The Pressure Wave® from Stors Medical is a device that converts kinetic energy into acoustic energy that can penetrate up to 6 cm into the body. The benefits of the Pressure Wave® therapy are numerous, including pain reduction, increased circulation, increased fibroblast and healing cells attraction to the treatment site and even new collagen production.
