Before You Try Another Injection, Read This: Why SoftWave Therapy Is Rochester’s New Solution for Pain Relief
Millions of people in Rochester, NY and across the country struggle with knee pain, shoulder pain, back pain, and arthritis. When the pain becomes too much, traditional medicine often turns to steroid injections or gel injections as the next step. But here’s the truth: injections may provide short-term relief, yet they do nothing to repair or regenerate damaged tissue. Even worse, repeated injections can actually weaken tendons, ligaments, and joints over time.
At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness in North Chili, Dr. Sam Camarata and his team are helping patients break free from this cycle with a cutting-edge, non-surgical therapy that’s changing the future of pain relief: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology.
Why Injections Fall Short
Steroid and gel injections have been a go-to in orthopedic pain management for years. They can help reduce inflammation temporarily, but the results rarely last. Here’s why:
-
No healing effect: Injections mask pain but do not repair damaged tissue.
-
Short-lived relief: Most patients need repeat injections every few months.
-
Potential side effects: Repeated steroid use can weaken soft tissues and accelerate joint degeneration.
-
Limited use: Doctors restrict the number of injections you can receive because of the damage they may cause long term.
In other words, injections are a band-aid—they don’t address the root cause of your pain.
Enter SoftWave Therapy: A Regenerative Alternative
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is one of the fastest-growing solutions in the United States for pain relief and recovery. Developed in Germany and trusted by leading medical centers like the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and Walter Reed Military Center, as well as professional sports teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and more, SoftWave is revolutionizing the way we approach musculoskeletal pain.
At our office in Rochester, NY, we use SoftWave to help patients who are looking for a non-surgical, non-injection, drug-free alternative that truly stimulates healing.
How Does SoftWave Therapy Work?
SoftWave is not another temporary fix. It works at the cellular level to stimulate your body’s natural repair mechanisms. Using electrohydraulic broad-focused acoustic waves, SoftWave penetrates deep into injured tissues, tendons, ligaments, joints, discs, and nerves.
Here’s the science of why it’s so effective:
-
Angiogenesis: Stimulates new blood vessel growth to improve circulation and deliver oxygen and nutrients.
-
VEGF & eNOS: Growth factors that help with vascular repair and anti-inflammatory effects.
-
Stem cell activation & migration: Resident stem cells are “woken up” and sent to the injury site to promote repair and regeneration.
-
PCNA & BMP: Proteins that assist in cellular repair and bone/cartilage health.
-
Neovascularization: Creation of new microcirculation networks to heal tissues.
-
Flushing of trapped inflammation & senescent cells: Clears out old, damaged cells and reduces chronic inflammation.
Instead of covering up pain, SoftWave helps the body repair, rebuild, and regenerate.
