SoftWave Therapy is an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to promote healing at the cellular level, enhance blood flow, and activate the body’s natural regenerative processes. Utilizing patented electrohydraulic shockwave technology, SoftWave delivers energy precisely to injured, scarred, or inflamed areas. This stimulates cellular repair, reduces pain, and accelerates recovery. Widely recognized by leading medical institutions and sports organizations, SoftWave Therapy offers a fast, effective, and drug-free solution for various conditions and injuries.
How Does SoftWave Therapy Work?
SoftWave Therapy employs broad focused shockwaves—low-energy acoustic waves—to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. These shockwaves penetrate deeply into tissues, improving blood supply, modulating inflammation, and activating cellular processes critical for healing.
The primary mechanisms include:
Increased Blood Flow: SoftWave stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, ensuring oxygen and nutrients reach damaged tissues for faster recovery.
Reduction of Inflammation: By disrupting pro-inflammatory pathways and promoting anti-inflammatory responses, SoftWave helps manage both acute and chronic inflammation.
Activation of Stem Cells: SoftWave activates resident mesenchymal stem cells, essential for tissue regeneration and repair.
Tissue Remodeling: The shockwaves break down scar tissue and stimulate the production of healthy collagen, improving tissue function and flexibility.
Antibacterial Effects: SoftWave’s energy disrupts biofilms, supporting the healing of wounds and reducing the risk of infection.
Most treatments last just 5-10 minutes, with no need for anesthesia, numbing agents, or downtime for recovery.
Medical Benefits of SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave Therapy provides numerous scientifically-backed benefits, including:
Improved Blood Supply: Enhances circulation to speed up healing.
Modulation of Inflammation: Reduces both acute and chronic inflammatory responses.
Pain Relief: Targets areas of pain to provide immediate and lasting relief.
Activation of Stem Cells: Stimulates repair processes at the cellular level.
Tissue Regeneration: Repairs and remodels damaged tissues.
Accelerated Wound Healing: Promotes faster recovery for acute and chronic wounds.
Antibacterial Effects: Disrupts biofilms and aids in infection prevention.
Conditions Treated with SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave Therapy is FDA-cleared to treat a variety of conditions, making it a versatile tool for medical and wellness applications. Conditions addressed include:
Joint and Muscle Pain: Effective for knee pain, shoulder pain, and lower back pain.
Overuse Injuries: Ideal for conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and jumper’s knee.
Orthopedic Conditions: Helps with carpal tunnel syndrome, meniscus tears, and other soft tissue injuries.
Wound Care: Accelerates healing of ulcers, burns, and chronic wounds.
Neuropathies: Alleviates pain and symptoms associated with nerve damage.
Urological Conditions: Addresses pelvic floor dysfunction and erectile dysfunction (ED).
Emerging research and clinical experience suggest SoftWave Therapy may also benefit conditions like:
Lymphedema and Lipedema: Reduces fibrosis, improves lymphatic flow, and alleviates painful symptoms.
Post-Surgical Healing: Speeds recovery by reducing inflammation and enhancing tissue repair.
Chronic Pain: Targets underlying causes for long-term relief.
The SoftWave Experience: What to Expect
SoftWave Therapy is a safe, comfortable, and quick treatment. Here’s what to expect during your session:
Sensations During Treatment: When treating pain, we search for areas of discomfort or inflammation. Patients may feel varying levels of discomfort during treatment as we identify and target the problem areas. However, as the session progresses, the intensity of pain typically reduces. It’s important to note that pain-free treatment is not expected when addressing pain-related conditions. Conversely, when treating conditions like neuropathy, scars, or erectile dysfunction, pain is generally not experienced during the session.
Treatment Duration: Most sessions last 5-10 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
No Downtime: Unlike invasive procedures, SoftWave requires no recovery period. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Customizable Intensity: Providers can adjust the intensity of the shockwaves to ensure patient comfort.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To ensure the effectiveness of SoftWave Therapy, the following guidelines should be observed:
NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs): Patients are advised to avoid taking NSAIDs for 24-48 hours before treatment, as these medications can reduce the therapy’s effectiveness.
Cortisone Injections: SoftWave Therapy should be administered at least 4 weeks after a cortisone injection to prevent interference with the body’s natural healing processes.
Your provider will discuss these considerations during your consultation to ensure optimal results.
Safety and Side Effects of SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave Therapy is FDA-cleared and trusted by leading medical institutions, including Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, as well as professional sports organizations such as the NFL, NBA, and MLB.
Safety Features:
Non-invasive and drug-free.
Safe for use over metal implants and joint replacements.
Suitable for most post-surgical applications.
Minimal Side Effects:
Temporary redness or soreness in the treated area, typically resolving within 24-48 hours.
Rare cases of mild discomfort during treatment, which subsides quickly.
SoftWave Therapy is contraindicated in the following situations:
Over a pregnant uterus.
Over a pacemaker or other electronic implants.
Over active cancerous lesions.
Clinical Evidence Supporting SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave Therapy is backed by extensive clinical research:
Chronic Pain Management: Studies show that SoftWave reduces pain scores significantly by modulating inflammatory pathways and promoting tissue repair (Journal of Pain Research, 2021).
Tissue Regeneration: Research highlights the therapy’s ability to activate stem cells and enhance collagen production, leading to faster recovery (Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020).
Wound Healing: Clinical trials demonstrate accelerated healing of chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers, with SoftWave Therapy (Wound Repair and Regeneration, 2019).
Improved Mobility: SoftWave has been shown to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness in patients with joint conditions (Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research, 2018).
