How SoftWave therapy works
During a session, a gel is applied to the treatment area before a handheld applicator is used to deliver the acoustic waves. These waves trigger several biological responses at the cellular level:
Activates stem cells: It stimulates dormant or resident stem cells to migrate to the damaged area to promote tissue repair.
Increases blood circulation: It encourages the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissue.
Reduces inflammation: It helps to modulate inflammation, a key factor in chronic pain and tissue damage.
Breaks down scar tissue: The waves can help break down scar tissue and calcifications that restrict movement and cause pain.
Common uses
SoftWave therapy is FDA-cleared for certain uses and is most commonly applied in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy for a wide range of conditions:
Orthopedic and musculoskeletal pain: Back, neck, knee, shoulder, elbow, and hip pain.
Overuse injuries: Plantar fasciitis, tendinitis (including Achilles, rotator cuff, and tennis elbow), shin splints, and jumper's knee.
Chronic and diabetic wounds: To accelerate healing in chronic diabetic foot ulcers and second-degree burns.
Neuropathies: To help with nerve pain in conditions like neuropathy.
Regenerative medicine: For tissue regeneration and post-surgical healing.
