Softwave Therapy
Harnessing revolutionary shockwave technology, SoftWave Therapy is designed to target injured areas at the cellular level, igniting the body's innate healing process.
WHAT IS SOFTWAVE THERAPY?
Softwave therapy is a transformative and powerful therapy that reaches deep into the tissues of the body that have been damaged. The shock wave activates your body’s natural self-repairing processes. Softwave therapy is a non-invasive, no anesthesia, no down time treatment.

SUCCESS RATE
The final outcome depends on a variety of factors. More than 91% patients report improvement even after just one treatment. More severe or chronic degenerative conditions may take longer to heal, so be patient and allow up to 12 weeks to evaluate your outcome. As your own bodies response and stem cell remodeling can be active up to 12 weeks after the last treatment. Life style can also have a profound effect on healing outcomes.
AFTER CARE
Drink plenty of water after your treatments to help flush out inflammatory debris and reduce soreness.
Avoid ice, heat, or anti-inflammatory medications (Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen) for 24 hours after treatment.
It is not uncommon to be sore after your treatment, especially if you have severe degeneration or acute injury.
Follow your recommended treatment plan.
Do not base success or failure on 1 treatment. Softwave is cumulative and healing takes time.

It is an alternative to surgery to treat musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions.
Does it work?
Depending on the type of treatment, studies show success rates of up to 99%
