SOFTWAVE FAQ
You may be asking yourself, what is SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic (sound) waves to promote tissue repair and regeneration. It stimulates
the body’s natural healing processes, which also helps to reduce pain and improve mobility.
How does it work?
The SoftWave's gentle sound waves help your body to heal itself. These sound waves go deep into your body - kind of like how an
ultrasound works - and it triggers a biological response that helps with healing.
If you have pain, inflammation, or an old injury that won't go away, SoftWave Therapy encourages the regeneration of damaged tissues
by bringing stem cells to the damaged area to start the healing process. Even one session can result in the growth of new blood vessels.
SoftWave also increases blood flow, reduces swelling, and helps repair damaged tissue - all without needles, surgery, or medication. Most
people just feel a little pulsing during the treatment, and many start feeling better in just a few sessions.
It is safe, non-invasive, and helps your body to do what it's naturally built to do - HEAL.
What can SoftWave Therapy help with?
SoftWave Therapy is great for two big things: (1) Relieving Pain and (2) Helping your body to heal naturally. It works by targeting areas
like bones, tendons, and soft tissue - encouraging them to repair and regenerate, including new, healthy cell growth.
Some common issues SoftWave can help with include (but is not limited to):
- Inflammation and Swelling
- Poor blood flow
- Chronic pain (like in your back, neck, or joints)
- Tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis
- Muscle strains
- Abdominal tightness or restrictions

Is SoftWave Therapy safe?
Yes, it is absolutely safe. It's non-invasive, which means no needles, no surgery, and no medications. And, most people feel little to no
discomfort during treatment. Plus, it's FDA-cleared for things like pain relief, improved blood flow, and connective tissue activation.
To give you an idea of how safe it is, doctors in Austria used a SoftWave device directly on a patients heart during open-heart surgery, and it actually improved the patient's recovery. That's how gentle and trustworthy this technology is.
How effective is SoftWave Therapy?
Very effective! Depending on what you're treating, studies show success rates of up to 99%. Many people start feeling better with just a few sessions.
How is SoftWave different from other shockwave devices on the market?
SoftWave has a wider and deeper therapeutic energy zone than all other devices on the market. This results in greater healing as the
energy is spread over a vastly larger and deeper area.
How long does a session take?
Each treatment usually lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How many sessions will I need?
That really depends on your specific condition, but most people need between 3 and 10 sessions. The good news is that the healing is
cumulative - so each session helps more than the last.
Is it painful?
There may be mild discomfort, but patients typically do not complain about pain during treatment. If needed, the settings can always be
adjusted to make the treatment more tolerable.
When will I start feeling results?
Some patients feel relief after just one session, while others may notice changes a little later. Everyone is different, but the body continues
to respond and heal even weeks after treatment. The best outcomes occur roughly 12 weeks after the last treatment as this is when the
peak stem cells have migrated to the area and the blood vessels have had a chance to grow. Deep healing takes time.
Can I use SoftWave with other treatments?
Definitely! SoftWave works really well alongside other therapies like physical therapy, chiropractic care, or massage. It's a great addition
to your overall treatment plan.
Is there any downtime afterward, and what is the healing timeline?
There is usually no downtime at all. You can go right back to your regular activities after a session. For more information on what to
expect after your treatments, click here.
Who can benefit from SoftWave?
Almost anyone dealing with pain, injuries, or slow-healing tissues. Whether you're athletic, dealing with chronic pain, or just want to help
your body heal more naturally - SoftWave may be a great fit for you.
Is there anyone who shouldn't use SoftWave?
While it's safe for most people, it is not recommended if you have any of the following:
* An implanted electronic device (like a pacemaker or defibrillator)
* It also should not be used over a uterus when pregnant (other parts of the body are fine to treat)
* or over malignant tumors
Your practitioner will speak with you to make sure it's a safe option based on your health history.
