Top 7 Conditions SoftWave Therapy Can Help Treat Without Surgery

When you’re in pain, the last thing you want is a long recovery—or worse, surgery that doesn’t guarantee relief. At Camarata Chiropractic, we’ve helped hundreds of patients in Rochester and the surrounding areas find powerful, lasting relief using SoftWave Therapy—a non-invasive, drug-free, and FDA-cleared treatment that promotes healing from the inside out.

Led by Dr. Sam Camarata, along with Dr. Brian Dickinson and Dr. Joe Carroll, our team uses SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, reduce inflammation, and repair damaged tissue—without the risks, downtime, or guesswork of surgery. Whether you’re an athlete, a working professional, or someone who’s tried everything else, SoftWave may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Here are 7 common conditions SoftWave Therapy can help treat—without surgery:

1. Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain

If you wake up with stabbing pain in your heel or arch, chances are you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis. It’s one of the most common foot conditions we treat with SoftWave. Traditional approaches like rest, orthotics, or cortisone injections offer short-term relief, but they rarely address the root cause.

SoftWave Therapy targets the inflamed tissue, increases blood flow to the plantar fascia, and activates the body’s own regenerative cells. Many patients report improvement in just a few sessions, and we routinely see long-term relief—even for cases that have lingered for years.

2. Shoulder Tendonitis and Rotator Cuff Injuries

Shoulder pain can make everyday tasks like reaching, lifting, or even sleeping miserable. Tendonitis, bursitis, and partial rotator cuff tears are notoriously slow to heal due to poor blood supply in the area.

SoftWave changes that. By increasing blood flow and cellular activity at the injury site, it helps stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Athletes and weekend warriors alike turn to SoftWave at Camarata Chiropractic to get back to doing what they love—without surgical intervention.

3. Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow

Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow) are repetitive strain injuries that respond extremely well to SoftWave Therapy. If you’ve tried braces, stretching, or physical therapy with little success, this could be your next step.

SoftWave penetrates deep into the tissues to reduce micro-tears and promote regeneration. The treatment is non-invasive, and most patients report significant pain reduction and improved function after just a few sessions.

4. Chronic Knee Pain and Tendonitis

From jumper’s knee to patellar tendonitis to osteoarthritis-related pain, the knee is one of the most common problem areas we see. Surgery can be an expensive, invasive, and last-resort option—but SoftWave offers a safe alternative.

By stimulating stem cell activity and improving circulation in the affected tissue, SoftWave can help reduce swelling, restore function, and promote natural healing in the knee joint. Whether you’re trying to delay surgery or avoid it entirely, our doctors can help you explore your options.

5. Sciatica and Nerve Pain

Shooting pain down your leg? Tingling, numbness, or weakness? Sciatica and nerve-related pain can sideline even the most active individuals. SoftWave helps address this at the source—stimulating regeneration in nerve pathways and reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Unlike traditional treatments that often mask symptoms with medication, SoftWave Therapy supports true recovery and improves overall nerve function. Dr. Brian Dickinson has worked with many patients who had chronic sciatica and now enjoy long-lasting relief thanks to consistent SoftWave treatment protocols.

6. Hip Pain and Bursitis

Chronic hip pain and trochanteric bursitis can limit your mobility, especially as you age. Rather than relying on injections or invasive procedures, many patients are turning to SoftWave as a more sustainable, regenerative option.

SoftWave delivers unfocused acoustic waves to the hip joint and surrounding tissues, enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation. Whether you're dealing with pain from daily wear and tear or post-injury flare-ups, SoftWave can help you move better and feel better without surgery.

7. Non-Healing Injuries and Scar Tissue

If you've had an old injury that never quite healed right—or if you've developed scar tissue that's limiting your mobility—SoftWave Therapy can help restart the healing process. By activating dormant cells and breaking down fibrotic tissue, SoftWave helps “wake up” areas that have been stagnant for too long.

At Camarata Chiropractic, we frequently see results in patients who have “tried everything.” Our team, including Dr. Joe Carroll, takes a detailed approach to evaluating stubborn injuries and using SoftWave as part of a personalized plan for recovery and long-term relief.
