Acoustic sound wave and regenerative medical therapy helps overcome oxygen deprivation

January 3, 2026

 

Many athletes do extensive exercise and can result in tissue damage, muscle damage as well as orthopedic injuries. Oxygen is necessary for these tissues to help. If there is a lack of oxygen then muscles, bones, and nerves have a difficult time healing. With the use of our regenerative medical therapy and acoustic sound wave device we are able to increase oxygenation, vascularization and bone healing to the affected area. This helps our athletes to be more competitive in the sports they choose.
