H-Wave therapy is a healthcare treatment geared toward alleviating pain and rehabilitating dysfunctional areas of the body. It utilizes an electro-therapeutic device designed and built in the United States. Two different forms of therapy are made possible through the use of the medical tool: ultralow frequency stimulation and high frequency stimulation.

Ultra-low frequency stimulation

The electro-therapeutic treatment provided by H-Wave is founded on proven medical science regarding the adjustments of fluids within the body: circulation is critical to healing. The H-Wave fosters strong circulation, which in turn reduces inflammation. The anti-inflammatory capacity of the therapy is its core strong suit: inflammation is a major cause of pain and the #1 root source of disability for Americans.

Using the H-Wave to remove pain typically involves treatments that last for half an hour. Ultralow frequency stimulation causes muscular contraction and enhances the movement of fluids without inducing pain. An additional strength of the therapy is that it does not simply address the outward indications of a pain condition – the symptoms – but instead facilitates long-term restoration of healthy tissues.

Furthermore, medical studies suggest that H-Wave is in a class of its own as an electro-therapeutic treatment method. It is incredibly effective, consistently safe, and is unlikely to generate fatigue (a common complaint with similar treatments).

High-frequency stimulation

Not every pain scenario is alike, of course. For more extreme pain conditions, addressing the movement of fluids alone is insufficient. In these cases, the pain is targeted directly. Although this device mode represents a more powerful tactic, like the ultra-low approach, it does not just address symptoms. Rather, it’s anesthetic properties generate long-lasting pain amelioration.

Study results show strengths of H-Wave

H-Wave therapy is used on various types of pain conditions. However, a recent H-Wave study specifically focused on patients recovering from reconstructive surgery of the rotator cuff. The Wake Forest University study lasted three months, with 11 patients receiving regular H-Wave care and 11 patients in a placebo group.

The findings of the study present compelling evidence that the therapy isn’t simply a form of pain relief but enhances functionality as well. Upon its completion, range of motion for the H-Wave patients was markedly better than for placebo patients: 46% stronger externally and 43% stronger internally.

H-Wave in action

Using the H-Wave to remove pain is best conducted in a team environment of multidisciplinary pain specialists: the Atlanta Medical Clinic. At our practice, numerous perspectives and modalities work in conjunction to optimize the pain management strategy.
