D-Actor technology

The trigger point therapy of Travell and Simons is the starting point for the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain syndromes. As trigger points are difficult to localize and trigger point therapy has only limited efficiency, this therapeutic option is rarely used in practice.

The application of the D-ACTOR® technology to trigger points represents a new therapy approach. The combined use of radial shockwaves and vibrations allows effective local trigger point treatment as well as activation of muscle and surrounding connective tissue.

Indications :

• Muscle spasms
• Cervicalgia
• Tension headache
• Lombalgia
• Pubalgia
• Dupuytren's contracture
• Iliotibial band syndrome
• Shin splints
• Plantar fasciitis
• ...

Results :

• "counter-irritation" due to the mechanical effect
• Improvement of blood circulation (hyperaemia) and a better muscle irrigation due to the decreased ischemia
• Weakening of permanent contracture of actin/myosin filaments(muslce relaxation)
