Acoustic Compression Therapy

Acoustic Compression Therapy

Musculoskeletal issues can affect people of any age. Various types of treatment can be used for pain relief. One of these treatments is acoustic compression therapy (also known as ACT). We offer this therapy to our patients at Birmingham Wellness Center so let’s find out what it involves and how it can be used to help treat various medical conditions.

What Is Acoustic Compression?

Are you aware of the treatment modality known as acoustic compression? Acoustic compression is fairly new in the United States, though it’s been in use in Europe for nearly 30 years. It’s worthwhile to learn more and see if it may be the right therapy for your needs. One of our chiropractors in Birmingham can assist you with this therapy if it’s determined to be a suitable technique to help with your specific medical condition.

ACT has been used to treat conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system. It aligns with the same science that is behind lithotripsy which involves the use of acoustic waves to break kidney stones. The waves break up muscle spasms, adhesions, scar tissue, and it also increases the patient’s circulation. This can lead to healing in the patient’s joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Best of all, there should not be any side effects.

Another one of the best aspects of ACT is that it’s non-invasive. This reduces the level of discomfort that the patient experiences during the therapy. Patients will not have to take any medication for this procedure.

Conditions That Benefit the Most from ACT

Several ailments are sure to experience relief from this form of therapy. They include the following:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Tennis elbow 
  • Neck pain 
  • Shoulder and hip bursitis
  • Lower and middle back pain 
  • Plantar fasciitis 
  • Tendonitis
  • TMJ syndrome
  • Strains and sprains 

Prognosis with ACT

Many patients will see some results after only one treatment. Since treatments tend to only take about 10 minutes it’s a simple and seamless procedure. The average patient will only need to have about 5-7 treatments before reaching their health goal.
