Pain-LESS: How The Miracle Wave Technology is Helping Actual Patients in Florida


You've heard our wellness experts at The Miracle Wave ™  rave about our new, sound approach to help heal pain, but here's even more proof that it's a safe and an effective method of treatment for patients with musculoskeletal disorders and/or joint pain.

Dr. Joe Johnson, D.C. from 
Johnson Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine gave us his take on
The Miracle Wave 
™ , and how he utilizes our technology at his practice in Paxton, Florida:

How many patients are you currently seeing at your practice?
 
With The Miracle Wave technology, I utilize it on about 10 patient visits a day, four and a half days a week.

What are the most common injuries your patients have who appear to benefit from The Miracle Wave ™ treatment? 
I see a myriad of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- tendinitis, strains, sprains, bursitis, trigger points, myofascial syndrome, arthralgia; upper and lower   extremities, and trunk
- rotator cuff injuries--even cuff tears
- elbow injuries
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- trochanteric bursitis and TFL syndromes
- plantar fasciitis, etc.

How often are your patients required to come in for treatment?
If a person is in a lot of pain I may want to see the patients every day or every other day for the first 3-4 days, depending on how quickly we need to improve mobility or function. My patients more commonly come in 2-3 times per week, however. It greatly enhances the patient’s ability to return to functional activities quicker, and that is important!

What are some of the main reasons why you prefer 
The Miracle Wave ™ as an effective approach for your patients? I've seen a lot of helpful information regarding this type of therapy in Europe, and how it's helped with the recovery of many types of conditions. I'm personally in favor of this solution for my patients because it:
- decreases pain
- has an analgesic effect
- promotes elastic tissue repair
- improves circulation and helps to facilitate tissue repair

What is one of the most common things you tell your patients prior to treating them with The Miracle Wave ™ technology? That in most cases, my patients can expect to see a dramatic difference in their mobility, as well as a significant decrease in the pain they're experiencing.

If you're a healthcare professional and believe your patients could benefit from The Miracle Wave ™  as a sound approach to help heal their pain, click here to learn about bringing this technology to your practice TODAY.

Give it the Cold Shoulder: How The Miracle Wave Technology Can Help Relieve Shoulder Pain


What most people call their “shoulder is actually a cluster of several joints combined with tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion in the arm—from scratching your back to throwing the perfect pitch. 

Excessive use or strain of this part of the body, however, has its price... as it can lead to increasing problems with instability and impingement of the soft tissue or bony structures of your shoulder, resulting in pain.

Here are 5 of the most common problems which can cause shoulder pain along with a list of typical treatment methods:

1. Bursitis

The shoulder is made up of several bursa (small fluid sacs located near joints throughout our body). Bursae act as cushions between our bones and the soft tissues, but sometimes excessive use of your shoulder(s) can lead to inflammation and swelling of the bursae between the rotator cuff and the part of your shoulder blade known as the acromion. This condition can result in bursitis, associated with rotator cuff tendinitis.

General Treatment Methods

- reduction or changes in your daily and/or physical activities
- downtime or rest
- prescription/non-prescription medications
- surgery, in severe cases 

2. Tendinitis

Tendon cords connect our muscles to the bones throughout the entire body. Frequent strain of these tendons in your shoulders, over time, can be just like wearing out the soles of your favorite shoes-- they can eventually split from overuse. There are two types of tendinitis: 

a) acute tendinitis, which is caused by excessive use
b) chronic tendinitis, which is degenerative in origin (much like arthritis) and can worsen in pain as we age.

General Treatment Methods
- reduction or changes in your daily and/or physical activities
- physical therapy
- anti-inflammatory medications
- surgery, in some cases 

3. Tendon Tears

The splitting and tearing of tendons, especially within your shoulders, can occur from: 
a) degenerative changes in the tendons caused by age
b) long-term overuse
c) continuous wear and tear without appropriate treatment
d) a sudden injury

Tendon tears of the shoulder can be partial in damage but they can also split into two pieces where, in most cases, the tendon is actually pulled away from its attachment to the bone. 

General Treatment Methods

- reduction or changes in your daily and/or physical activities
- downtime or rest
- medications for pain and/or inflammation
- surgery, in some cases 

4. Impingement

This condition of the shoulder typically occurs when the top of the shoulder blade puts too much pressure on the underlying soft tissues, and the arm is lifted away from the body out of its normal range of motion, causing bursitis and tendinitis.

General Treatment Methods

- reduction or changes in your daily and/or physical activities
- downtime or rest
- medications for pain and/or inflammation
- surgery, in some cases 

5. Arthritis

The most common type of arthritis of the shoulder is osteoarthritis, which is also known as "wear and tear arthritis." This condition often develops gradually but can involve increasing pain, significant swelling, stiffness of the arm and may eventually worsen over time if not treated correctly.

General Treatment Methods

- reduction or changes in your daily and/or physical activities
- downtime or rest
- medications for pain and/or inflammation
- surgery, in some cases 

The good news about shoulder pain is this: It doesn't have to be an intolerable part of your life, because The Miracle Wave ™  offers a new, non-invasive acoustic sound wave technique to treat several types of musculoskeletal problems (especially in cases of shoulder injuries).

There are little to no side effects and there's hardly any downtime involved, which means many patients undergoing The Miracle Wave treatment are able feel noticeably less pain and resume their daily activities almost immediately.
