OPAF THERAPY

OPAF Therapy makes use of sound vibrations at very high frequencies that are not perceptible to the human ear. This treatment generates pressure waves at high frequency and high power for an in depth focused action: the irradiation produces a mechanical pulsating effect (focused action) and a thermal effect (heat) which, together, facilitate and enhance cellular and intracellular exchanges.
OPAF Therapy acts on both superficial and deep subcutaneous tissues with a focused action producing anti-inflammatory and anti-pain effects. The treatment is mainly used to solve bone, muscle, joint and tendon problems, it accelerates the healing process in traumatic events and it relieves chronic problems.

With OPAF Therapy it is possible to deal effectively and in a short time with the following conditions:

BONE TISSUE

  • Delays of consolidation/non-union

  • Aseptic humeral head/femoral necrosis

  • Stress fractures

  • CRPS Complex regional pain syndrome

  • Intra-articular edema

  • Edema

DISORDERS OF THE SOFT TISSUES

  • Chondrocalcinosis of the elbow, hip, knee

  • Joint stiffness of shoulder / elbow / hip / knee

  • Calcifications and ossifications

  • Ossifying myositis

  • Fibromatosis of muscles, ligaments, fascia

  • Muscle contracture

  • Hematomas

SOFT TISSUE TENDINITIS

  • Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder

  • Lateral epicondylitis of the elbow

  • Trochanteric tendinitis

  • Pes anserinus (goosefoot) tendinitis

  • Post-traumatic knee tendonitis

  • Patellar tendinopathy

  • Tendinitis of the Achilles tendon

  • Plantar fasciitis with heel spurs
