Softwave Therapy

SoftWave Therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, targeting joint pain and musculoskeletal conditions.

What is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy employs electrohydraulic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular regeneration, reducing inflammation, and improving blood circulation. It’s FDA-cleared for indications like improved blood supply, temporary pain relief, and treatment of conditions such as chronic diabetic foot ulcers and acute second-degree burns. The therapy is used for conditions including arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, and general joint pain, often as an alternative to surgery, injections, or medications.

How It Works for Joint Pain Relief

• Mechanism: Acoustic waves are delivered to the affected area, creating microtrauma that triggers the body’s healing response. This increases blood flow, modulates inflammation, and activates stem cells to repair damaged tissues.
• Conditions Treated: Acute/ chronic conditions, effective for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, “bone-on-bone” knee pain post surgical and joint replacement, hand, wrist, elbow, foot/ankle, neck, back, shoulder, hip pain, plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies, sport injuries, neuropathies. It reduces pain, stiffness, and swelling while improving mobility and joint function, stimulates healing by promoting cell regeneration and tissue repair, improves circulation by enhancing blood flow for faster recovery, breaks down scar tissue.
• Treatment Process: Sessions last 5-15 minutes, with ultrasound gel applied to the treatment area. Patients may feel a gentle tapping or mild discomfort. Most require 6-12 sessions for optimal results, depending on the condition’s severity.

Benefits

• Non-Invasive: No surgery, needles, or drugs, reducing risks and downtime.
• Pain Relief: Many patients report 20-50% pain reduction after one session, with 60-91% success rates for musculoskeletal pain after a full course.
• Improved Mobility: Enhances range of motion and joint function, aiding daily activities.
• Minimal Side Effects: Slight redness or soreness may occur, resolving within 1-2 days. No bruising or swelling is typical.
• Long-Lasting Results: Addresses underlying inflammation and tissue damage, offering sustained relief compared to temporary fixes like cortisone shots
