What is
SoftWave?
SoftWave Therapy, or Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT), is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of short, frequent, and high-intensity bursts of mechanical energy (in the form of a shockwave) to promote healing into soft tissue that is injured, scarred, contains adhesions, is painful, or inflamed. Inside of the applicator head, SoftWaves are created through the use of an electrode contained within a soft latex dome filled with water. When charged with electricity, the electrode creates a spark under the water.
This spark creates a hot bubble of gas that expands into the surrounding water and produces the SoftWave that travels out of the applicator and into the affected area being treated. These high-energy acoustic waves penetrate deep into damaged tissue, resulting in increased mobility and significant reduction.
Treats Root Cause
SoftWave is both diagnostic and therapeutic in nature. When administered over damaged tissue, the treatment will elicit a response, indicating the right area is being treated.
Restores Mobility
With the rapid reduction of inflammation, you can benefit from an increased function and range of motion – many times after the first treatment.
Surgery & Drug Free
SoftWave is a non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require the use of drugs or injections and is an effective alternative to opiates.
Reduces Pain & Inflammation
SoftWave penetrates deep into the tissue & modulates the inflammatory response of the cells within the injured area and can reduce pain by 70–90% after the first treatment.
Promotes Long-Term Healing
SoftWave stimulates, activates, and recruits resident stem cells to effectively heal the damaged area and produce lasting results.
Improves Blood Flow & Circulation
SoftWave is FDA cleared for improved blood supply. Studies show a 300% increase in blood vessels following treatment.
Common Questions
Is the treatment new?
No. It is the standard of care for soft tissue injuries in Europe and has been a non-surgical option in the U.S. for over 20 years.
Is it FDA approved?
We are FDA 510(k) cleared for: Activation of connective tissue, treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers and treatment of acute second-degree burns. It is FDA 510(k) registered for: Pain reductionand Improved blood supply.
How long is the treatment?
Typically, 5-15 minutes.
Is it painful?
There may be mild discomfort, but patients typically don’t complain of treatment pain.
How many treatments are recommended?
The number of treatments varies for each individual and depends on factors such as the area being treated, the type of injury, and your body’s unique response to care. SoftWave therapy follows established protocols designed to guide providers in delivering optimal results. Some people notice improvement after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a longer course of care.
How long before I feel the difference?
Often times immediately, yet the best outcomes occur roughly 12 weeks after the last treatment.
Is the treatment covered by insurance?
At this time, insurance does not pay for this treatment.
Who is a candidate for SoftWave?
Most people are good candidates for shock wave treatment however patients who are pregnant, have a pacemaker or current cancer are not suitable for treatment. We will provide you with information about conditions you may have that would affect your ability to undergo treatment.
What conditions can be treated with SoftWave?
SoftWave therapy can successfully address acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries related to: knee, heel, foot, ankle, hamstring, back, pelvis, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. In addition, research has shown promising results in the area of sexual health, cosmetics and wound healing.
Are there any side effects?
There is no bruising or swelling. For some, redness and soreness can occur but it usually subsides in a day or two.
Are there any restrictions following the treatment?
You should not take any pain medicine or engage in any activities that would aggravate the injured area. If necessary, we may provide additional restrictions on an individual basis.
What is involved in the procedure?
A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated, then the applicator is gently applied to the skin. You will hear a sound as we move around the treatment area. During therapy, you'll communicate with the clinician to identify treatment areas and monitor progress.
An Affordable Alternative to Surgery, Injections, and Medications
SoftWave Therapy offers a non-invasive and drug-free alternative to traditional treatments like injections, surgery, and medication. With a lifetime cost ranging from $900 to $2,400, it is significantly more affordable than injections ($15,000–$100,000), surgery ($3,000–$75,000), or long-term medications ($15,000–$70,000). The treatment process for SoftWave is non-invasive and requires no recovery time, unlike injections and surgery, which may involve minimal to extensive recovery periods. While SoftWave and surgery provide long-term results, injections and medications often yield temporary relief. Additionally, SoftWave stands out as a drug-free solution, unlike injections and medications, which typically rely on pharmaceuticals.
