want to keep circulation high).
Gentle stretching or light movement can help tissue recovery.
Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours after your session.
Pair with soft tissue work, acupuncture, or gentle mobility work for best results.
Your provider will guide you on the ideal combination for your body and goals.
Experience the Next Generation of Recovery
If you’re struggling with a lingering injury, muscle tightness, or chronic pain that hasn’t responded to traditional care, Piezowave (focused shockwave) therapy could be the missing piece.
