Acoustic wave therapy for pain you can point to

German-engineered sound wave devices that reach 6 cm deep — gentle enough for a neck, jaw or hand that is too sore for a massage gun.

What are you dealing with?

Choose what sounds like you. We will show you how NOVAFON is used for it, and which device suits.

Neck

Neck pain and stiffness

Tightness at the base of the skull. Shoulders that never quite let go. A neck that is too sore to press hard on — which is exactly where a percussive massage gun becomes unusable.

How NOVAFON is used here

NOVAFON vibrates rather than hammers. The waves travel vertically into the tissue, up to 6 cm deep, without pounding the surface — so the neck can be treated at all.

At 100 Hz the vibration interacts with nerve fibres, and the manufacturer describes the sensory stimulus overriding pain signals on their way to the brain. At 50 Hz the deeper setting works on the hardening underneath.

  • Setting for pain100 Hz
  • Setting for tension50 Hz
  • Head to useFlat plate
  • Typical session5–10 minutes
I often suffered from neck pain and so-called tennis elbow in both arms, and thanks to regular use of the NOVAFON, my elbows are back to normal and my neck pain has gone. User B. — Google product review, NOVAFON pro, July 2021
Back

Back pain

A lower back that seizes after sitting. Knots between the shoulder blades you cannot reach on your own. Back pain is named directly in NOVAFON’s own list of applications.

How NOVAFON is used here

Large muscle groups respond to the deeper 50 Hz setting, which the manufacturer associates with releasing hardening and loosening muscle. Where the pain is sharper rather than tight, 100 Hz is the pain-relief setting.

The extension handle is what makes this practical alone — it reaches the middle of your own back without a second person.

  • Setting for tension50 Hz
  • Setting for pain100 Hz
  • Head to useFlat plate or roller
  • Worth addingExtension handle, $35
Jaw

Jaw tension, clenching and TMJ

Waking with a tight jaw. Grinding at night. Headaches that start at the temples. The jaw is the clearest case where a percussive device simply cannot be used — and NOVAFON lists tension and pain in the jaw (CMD) among its applications.

How NOVAFON is used here

The device is gentle enough for sensitive areas — the manufacturer names jaws, fingers and elbows specifically. A small ball head lets you work along the masseter without pressure.

NOVAFON also cites use in speech and swallowing therapy, which is the same principle applied to fine muscles of the face and mouth.

  • Setting100 Hz, low intensity
  • Head to useSmall ball
  • Typical session2–5 minutes per side
  • Bundle availableJaw Tension bundle
I have used it to treat my very tense jaw muscles (I have issues with grinding my teeth). It is very comfortable and relaxing. I use it regularly. User S. — Google product review, NOVAFON power, February 2017
Trigger points

Knots and trigger points

One spot that will not release, however hard you press. Myofascial pain and trigger points appear in NOVAFON’s application list alongside joint pain and tennis elbow.

How NOVAFON is used here

A tapered or ball head concentrates the wave into a single contact point and carries it downward, rather than spreading force across the surface. That is the difference from a device that only stimulates the surface.

The magnetic point head adds a 3,200 Gauss field at the same treatment point, for those who want it.

  • Setting100 Hz
  • Head to useBall or magnetic point
  • DepthUp to 6 cm
  • Worth addingMagnetic point head, $57
Recovery

Circulation and muscle recovery

Legs that feel heavy after a walk. Slow to bounce back after activity. Aching the day after.

How NOVAFON is used here

NOVAFON describes vibration stimulating blood flow, supplying muscles with more metabolites such as oxygen, and stimulating the body’s regeneration mechanisms so muscles recover more quickly.

Its own list includes prevention or mitigation of aching muscles, increased elasticity, and improved circulation.

  • Before activity75 Hz — activation
  • After activity50 Hz — recovery
  • Head to useFlat plate or roller
  • Worth addingSensory roller set, $65
The range

Three devices

All made in Germany. All use the same vertical sound wave technology. The difference is how many frequencies you get and how much you can fine-tune.
