SoftWave TRT is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle but powerful acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Instead of simply covering up pain, SoftWave is designed to help address injured or irritated tissue and encourage the body to repair itself.

SoftWave therapy does not involve needles, injections, medication, or surgery.

How Does SoftWave Work?

During treatment, a handheld applicator is placed over the injured or painful area. The device sends acoustic waves through the skin and into the tissues below.

These waves create a biological response within the treated area that can help increase local blood flow, activate connective tissue, and stimulate cellular processes involved in healing and tissue repair. SoftWave is FDA cleared for uses that include temporary pain relief, temporarily increasing local blood circulation, and activation of connective tissue.

Think of SoftWave as giving the injured area a gentle “wake-up call.” When an injury or painful condition has been present for a long time, the normal healing process may have slowed down. The acoustic waves help stimulate activity within the tissues and encourage the body’s own repair processes.

SoftWave is commonly used as part of treatment for painful muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

Depending on the individual patient, it may be helpful for problems involving areas such as:

1. Knees
2. Shoulders and rotator cuff
3. Elbows and tennis elbow
4. Hips
5. Achilles tendon
6. Feet and plantar fascia
7. Back and neck
8. Muscle and tendon injuries
9. Overuse and sports injuries
10. Chronic areas of pain or tenderness

Shockwave therapy has been studied extensively for a variety of musculoskeletal and soft-tissue conditions, particularly tendon-related problems.

How Can SoftWave Help With Healing?

SoftWave is different from treatments that simply numb an area or temporarily mask symptoms. The goal is to create an environment that supports the body's own healing response.

SoftWave treatment may help:

1. Increase blood flow to the treated area
2. Stimulate cellular activity involved in tissue repair
3. Activate connective tissue
4. Support the body's natural healing response
5. Reduce pain and tenderness
6. Improve movement and function
7. Help patients return to normal activities with less discomfort

The acoustic waves produced by SoftWave can trigger biological responses associated with circulation, inflammation regulation, and tissue repair.
