What is SoftWave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy, or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (EWST),  is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shockwaves to an injured area to promote healing. This treatment produces highly effective shockwaves that initiate biological regeneration processes at the cellular level.
SoftWave technology applies short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy (in the form of a shockwave) into soft-tissue that is injured, scarred, or contains adhesions, is painful, or inflamed. The use of therapeutic energy waves to activate the body's natural healing is safe, doesn't require surgery, drugs, or needles, and helps reduce pain and speed up recovery. 

​SoftWave technology allows us to pinpoint treatment areas accurately through real-time patient feedback. This precise targeting can improve your treatment outcomes and efficiency.

What is treatment like?

  • Quick treatment times - avg 10-15 minutes.
  • A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated.
  • Applicator produces pulses as the clinician moves it around the treatment area.
  • Patient provides immediate feedback and settings are adjuisted based on patient tolerance and targeted tissue needs.​

How does SoftWave work?

SPARKING THE BODY'S NATURAL HEALING

Mechanotransduction Mechanism With 3 Phases

Picture
1. PHYSICAL
Shockwaves energy generates a large positive pressure wave followed by a negative pressure wave.

2. CHEMICAL
 Mechanical stimulus leads to biochemical reactions. Biomolecules are released and cell signaling is activated.

3. BIOLOGICAL 
Angiogenesis, inflammatory modulation, stimulation of tissue regeneration.

Change at the Cellular Level to Initiate Healing

3 Types of Shockwave Therapy

There are 3 types of true shock wave therapies and 1 assumed type (Radial) that is not a true shock wave therapy
​ELECTROHYDRAULIC
​
Focused/Broad Focused
ELECTROMAGNETIC
Focused
PIEZOELECTRIC
Focused
​In addition, within shockwave therapy, there is High Intensity and Low Intensity

SoftWave delivers therapeutic levels of acoustic energy over the broadest treatment area

SoftWave therapy requires the least number of shocks, the fewest treatments, and superior outcomes with the least pain at energy levels that do not cause cellular trauma or injury.
