What is Sustained Acoustic Medicine? The SAM unit, made by Zetroz is a recent addition to Anneʼs practice. It is long duration but low intensity ultrasound waves that deliver heat to deeper tissues. Now her patients have the option to continue using this easy to apply unit at home to accelerate their own healing. Use of the SAM results in increased circulation to damaged soft tissues meaning enhanced oxygen delivery to tissues and faster removal of metabolic waste.
The SAM has an anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues by decreasing cytokines (inflammatory chemicals) and increasing protein synthesis. Optimal healing of an injury depends on decreasing the inflammatory response, efficient removal of cellular debris and stimulation of the proteins needed for collagen for repair. Research has shown that SAM improves the quality of tendon repair, making tendons stronger and less likely to reinjure. These units can be rented for a few weeks or purchased for long term use.
