SoftWave® Therapy

If you have been dealing with ongoing pain, SoftWave® therapy can help your body by increasing blood circulation and reducing inflammation and pain. Common pain conditions it can be effective for include:

• Arthritis: Arthritis occurs when your joints become inflamed and causes pain, stiffness, and swelling. This can make everyday tasks like climbing stairs or kneeling difficult. SoftWave® therapy can help improve joint function and ease the pain.
• Tendonitis: Tendonitis is the inflammation of tendons, which are the thick cords connecting your muscles to your bones. This condition often occurs due to overuse or repetitive motion, causing a dull ache or sharp pain in the affected area. 
• Plantar fasciitis: This condition affects the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) on the bottom of your foot. It is a common cause of heel pain, especially when you take your first steps in the morning. 
• Carpal tunnel syndrome: Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve in your wrist gets compressed, often from repetitive hand movements. This can result in numbness, tingling, and pain in your hand and wrist. 
• Restless leg syndrome (RLS): RLS is characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. These symptoms can interfere with your sleep and daily activities. 

Athletes and active people often suffer from repetitive stress injuries that lead to pain and limited movement. SoftWave® therapy can help stimulate tissue repair, restore tissue elasticity, and reduce inflammation. It is commonly used to treat:

• Tennis elbow (Lateral epicondylitis): Despite its name, tennis elbow can affect anyone who uses their arms repetitively. It causes pain on the outer part of your elbow, particularly when lifting or gripping objects. 
• Golfer’s elbow (Medial epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow but it affects the inner side of your elbow. This causes pain during gripping and wrist movements. 
• Shin splints: If you are a runner or engage in high-impact sports, you might experience shin splints, which cause pain along the front or inside of your lower leg. This condition occurs when the muscles and tendons around your shin become overworked or stressed. 
• Rotator cuff injuries: Rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help stabilize your shoulder. Injuries to these structures can lead to pain and reduced range of motion, making everyday tasks difficult. 
• Achilles tendinitis: This occurs when the Achilles tendon, which connects your calf muscles to your heel bone becomes inflamed. It often causes pain during walking, running, or even standing. 
• Hamstring strains: These strains occur when the muscles at the back of your thigh are overstretched or torn. This can cause sharp pain, swelling, and difficulty moving.

SoftWave®  therapy is effective in treating various injuries related to joints and soft tissues, which can significantly affect your daily life:

• Knee pain and injuries: Knee pain can result from several issues, including meniscus tears (small tears in the cartilage that cushions your knee), ligament strains, or general wear and tear of the knee joint. 
• Hip pain: Hip pain can arise from conditions like bursitis (inflammation of the cushioning sacs around your hip), tendonitis, or muscle strains in the hip. 
• Back and neck pain: Many people suffer from back or neck pain due to poor posture, herniated discs (when the cushioning disc between the bones in your spine slips out of place), or muscle tension. 
• Stress fractures: Stress fractures are small cracks in a bone often caused by repetitive force or overuse, and sometimes bones take longer to heal than expected. 

Sometimes pain and discomfort arise from issues with your nerves. SoftWave® therapy can help support nerve health and function.

• Neuropathy: Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the nerves, often leading to pain, tingling, or numbness in your hands or feet. 
• Sciatica: Sciatica is characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down through your legs. This pain is often due to nerve compression or inflammation. 
• Post-surgical nerve pain: After surgery, you might experience lingering nerve pain as your body heals. SoftWave® therapy can support nerve regeneration and reduce inflammation.

SoftWave® therapy works by naturally activating your body’s innate healing abilities. Kick-starting this natural repair process, not only provides rapid relief from pain but also helps to maintain that relief over time.

This means you can get back to your daily routine faster without relying on medications or invasive procedures. Moreover, it helps improve your overall mobility by targeting the root causes of pain and promoting tissue repair.

SoftWave® therapy has been rigorously tested and is trusted by some of the world’s leading research and medical centers. It is used by renowned institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, Yale Medical, and Cleveland Clinic. Its effectiveness is also recognized by top professional sports organizations, including:

• Major League Baseball (MLB)
• National Football League (NFL)
• National Basketball Association (NBA)
• National Hockey League (NHL)
• Major League Soccer (MLS)
• National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
• Professional Golfers' Association (PGA)
• United States Golf Association (USGA)
• USA Track & Field (USATF)
• Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA)
• Premier League
• Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)

This widespread use highlights the therapy’s credibility and proven track record in delivering reliable results.

SoftWave® therapy is an effective treatment that does not involve incisions, needles, anesthesia, or medications. Instead of invasive procedures, it uses advanced sound wave technology to naturally stimulate your body’s healing process.

SoftWave® therapy is a gentle yet powerful alternative for those seeking relief without the drawbacks of invasive treatments.

Each SoftWave® therapy session is brief, typically lasting only 10-15 minutes, making it easy to incorporate into even the busiest of schedules. The fast-acting nature of the treatment means you experience relief quickly.

There is no downtime after the therapy, and you can immediately return to your normal activities.

SoftWave® therapy is FDA (510k) cleared. This means it has been rigorously reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure it is safe and effective compared to similar treatments on the market. It is a patented and clinically proven treatment option you can trust.

SoftWave® therapy has little to no side effects. There is usually no bruising or swelling. In a few cases, you might notice a bit of redness or mild soreness at the treatment site, but this typically goes away within one to two days.

Your session will begin with one of our providers applying a special ultrasound gel to the treatment area. This gel helps the SoftWave® device transmit energy efficiently into your tissues for maximum therapeutic benefit.

• The handheld SoftWave® device is then gently placed on your skin, delivering targeted acoustic (sound) waves to the affected area.
• You may feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation in your body, which signals that the therapy is activating your body’s natural healing response.
• Some areas may feel mild discomfort or pain, particularly if there is inflammation or scar tissue. This is a normal response and a sign that the treatment is working.
• If you experience significant discomfort, our provider can adjust the intensity to ensure the session remains within your comfort level. Please let us know what you are feeling so we can optimize the treatment for you.

Each session typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the area being treated. The procedure is completely non-invasive, and there’s no need for anesthesia or numbing agents. 

You may feel mild warmth or redness in the treated area, but this typically fades quickly. Since there is no downtime, you can return to your daily activities immediately after your appointment. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for the next 24 to 48 hours to allow your body to fully respond to the treatment.

Some patients experience immediate pain relief and improved mobility, which can last anywhere from a few hours to several days. Others notice a gradual improvement over multiple sessions, particularly for chronic pain or long-standing injuries.

For optimal results, our providers may recommend a series of sessions, depending on your specific condition.
