What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves delivered through a handheld applicator to a targeted area of the body.

The technology is designed to stimulate biological responses within muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other musculoskeletal tissues.

Unlike surgery, SoftWave Therapy does not require incisions. In addition, the treatment itself does not involve injections or anesthesia.

Because not every painful condition is appropriate for SoftWave Therapy, we first evaluate the patient before making recommendations.

Why Wynnewood Patients Choose SoftWave Therapy

Persistent musculoskeletal pain can affect walking, exercise, sports, work, sleep, and everyday activities. As a result, some patients begin researching conservative treatment options when symptoms continue to interfere with normal function.

Depending on the diagnosis and examination findings, SoftWave Therapy may be considered for:

Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Knee pain
Shoulder pain
Tennis elbow
Golfer’s elbow
Achilles tendon problems
Tendinitis and other tendon-related conditions
Certain sports and overuse injuries
Arthritis and chronic joint discomfort
Other appropriate soft-tissue and musculoskeletal conditions

Whether treatment is appropriate depends on the individual patient, diagnosis, and examination findings rather than the symptom alone.

SoftWave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and can make standing, walking, running, exercising, and working uncomfortable.

For appropriate patients with persistent plantar fascia symptoms, SoftWave Therapy may be considered as part of a conservative treatment plan.

SoftWave Therapy for Knee Pain

Knee pain may involve tendons, muscles, joints, or surrounding tissues. Arthritis, repetitive activity, sports, and overuse may also contribute to symptoms.

Because knee pain has several possible causes, we evaluate the affected area before determining whether SoftWave Therapy may be appropriate.

For more information, visit our Knee Pain Treatment page.

SoftWave Therapy for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain may develop from repetitive activity, sports, work, tendon problems, overuse, or other musculoskeletal conditions.

For certain conditions involving the shoulder and surrounding soft tissues, we may consider SoftWave Therapy as part of an individualized conservative treatment plan.

SoftWave Therapy for Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow

Tendon problems around the elbow can make gripping, lifting, exercising, playing sports, and performing repetitive activities uncomfortable.

After evaluating the source of the symptoms, we may consider SoftWave Therapy for certain tendon-related elbow conditions.

SoftWave Therapy for Tendon and Overuse Injuries

Tendon problems may develop from sports, exercise, occupational demands, repetitive activity, or long-term overuse.

Researchers have investigated acoustic-wave technologies for several tendon-related conditions. Therefore, patients with persistent symptoms may benefit from an evaluation to determine whether they are appropriate candidates for treatment.

The specific recommendation depends on the affected tissue, diagnosis, severity, duration of symptoms, and other individual factors.

SoftWave Therapy for Arthritis and Joint Pain

Arthritis and other chronic joint conditions may cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty with normal movement.

SoftWave Therapy does not reverse arthritis or restore damaged cartilage. However, for certain patients, we may consider it as part of a conservative treatment plan focused on symptoms and function.

Setting realistic expectations is an important part of determining whether treatment is appropriate for an individual patient.

How Does SoftWave Therapy Work?

During treatment, a clinician applies the SoftWave applicator to the targeted area. Next, the device delivers acoustic waves into the treatment region.

SoftWave technology is designed to stimulate biological responses associated with circulation and tissue-repair processes.

Researchers continue to study extracorporeal shock wave and acoustic-wave technologies for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. However, individual results vary, and research involving one condition or one type of shock-wave system should not automatically be applied to every patient.

SoftWave Therapy vs. Shock Wave Therapy

Patients searching for treatment near Wynnewood may encounter several terms, including:

SoftWave Therapy
Shock wave therapy
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy
ESWT
Acoustic-wave therapy
Radial shock wave therapy
Focused shock wave therapy

Although these technologies are related, they are not necessarily identical.

Different devices generate and deliver acoustic energy in different ways. At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center, we specifically provide SoftWave Therapy.

This distinction helps patients understand the technology available at our office rather than assuming every shock-wave device or treatment protocol is the same.

What Happens During a SoftWave Evaluation?

Before beginning treatment, we evaluate your condition to better understand the source of your symptoms and determine whether SoftWave Therapy may be appropriate.

Depending on your condition, the evaluation may include:

Review of your health history
Discussion of when symptoms began
Identification of activities that aggravate your symptoms
Examination of the affected area
Assessment of movement and function
Orthopedic testing when appropriate
Neurological testing when appropriate
Review of previous imaging or diagnostic studies when relevant
Discussion of previous treatments

After the evaluation, we explain our findings and answer your questions.

If SoftWave Therapy is appropriate, we also discuss the treatment process and realistic expectations based on your individual condition.

What to Expect During SoftWave Treatment

SoftWave treatments take place at our Upper Darby office.

First, we apply gel to the treatment area. Then, the clinician moves the SoftWave applicator across the targeted tissue while the device delivers acoustic waves.

The exact treatment location and approach depend on the condition being treated.

After treatment, many patients can return to normal daily activities. However, individual recommendations may vary depending on the patient and condition.

Is SoftWave Therapy Painful?

Most patients tolerate SoftWave Therapy well.

Sensitive or symptomatic areas may feel temporarily uncomfortable as the applicator passes over them. The sensation varies depending on the treatment location, condition, and individual patient.

Therefore, we communicate with patients throughout treatment and make appropriate adjustments when necessary.

How Many SoftWave Treatments Will I Need?

There is no single SoftWave treatment schedule appropriate for every patient.

Recommendations may depend on:

Your diagnosis
How long symptoms have been present
Severity of the condition
Location of the problem
Previous treatment
Functional limitations
Overall health
Response to treatment

Because every patient responds differently, we develop recommendations after evaluating the individual rather than automatically using the same treatment schedule for everyone.

Research on SoftWave and Shock Wave Therapy

Researchers have studied extracorporeal shock wave therapy for numerous orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions, including plantar fasciitis and several tendinopathies.

Evidence and expected outcomes vary according to the condition, technology, treatment protocol, and individual patient.

Patients interested in learning more can review published information through the National Institutes of Health and clinical information from the Mayo Clinic.

SoftWave Therapy vs. Chiropractic Care

SoftWave Therapy and chiropractic care serve different purposes.

SoftWave Therapy uses acoustic-wave technology directed toward targeted musculoskeletal tissues.

In contrast, chiropractic care primarily focuses on musculoskeletal evaluation, spinal and joint movement, mechanical dysfunction, and related conditions.

Some patients may be appropriate candidates for SoftWave Therapy, while others may primarily need chiropractic care. In certain situations, more than one conservative approach may be appropriate.
