Meet Dr. Chris Dreas
I have been in practice for over 16 years.
I have always tried to stay on top of the newest technology in pain control and healing.
I have developed multiple businesses over the years including Chiropractic Clinics, a Health Spa, a Functional Health Clinic, a Balance Clinic, and now a Pain Management/recovery Clinic. We are very knowledgeable in many areas of Health.
If we don’t believe we can help you, we will guide you to the appropriate clinic.
When I discovered Softwave Therapy, I was very impressed because of the amount of actually healing that is produced. Years of research have proven this. I have now been using this therapy for over 2 years and the results with our patients are amazing, some would say miraculous!

SoftWave FAQs
-
What results should I expect from SoftWave Therapy?
If you are a candidate for treatment, SoftWave therapy can provide both immediate and long-lasting results. After one SoftWave session, patients typically experience a 20-50% reduction in pain and improvement in mobility, lasting from a few hours to several days. Some patients require multiple sessions before experiencing improvement.
To determine if SoftWave is a suitable treatment for you, schedule a $69 New Patient Appointment, where you will receive one SoftWave treatment session, and the provider will assess whether further treatment is appropriate.
Unlike pain medications and injections, SoftWave treatment seeks to activate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level to deliver genuine and long-lasting results.
-
What is the SoftWave treatment process like?
SoftWave is a fast and convenient non-invasive procedure that usually lasts 10-15 minutes, with no downtime required for recovery. First, ultrasound gel is applied, then the SoftWave device is gently placed to deliver shock waves to the injured area. Most patients feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation, while some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort. The use of anesthesia or numbing agents is not necessary. Effective communication with the provider during treatment can help identify treatment hotspots and track progress.

Is SoftWave therapy safe after surgery?

Does SoftWave therapy have side effects?
Side effects from SoftWave therapy are minimal and non-restrictive. SoftWave does not cause bruising or swelling, although some patients may experience slight redness and soreness that typically subsides within one to two days.
