Why Back Pain Isn’t Going Away on Its Own — And What to Do About It with SoftWave Therapy

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints in the U.S., and here in Rochester, NY, it affects countless individuals daily. Whether it’s from long hours at work, a sports injury, or a herniated disc, many people assume their back pain will “go away on its own.” The truth? For most, it doesn’t — and there’s a reason why.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness in North Chili, we see patients every day who have been struggling for months, even years, with persistent back pain. That’s where SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy comes in — a breakthrough treatment offering real relief and long-term healing.

Why Back Pain Persists

Inflammation and Scar Tissue

When your body experiences an injury or strain, inflammation is triggered. While inflammation is a natural part of healing, chronic inflammation often lingers, causing pain and stiffness. Scar tissue buildup in muscles, ligaments, or discs can also prevent full recovery.

Nerve Compression and Disc Issues

Bulging or herniated discs can put pressure on spinal nerves, leading to sciatica, nerve pain, or radiating discomfort down the legs. Without addressing the root cause, this cycle of pain and irritation rarely resolves on its own.

Poor Circulation and Cellular Damage

Healthy blood flow is critical for tissue repair. When circulation is limited in the back due to injury or degeneration, nutrients and oxygen can’t reach damaged tissues, slowing recovery and prolonging pain.

What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response at the cellular level. It’s trusted by top medical centers like the Cleveland Clinic, Stanford, and Mayo Clinic, as well as professional sports teams including the New York Yankees.

During your SoftWave Discovery Visit, we use a special applicator to scan for “hot spots” — areas of inflammation, nerve irritation, scar tissue, or degeneration. These spots provide biofeedback, letting us know exactly where your body needs attention.

The Science Behind Healing Back Pain

SoftWave Therapy works by triggering several biological responses, including:

• Mechanotransduction – mechanical stimulation turns into a healing cellular signal

• Stem Cell Activation – dormant stem cells are recruited to repair damaged tissues

• Angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) – improved blood flow for faster recovery

• Reduced Inflammation – shutting down pain signals from overactive cells

• Tissue Regeneration – repairing discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerves

This is why patients often notice immediate pain relief, with long-lasting healing that continues for weeks and months after treatment.

Conditions SoftWave Helps with Back Pain

SoftWave Therapy at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness is effective for:

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Sciatica and nerve compression

• Facet joint pain

• Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction

• Chronic low back pain and stiffness

• Muscle strain and ligament injuries

• Post-surgical recovery

How Many Visits Does It Take?

On average, most patients with back pain, sciatica, or disc issues require 6–12 sessions, usually scheduled weekly. Each session builds on the last — flushing inflammation, restoring blood flow, and promoting deep tissue repair.

For athletes or those with severe chronic conditions, we may recommend a more tailored frequency. Every care plan is customized to your specific condition and healing goals.

Why SoftWave Instead of Surgery or Injections?

Unlike injections, medications, or surgery, SoftWave Therapy:

• Targets the root cause instead of masking symptoms

• Stimulates real tissue repair without cutting or damaging structures

• Is non-drug and non-invasive, with no downtime or side effects

• Provides lasting results that continue well beyond the last session

Many of our patients at Camarata Chiropractic have even canceled scheduled surgeries and spine injections after seeing the results from SoftWave Therapy.
