What is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave is FDA-cleared electrohydraulic shockwave technology that restarts your body's natural healing response at the cellular level. Unlike traditional treatments that mask pain, SoftWave actually repairs damaged tissue—making it the gold standard for chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Trusted by Mayo Clinic, UCLA Health, and professional sports teams including the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLS.

How it works

SoftWave uses electrohydraulic technology to generate unfocused acoustic pressure waves that penetrate deep into tissue. Here's the science:

Step 1: Spark Creates Energy

An electrical spark is fired underwater inside the treatment head, creating an intense burst of energy.

Step 2: Bubble Formation

This energy vaporizes the surrounding water, forming a cavitation bubble that rapidly expands and collapses.

Step 3: Pressure Wave Generation

The collapsing bubble creates a powerful acoustic pressure wave that travels through tissue at supersonic speed.

Step 4: Cellular Activation

These waves trigger a biological cascade:

  • Stem cell mobilization: Your body sends healing cells to the treated area

  • Neovascularization: New blood vessels form, improving circulation

  • Tissue regeneration: Damaged cells are replaced with healthy, functional tissue

  • Pain reduction: Nerve hypersensitivity decreases

The result: Your body heals itself, naturally and permanently.

FDA-Cleared for Multiple Conditions

  • 1. Activation of Connective Tissue

    Stimulates collagen production and tissue repair in tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

  • 2. Improved Blood Flow

    Increases circulation and oxygen delivery to damaged tissue.

  • 3. Pain Reduction

    Decreases pain signals and nerve hypersensitivity.

  • 4. Treatment of Acute Second-Degree Burns

    Restores range of motion and functional movement.

  • 5. Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers

    Treats chronic orthopedic conditions including plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and more.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your First Session

We'll start with a thorough assessment of your condition, movement patterns, and treatment goals. Then we'll begin your first SoftWave session.

During the Session

  • Duration: 5-10 minutes of active treatment

  • Sensation: Most patients describe it as deep tapping or pressure. It's not painless, but it's tolerable.

  • Intensity: We adjust the power based on your comfort level and tissue response

  • Coverage: We treat the entire affected area plus surrounding tissue for comprehensive healing

After the Session

You can resume normal activities immediately. Some patients experience mild soreness for 24-48 hours (similar to post-workout muscle soreness)—this is a sign the healing process has begun.

Treatment Protocol

  • Frequency: 1-2 sessions per week

  • Acute conditions: 3-6 sessions

  • Chronic conditions: 6-12 sessions

  • Maintenance: Occasional sessions as needed

Results Timeline

  • After 1-2 sessions: Some patients notice reduced pain and increased mobility

  • After 4-6 sessions: Most patients experience significant improvement

  • 8-12 weeks: Full tissue remodeling and lasting relief

Success rate: 70-90% of patients achieve significant pain reduction and functional improvement.
