When we run the device over healthy, normal tissue, no biofeedback response is produced.

Is SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy the Same as Shockwave Therapy?

While both SoftWave TRT Therapy and Shockwave Therapy utilize sound waves for treatment, they differ in terms of technology and therapeutic approach. SoftWave TRT Therapy utilizes electro-hydaulic supersonic acoustic waves that travel 3355 mph into the tissue and/or joint being treated promoting tissue regeneration and healing at the deepest layers!

SoftWave TRT has put over $25 million into research and development, has over 48+ open and active patents and holds the only patent for peripheral nerve regeneration! SoftWave TRT is also FDA cleared and approved. SoftWave TRT does not cause or rely on microtrauma but rather mechanotransduction, when the acoustic waves compresses and expands the cell membrane mimic a "trauma" without actually causing trauma, allowing increased blood supply to the area, decrease in inflammation and stimulation, activation and recruitment of resident stem cells to truly heal the effected tissues, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, discs, cartilage, nerves that are damaged, arthritic, scar tissue or inflamed.

Does SoftWave Therapy Really Work?

Numerous studies and patient testimonials support the efficacy of SoftWave Therapy. The treatment has shown promising results in reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing healing for various musculoskeletal conditions. However, individual responses may vary, and the effectiveness of SoftWave Therapy can depend on factors such as the specific condition being treated and the patient's overall health.

Does SoftWave Therapy Help Arthritis?

Yes, SoftWave Therapy has been shown to provide significant relief for individuals with arthritis. By promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, SoftWave Therapy can alleviate pain, improve joint function, and enhance the overall quality of life for arthritis sufferers.

SoftWave Therapy Cost

The cost of SoftWave Therapy can vary depending on several factors, including the location, the number of treatment sessions required, and the specific condition being treated. We recommend scheduling a Day 1 $49 intro visit special price offer at our clinic for a personalized assessment and to discuss the associated costs.

Is SoftWave Therapy Expensive?

While SoftWave Therapy is a specialized treatment, it is important to consider the long-term benefits and potential savings associated with improved health and reduced reliance on other forms of pain management. Our clinic offers competitive pricing and flexible payment options to make SoftWave Therapy accessible to those seeking effective and lasting pain relief.

How Many Visits Do I Need?

Typically, on average, after 6-8 treatments, we should have the maximum stem cell production that will continue to migrate and repair the tissue over the next 8-12 weeks. Research shows a success rate for musculoskeletal disorders of 65-91%. This also depends on severity, frequency and chronicity of patient condition. We can discuss this in more depth on your Day 1 $49 intro visit.

How Long Does It Last?

Initially, frequent SoftWave sessions are recommended, typically, on average, weekly, for 6-8 weeks. Each session builds momentum similar to exercising or a fitness program to experience change that is lasting and sustainable. Following the 6-8 visits we have had patients tell us their results and pain relief has lasted weeks to months! This all depends on severity, frequency and chronicity of patient condition as well.
