Our office is designed to be a place where the journey to better health begins. Our team takes pride in helping you achieve your health goals.
This specific Tissue Regeneration Technologies uses extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) which penetrates deep into the tissue and thus to the site of injury. Shockwaves initiate a biologic healing response through a release of growth factors, anti-inflammatory agents, and an improved blood supply in response to ESWT. Shockwaves elicit a strong cellular response by activating mitochondria (the cell’s power source) in nerve cells. This latest generation ESWT device utilizes softwave therapy to help your body heal itself. Millions of people have received shockwave treatment without any significant side effects. In a few cases, patients experience some pain during treatment – especially when the treatment area is close to bone or is acutely inflamed.

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.
