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
