SOFTWAVE THERAPY

What is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave uses therapeutic energy waves (shockwaves) to activate the body’s natural healing. It’s safe, doesn’t require surgery, drugs, or needles, and helps reduce pain, speed up recovery, and regenerate tissue. We utilize SoftWave in a multidisciplinary approach that addresses joint and muscle pain, pelvic and sexual health issues, as well as wound care. Softwave provides fast pain relief. Shockwave therapy with SoftWave TRT TM is an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and address various indications causing acute or chronic pain.

How does SoftWave therapy work?

The SoftWave applicator design makes it possible to use energy to to treat a large area of both superficial and deep tissue soliciting a biological response to the target area without causing microtrauma. SoftWave Therapy delivers acoustic shockwaves to targeted areas of the body. These shockwaves stimulate tissue repair, increase blood flow, and reduce inflammation, leading to faster healing and pain relief.

What to Expect for A SoftWave Therapy Session

The procedure averages 5-10 minutes but may be longer depending on treatment area and diagnosis. A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated. The applicator produces pulses as the clinician moves around the treatment area. During the procedure a light tapping is felt at the skin surface. As the area is inspected with the applicator the patient is continuously giving feedback to the practitioner about what they are feeling. Together the patient and the practitioner find the right area and most optimal level to obtain pain relief. Unlike our Softwave device OTHER shockwave devices i.e. radial devices, EPAT, focused shockwave can be signficantly uncomfortable and can cause bruising. We chose Softwave because it’s effective and very comfortable for our patients.
