What is SoftWave therapy?

SoftWave therapy is a type of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). This noninvasive, regenerative treatment uses electrohydraulic energy to create acoustic shockwaves that trigger the body’s natural healing processes.

SoftWave technology delivers acoustic shockwaves into the body to support the regeneration of damaged muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues by encouraging new stem cell growth. Treatment also enhances blood circulation in the targeted area to reduce inflammation and pain, giving the body a chance to heal.

VIP Health Family Clinic offers in-office SoftWave therapy sessions for adults. Annysue and the medical team use advanced SoftWave technology to address a variety of musculoskeletal conditions without the need for downtime.  

The team customizes a care plan to your needs to achieve optimal, lasting results. They focus on easing pain and other symptoms, so you can reduce your reliance on medications and avoid surgery or other invasive treatments.

Am I a candidate for SoftWave therapy?

You may be a candidate for SoftWave therapy if you have persistent pain or mobility issues that stem from soft tissue conditions like:

• Tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Rotator cuff tears
• Muscle sprains
• Ligament strains

SoftWave therapy is beneficial for adults with age-related musculoskeletal injuries or degenerative conditions. The team also uses this noninvasive therapy to address sports injuries in athletes.

The VIP Health Family Clinic team can also use SoftWave technology to stimulate faster, more efficient healing of burns, diabetic foot ulcers, and other open wounds.

How does SoftWave therapy work?

SoftWave technology uses broad-focused, parallel waves of acoustic shockwave energy to penetrate deep skin tissues. This energy triggers a regenerative response in the body, sending more blood to the treatment area and encouraging new cell production to heal damaged tissues.

SoftWave treatments are noninvasive and typically take less than 15 minutes to complete. You can go back to your usual activities without any downtime immediately after your session.

As new cells develop and inflammation decreases, you may notice less pain and improved mobility in the treatment area within a few weeks of your first SoftWave session. You might need additional sessions to achieve optimal results based on the condition you’re treating.
