What Is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive form of extracorporeal shockwave therapy that uses acoustic waves delivered into targeted areas of musculoskeletal tissue.
SoftWave uses electrohydraulic acoustic-wave technology. Although patients may encounter terms such as shockwave therapy, acoustic wave therapy, ESWT, radial shockwave, and focused shockwave when researching treatment, these technologies are not necessarily identical and may use different methods of producing and delivering acoustic energy.
At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center, we specifically provide SoftWave Therapy.
Treatment recommendations are based on the individual patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, examination findings, and treatment goals.
Learn more about the technology on our main SoftWave Therapy page.
Why Broomall Patients Consider SoftWave Therapy
Patients frequently begin researching SoftWave or shockwave therapy because they are looking for a conservative option for a persistent musculoskeletal problem.
Some have experienced symptoms for months or years. Others may have recurring problems that interfere with exercise, walking, work, sports, or normal daily activities.
Depending on the condition, SoftWave Therapy may be considered for patients seeking a treatment option that:
- Is non-invasive
- Does not require injections
- Does not require surgery
- Can be performed in the office
- Requires no anesthesia
- May be incorporated into a broader conservative treatment plan
- Allows patients to continue many normal activities during care
SoftWave Therapy is not appropriate for every patient or every condition. An evaluation helps determine whether it should be considered as part of your treatment plan.
Conditions We Evaluate for SoftWave Therapy Near Broomall
SoftWave Therapy may be considered for selected musculoskeletal and soft-tissue conditions.
Conditions we commonly evaluate include:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Knee pain
- Shoulder pain
- Tendon injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Hip pain
- Chronic joint pain
- Muscle and soft-tissue injuries
- Sports-related injuries
- Certain arthritis-related musculoskeletal complaints
- Selected back-pain conditions
Whether SoftWave Therapy is appropriate depends on the underlying cause of your symptoms.
For example, someone with plantar fasciitis or a chronic tendon problem may require a different treatment approach than someone whose symptoms are caused primarily by a spinal disc or nerve-related condition.
That is why treatment begins with an evaluation rather than automatically recommending the same treatment to every patient.
SoftWave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common reason patients investigate shockwave and acoustic-wave treatments.
Symptoms commonly include heel pain when first getting out of bed, discomfort after prolonged standing, or pain that becomes worse with walking, running, or other weight-bearing activities.
For selected patients with persistent plantar fasciitis, SoftWave Therapy may be considered as part of a conservative treatment plan.

SoftWave Therapy for Knee Pain
Knee pain can develop from many different causes involving joints, tendons, muscles, and surrounding tissues.
Depending on the diagnosis, SoftWave Therapy may be considered for selected musculoskeletal knee conditions.
Because knee pain can also result from problems that require a different treatment approach, we evaluate the cause before recommending SoftWave Therapy.
Learn more about our SoftWave Therapy for knee pain and arthritis.
SoftWave Therapy for Shoulder Pain
Shoulder problems may involve tendons, muscles, joints, and other surrounding tissues.
Patients may experience pain when reaching overhead, lifting, exercising, sleeping on the affected shoulder, or performing repetitive activities.
For selected soft-tissue and tendon-related shoulder conditions, SoftWave Therapy may be considered after an appropriate examination.
SoftWave Therapy for Tendon and Sports Injuries
Persistent tendon problems can interfere with sports, exercise, work, and normal daily activities.
SoftWave Therapy may be considered for selected tendon and soft-tissue problems involving areas such as the:
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Knee
- Hip
- Foot
- Ankle
Athletes and active adults from Broomall may also seek treatment for persistent musculoskeletal problems that have not responded adequately to rest or activity modification.
The appropriate treatment depends on the specific tissue involved and the underlying diagnosis.
SoftWave Therapy for Back Pain
Some patients researching SoftWave Therapy also experience back pain.
SoftWave Therapy may be considered when appropriate soft-tissue or musculoskeletal factors are contributing to symptoms. However, not every back-pain condition is primarily a soft-tissue problem.
Disc-related pain, sciatica, nerve irritation, joint dysfunction, and other causes may require different conservative treatment approaches.
Patients whose primary concern is back pain can visit our Back Pain Chiropractor in Upper Darby page.
SoftWave Therapy vs. Other Shockwave Treatments
People searching online for treatment near Broomall may encounter several terms, including:
- SoftWave Therapy
- Shockwave therapy
- Extracorporeal shockwave therapy
- ESWT
- Acoustic wave therapy
- Radial shockwave therapy
- Focused shockwave therapy
These terms should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
Different systems generate and deliver acoustic energy differently. SoftWave uses electrohydraulic acoustic-wave technology.
At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center, the technology offered is SoftWave Therapy. During your evaluation, we’ll explain the treatment we provide and whether it may be appropriate for your condition.
What to Expect During SoftWave Therapy
Your first step is an evaluation.
We’ll discuss:
- Where your symptoms are located
- How long you’ve had the problem
- How the condition began
- Activities that aggravate your symptoms
- Previous treatment
- Relevant health history
- Current functional limitations
An examination is then performed based on your particular complaint.
If SoftWave Therapy is appropriate, we’ll explain the treatment process, expected treatment area, recommended frequency, and realistic goals based on your individual condition.
Treatment is performed at our Upper Darby office.
Can SoftWave Therapy Be Combined With Chiropractic Care?
Yes, when clinically appropriate, but the two treatments have different purposes.
SoftWave Therapy may be used for selected musculoskeletal and soft-tissue conditions, while chiropractic care primarily focuses on joint movement, mechanical function, mobility, and related musculoskeletal problems.
Some patients may be candidates for one treatment, while others may benefit from a treatment plan involving more than one conservative approach.
Patients whose primary interest is chiropractic treatment should visit our Broomall Chiropractor page for detailed information about chiropractic care near Broomall.
Research on Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been studied for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly certain chronic tendon and soft-tissue disorders.
Research varies depending on the specific diagnosis, treatment technology, protocol, and patient population. Therefore, research involving one type of shockwave treatment or one condition should not automatically be applied to every patient or every SoftWave treatment.
For additional information about extracorporeal shockwave therapy research, visit PubMed.
Treatment recommendations at Everybody’s Chiropractic Center are based on the individual patient’s examination findings and clinical condition.
