SoftWave

This noninvasive, nonsurgical treatment uses unfocused electrohydraulic shock waves to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate the body’s reparative process on a cellular level. Otherwise known as ESWT—or extracorporeal shockwave therapy—it’s an attractive, drug-free option for individuals hoping to prevent surgery or long-term medication use.

SoftWave is commonly administered to address:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
• Acute and chronic injuries, such as high ankle sprains and stress fractures
• Chronic tendinopathies (e.g., rotator cuff injuries, Achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinopathy)
• Osteoarthritis-related pain or discomfort (especially in the knee, hip, or shoulder)
• Muscle strains and tears (e.g., hamstring, quadriceps, calf)
• Ligament injuries (such as sprains or partial tears)
• Bursitis and other inflammatory conditions (shoulder, hip, knee, etc.)
• Sports and overuse Injuries
• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
• IT band syndrome (iliotibial band syndrome)
• Post-surgical recovery (for enhanced healing and reduced scar tissue)
• Sciatica
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Chronic inflammation

As compared to traditional focused shock waves or radial waves, SoftWave applies broad-focused true shockwaves to penetrate a wider and deeper area of damage and stimulate healing–without causing microtrauma.

With a demonstrated ability to efficiently and effectively address the underlying cause(s) of pain and inflammation, many patients experience symptom relief and improved mobility with minimal downtime, and after just a session or two. Appointments generally last five to 15 minutes and are recommended once a week, at three-to-five-week intervals.

Although SoftWave is a cost-effective treatment option, it is not covered by insurance. Please connect with our office directly for more information on this, and for payment options.
