Repair. Regenerate. Relieve.
Gentle, non-invasive therapy that activates the body’s natural healing power.
How Does SoftWave Work?
Soundwaves Applied
A special device sends gentle sound waves into the area that hurts. These waves go deep below the skin to reach the damaged tissue. The treatment is non-invasive and doesn’t require needles or surgery.
Cells Activated
The sound waves wake up healing cells that may have slowed down or stopped working due to stress, injury, or inflammation. Once activated, these cells start working again to clean up damage and support repair.
Decreased Pain
As healing cells respond, blood flow improves in the area, helping carry away waste and bring in oxygen and nutrients. This process helps reduce swelling, calm irritation, and ease pain over time.
Tissue Rebuilds
Once inflammation lowers and cells are active, the body begins to repair damaged tissue. New, healthy cells grow, helping to rebuild strength, improve movement, and support long-term recovery.
What Does SoftWave Help With?
A non-invasive option for pain, injury, and slow healing—backed by science and trusted across multiple conditions.
SoftWave therapy supports the body’s natural healing process and is used for a wide range of concerns. Whether pain started from injury, wear and tear, or long-term inflammation, this therapy helps activate repair where the body needs it most.
Common conditions treated with SoftWave include:
-Joint pain (shoulder, hip, knee, elbow)
-Back and neck pain
-Tendonitis and soft tissue injuries
-Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
-Sciatica and nerve-related discomfort
-Chronic inflammation
-Muscle strain or tightness
-Sports injuries
-Post-surgical recovery support
-Slow-healing wounds
SoftWave is also used in top sports medicine clinics and wellness centers to help speed recovery, reduce downtime, and improve quality of movement without drugs or surgery.
Preparing for Your First SoftWave Therapy Treatment
Getting ready for your first SoftWave Therapy session is simple and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect and how to prepare:
Before your appointment
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. Shorts, loose pants, or short-sleeve shirts are usually best depending on the injury site.
- Stay hydrated by drinking water before your session. Proper hydration can help maximize the effectiveness of the therapy.
- Avoid applying lotions or oils to the skin over the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
During the session
- The session will typically last 10 to 15 minutes.
- Your provider will apply a water-based gel to the treatment area to help conduct the acoustic waves.
- You might feel a pulsing, tapping, or mild discomfort during the application, but it should not be painful. Communicate with your provider if you experience anything more than mild discomfort — they can adjust settings as needed.
After the session
- No downtime is required — you can return to normal activities immediately unless otherwise advised.
- Some patients experience mild redness, tenderness, or swelling around the treatment site. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours.
- Your provider may recommend light activity and avoiding heavy exertion for the rest of the day to support the healing response.
SoftWave Therapy Recovery
One of the significant advantages of SoftWave Therapy is the minimal recovery required. In most cases, you can return to your normal daily activities immediately after your session, unless your provider advises otherwise. There is no downtime, and you typically won’t need to take any special precautions. This allows you to seamlessly integrate your treatment into your schedule without significant disruption.
Research has shown that SoftWave can stimulate healing for up to two weeks after the treatment so it is recommended to avoid further injuring the area to give the tissue the best chances to take full advantage of the healing process.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be fully prepared to get the most out of your SoftWave Therapy sessions and begin your journey toward lasting relief.

What Makes SoftWave A Better Option
Each SoftWave session lasts around 10 to 15 minutes. You’ll be comfortably seated while a handheld device delivers gentle pulses to the treatment area. Most patients describe the feeling as a light tapping or mild pressure that’s easy to tolerate. There’s no prep required, and once your session is complete, you can return to your day with no downtime or recovery needed.
Unlike other therapies that cover up symptoms or rely on medications or surgery, SoftWave works with your body’s own healing systems. It sends signals to activate stem cells, improve blood flow, and calm inflammation—helping your body repair tissue naturally. SoftWave also treats a wider area than many traditional shockwave devices, which makes it especially useful for complex or chronic issues that need full-body support.
SoftWave may be an ideal option if past treatments haven’t worked or if you’re looking for a gentle, science-backed way to feel better without invasive steps. It’s used across a range of concerns—from stubborn joint pain and sports injuries to slow-healing wounds and nerve discomfort. If you’re ready to explore new possibilities for healing, this could be the next right step.
