Softwave treats acute and chronic pain

SoftWave therapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment. Some patients feel a mild tapping or pulsing on the skin, while others experience some discomfort in the treatment area. Some say it feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Your provider can adjust the intensity to tolerate. The level of discomfort may also depend on the amount of pain the patient is already experiencing. Most patients can tolerate for the duration of the treatment, which lasts on average 5-10 minutes.

SoftWave is a patented and FDA-cleared treatment that activates the body’s natural healing process. It is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free option for treating a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, inflammation, orthopedic conditions, and musculoskeletal injuries. 

Treatment usually lasts between 5-10 minutes and does not require anesthesia or numbing agents. Downtime for recovery after treatment is not typically needed. SoftWave is trusted by leading medical providers across the country, including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Shepherd’s Center, and more, as well as professional sports organizations including MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA, PGA, USGA USATF, WNBA, Premier League, and UFC.

Generally there are no side effects from SoftWave therapy and if there are, they are minimal and non-restrictive. SoftWave does not cause bruising or swelling, although some patients may experience slight redness and soreness that typically subsides within one to two days. While recovery downtime is not usually needed, we recommend avoiding high-impact movements or exercise for the first 24-48 hours.

SoftWave therapy is generally safe after surgery, depending on the type of surgery performed. In fact, it is commonly used to accelerate healing and post-surgical rehabilitation. Some doctors even use SoftWave in the operating room immediately after surgery, to activate the body’s healing process.

SoftWave therapy is not suitable for individuals who are pregnant, have a pacemaker, or have cancer. At your first appointment, the provider can further discuss any conditions that would impact your ability to receive therapy.

The procedure averages 5-10 minutes but may be longer depending on the treatment area and diagnosis. A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated. The applicator produces pulses as the clinician moves around the treatment area. During therapy, communication with the provider is necessary to identify treatment areas and monitor progress. 

If you are a candidate for treatment, SoftWave therapy can provide both immediate and long-lasting results. After one SoftWave session, patients typically experience a 20-50% reduction in pain and improvement in mobility, lasting from a few hours to several days. Some patients require multiple sessions before experiencing improvement. Unlike pain medications and injections, SoftWave treatment seeks to activate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level to deliver genuine and long-lasting results.

SoftWave therapy is not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance at this time.
