SoftWave Therapy for Knee Arthritis in Upper Darby
Introducing Softwave Therapy: A New Era in Pain Relief
Living with knee arthritis can make walking, climbing stairs, exercising, and everyday activities more difficult. SoftWave Therapy for knee arthritis is a non-invasive treatment option that some patients consider as part of a conservative plan to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support function.
Backed by clinical research and already trusted by top professional sports organizations, Softwave Therapy is helping people of all ages regain mobility and get back to doing the things they love — without surgery or drugs.
How Softwave Therapy Works
Wave Therapy uses acoustic wave technology to deliver mechanical energy into targeted tissues. Depending on the condition being treated, this may help support circulation, the body’s natural healing response, and improved function.
SoftWave TRT devices have received FDA 510(k) clearances for specific medical uses. That is different from saying SoftWave is “FDA-approved for knee arthritis.” For a full explanation, read our Is SoftWave TRT FDA Approved? article. FDA records list the SoftWave OW100S device under the 510(k) clearance pathway.

SoftWave Therapy and Sports Medicine
Shock wave therapies are used in sports medicine and rehabilitation settings because they are non-invasive and may be incorporated into treatment plans for certain musculoskeletal conditions.
For patients with knee pain, the goal is not simply to “speed recovery,” but to evaluate the specific cause of the symptoms and determine whether SoftWave Therapy is appropriate as part of a broader conservative care plan.

SoftWave Therapy vs. Other Knee Pain Treatments
Knee arthritis can be treated in several ways depending on the severity of the condition, the patient’s overall health, and how much the symptoms affect daily life.
Conservative treatment options may include:
- Activity modification
- Therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation
- Chiropractic care
- Anti-inflammatory medication when appropriate
- Injections
- SoftWave Therapy
- Surgical consultation when conservative care is no longer providing enough relief
SoftWave Therapy is non-invasive and does not require incisions, anesthesia, or a hospital stay. However, it is not a replacement for every type of treatment or for knee replacement surgery when surgery is medically necessary.
For patients who want to explore conservative care first, SoftWave Therapy may be considered as part of a broader treatment plan based on examination findings and individual goals.
