Running Towards Pain Relief: Ken's Severe Achilles Tendinitis Success Story with SoftWave Therapy

Published August 4th, 2023 by Dr. Sam Camarata

Meet Ken, a dynamic individual who leads an active lifestyle filled with running, coaching soccer, and even owning a local contracting business! 

However, his life took a challenging turn when he suffered a soccer injury that led to a knee injury requiring ACL, MCL, and meniscus repair surgery. After months of dedicated physical therapy, Ken was on his way to regaining strength, mobility, and stability in his injured knee.


Yet, an unexpected consequence arose due to the uneven weight distribution and loading on his opposite leg. Ken developed severe Achilles Tendinitis, a painful condition affecting the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.The pain in his Achilles tendon was unbearable and impacted his ability to carry out daily activities and pursue his active lifestyle.


Ken was determined to find an effective solution that would not only alleviate his pain but also help him resume his busy and active life. He decided to explore SoftWave Therapy as an alternative to the traditional medical route, which often involves invasive procedures and lengthy recovery times.

Under the expert care of Dr. Sam Camarata and the team at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, Ken began his SoftWave Therapy journey. During his first session, he experienced a significant improvement in his Achilles tendon pain. The relief was palpable, and Ken was delighted to find that he could put more weight on his once painful side and walk more normally.

SoftWave Therapy proved to be a game-changer for Ken, allowing him to get back to his normal lifestyle with significantly less pain. This innovative therapy utilizes supersonic electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate natural healing processes in the body. 

For tendinitis cases like Ken's, SoftWave Therapy can target the affected area precisely, promoting tissue regeneration, reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow.

As Ken continued with his SoftWave Therapy sessions, he noticed a steady and consistent improvement in his Achilles tendon pain. He could feel the benefits in all aspects of his life, from managing his contracting business and fulfilling his responsibilities as a firefighter to actively coaching his two boys' soccer teams.


One of the significant advantages of SoftWave Therapy for tendinitis is that it can reach deep into the affected tissue and stimulate stem cell activation, leading to true healing at the cellular level. 

Unlike traditional approaches that may mask the pain temporarily, SoftWave Therapy aims for long-lasting results and offers a conservative, non-surgical solution.



Today, Ken is back on track, running towards his passions and enjoying an active life once again. SoftWave Therapy has been a game-changer for him, allowing him to embrace his busy lifestyle with less pain and discomfort.
