Stem Cell Injections or SoftWave TRT for Pain?!

Published April 25th, 2025 by Dr. Sam Camarata

When you’re dealing with chronic pain—whether in your knee, shoulder, back, disc, or another joint or soft tissue—you’re likely searching for the best regenerative medicine options. Two treatments often come up in conversation: stem cell injections and SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy.

Both can stimulate healing at the cellular level. However, for many patients in Rochester, NY and surrounding areas, SoftWave Therapy is proving to be the safer, more cost-efficient, and conservative option—without the needles, downtime, or high price tag.


What Are Stem Cell Injections?

Stem cell injections involve extracting stem cells (often from bone marrow or fat tissue) and then injecting them directly into an injured or painful area. The idea is to use stem cells to promote healing, repair cartilage, and reduce inflammation.

While many patients have seen results, stem cell procedures:

  • Are invasive and involve needles.

  • Can be very expensive, often costing thousands of dollars.

  • Require specialized settings

  • May come with downtime and recovery, which can interrupt training or daily life.


What Is SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT)?

SoftWave Therapy (TRT) uses patented electrohydraulic broad-focused acoustic sound waves that safely penetrate deep into the body without needles or injections. Instead of inserting stem cells, SoftWave stimulates your body’s own stem cells and growth factors to accelerate repair naturally.

Why Patients Love SoftWave Therapy

  • Non-invasive: No needles, no injections, no surgery.

  • Cost-efficient: Far more affordable compared to stem cell procedures.

  • No downtime: You can get treated and go back to your day immediately.

  • Repeatable: Sessions can be done as often as needed to maintain healing and pain relief.

  • Trusted by athletes and top clinics: Used in the MLB, NFL, NBA, PGA, UFC, Premier League and leading universities for injury recovery and pain relief.


The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave works by activating the body’s natural healing response. The technology stimulates:

  • Migration of stem cells to the injured area.

  • Increased blood flow and circulation to tissues.

  • Reduced inflammation in and around painful joints.

  • Release of growth factors that help regenerate cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

This means patients experience real healing—not just symptom masking.


Which Option Is Right for You?

If you’re considering stem cell injections, it’s important to weigh the cost, invasiveness, and recovery time. While they can be effective, they are not always practical or accessible.

SoftWave Therapy, on the other hand, provides many of the same regenerative benefits—without the financial burden or risks of injections. That’s why so many of our patients here at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness in Rochester, NY choose SoftWave as their first-line conservative option for pain relief and recovery.


Take the Next Step Toward Healing

Don’t let pain hold you back or feel pressured into costly, invasive procedures before exploring safer, proven options.
