What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy — also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) — uses sound waves to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. Originally developed to treat kidney stones, it has since evolved into an effective treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions.

The therapy delivers broad-focused true shockwaves through the skin to specific areas of the body. These waves penetrate deeply into tissues, enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and activating stem cells — all key components of the body’s natural repair process for muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

Unlike earlier generations of shockwave treatments that concentrated energy into a single point (often causing discomfort), SoftWave distributes energy across a wider area. This allows for a more comfortable experience while maximizing therapeutic benefits.

Backed by clinical research and FDA clearance, SoftWave Therapy has been shown to reduce pain, increase mobility, and improve post-surgical recovery. It’s an excellent option for patients who wish to avoid invasive procedures, lengthy rehabilitation, or dependence on medications.

Conditions SoftWave Therapy Can Help

Ready to get back to living pain-free? SoftWave Therapy is a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and accelerate healing — all without surgery, injections, or medication.

SoftWave helps treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Tendinitis (Achilles, rotator cuff, and more)
• Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
• Joint pain in the knee, hip, shoulder, or elbow
• Lower back pain
• Tennis or golfer’s elbow
• Muscle strains and ligament injuries
• Chronic inflammation
• Slow-healing or non-healing injuries

Whether you’re an athlete, an active adult, or recovering from surgery, SoftWave Therapy targets the root cause of pain — not just the symptoms — helping your body heal naturally and effectively.

How It Works

SoftWave Therapy uses gentle sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. During treatment, a handheld device delivers acoustic energy deep into your tissues, increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and activating your own stem cells to repair damaged areas.

Each session takes about 10–15 minutes, with no downtime and no anesthesia needed. Most patients describe it as a mild tapping sensation — and many feel noticeable relief after just one or two sessions.

If you’re tired of temporary fixes, discover how SoftWave Therapy can help you move, feel, and live better — naturally.

Experience the Benefits of SoftWave Therapy

Looking for a non-invasive, drug-free solution to pain and limited mobility? SoftWave Therapy is a breakthrough treatment that helps your body heal naturally, reduces inflammation, and delivers lasting relief — often where other treatments fall short.

Key Benefits:

• Non-invasive & drug-free: No surgery, injections, or long-term medications. No anesthesia or downtime.
• Faster healing: Boosts circulation and stimulates your body’s natural repair processes. Many patients notice improvements in just a few sessions.
• Pain & inflammation relief: Targets the root cause, reducing chronic pain and stiffness rather than masking symptoms.
• Stem cell activation: Encourages tissue regeneration for lasting recovery.
• Breakthrough results: Effective for chronic injuries and conditions that haven’t responded to traditional therapies.

Who Can Benefit?

SoftWave Therapy is ideal for:

• Athletes with repetitive strain injuries
• Adults with degenerative joint conditions
• Workers with overuse injuries
• Post-surgical patients seeking faster recovery

At Orthopedic & Shoulder Center, our highly trained providers carefully administer each session, targeting the affected area and adjusting intensity to ensure maximum benefit with minimal discomfort.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before Your Session:

• Wear comfortable clothing for easy access to the treatment area
• Stay hydrated
• Avoid lotions or oils on the skin

During Your Session:

• Typically 10–15 minutes
• A water-based gel is applied to help deliver gentle shockwaves
• Most patients feel mild tapping or pulsing — not pain

After Your Session:

• No downtime — return to normal activities immediately
• Temporary redness, tenderness, or swelling may occur
• Light activity is recommended to support healing

Cost & Insurance

Most patients require 3–8 sessions over several weeks. While SoftWave Therapy is usually not covered by insurance, many find it a cost-effective alternative to surgery or long-term medications. Discounted packages are available for multiple sessions.  Contact us at 972-596-1059 for pricing.

• Improved mobility and function
• Faster recovery from chronic or stubborn injuries
