SoftWave Therapy (also called Tissue Regeneration Technology) is a breakthrough treatment that uses broad-focused electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Originally developed in Germany, SoftWave works through a process called mechanotransduction — where sound waves convert mechanical energy into a biological healing signal.

This process activates resident stem cells, increases blood flow via neoangiogenesis, reduces inflammation, and repairs tissue at the cellular level — all without drugs, injections, or surgery.

No! Many of our existing Reform Chiropractic patients are experiencing amazing results combining SoftWave therapy and Chiropractic care but you can come just for SoftWave TRT therapy!

Some people will notice immediate relief, but the vast majority of people will notice after 3-4 weeks. This is how long it takes for tissue to actually start to heal!

"Treatment is so easy and it works! I was walking out of the clinic and realized I already felt better."

Typically, after the third treatment, we should see a 60-75% reduction in pain. On average after eight treatments, we should have the maximum stem cell production that will continue to migrate and repair the tissue over the next 8-12 weeks. Research shows a success rate for musculoskeletal disorders of 65-91%.

For the next 15-20 hours, you should notice the most decrease in pain and swelling, as well as an increase in range of motion and circulation.

The TRUE healing will be 8-12 weeks from now when the maximum amount of stem cells have been produced and migrated to the treated area.

*Depending on your specific condition(s) and health goals we can discuss at your Day 1 consultation, history and examination

SoftWave works well for many people with chronic or nagging pain, tightness, or slow-healing injuries. During your visit we’ll confirm the source of your pain and make sure there are no reasons to avoid treatment—then we’ll build a plan to help you meet your goals!

Treatments are quick! Generally taking 15 minutes, depending upon set up and positioning.

Yes. SoftWave is FDA-cleared and has been safely used worldwide for years in orthopedics, sports medicine, and regenerative medicine. Treatments are non-invasive, with no needles, anesthesia, or downtime required. Most patients only feel mild sensation during the session, which is a sign the acoustic waves are stimulating the healing response.

SoftWave is effective for a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration (knees, hips, shoulders, spine)

Tendinitis and bursitis

Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles pain

Meniscus tears and labral tears

Rotator cuff injuries and shoulder pain

Disc herniations, back pain, sciatica and nerve pain

Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery

& MORE!

Unlike cortisone injections, gels, or surgical procedures that may mask symptoms or involve long recovery times, SoftWave actually stimulates repair and regeneration of tissues and provides longer natural pain relief and improved mobility. By activating resident stem cells, improving circulation via neoangiogenesis, and breaking down scar tissue and adhesions around the joint and muscles, SoftWave addresses the root cause instead of just covering up pain.

Ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area, and the SoftWave device is placed on the tissue, joint or muscle. As the acoustic waves interact with damaged, inflamed tissue or arthritic joints, you may feel a mild to moderate sensation — which is a positive indicator of where healing is needed most. Energy and frequency is adjustable and customizable to each unique case and patient tolerance. Specific conditions and individuals require more or less waves, frequency and energy to get the best healing response. Each session typically lasts 10–15 minutes, with no downtime afterward.

Most patients experience:

Immediate reduction in pain or stiffness

Improved mobility and range of motion

Long-term repair of injured tissue

Faster recovery from sports or lifestyle injuries

Reduced inflammation and improved circulation

Patients often continue to notice improvements for weeks to months after their last session thanks to the ongoing resident stem cell activation and vascular repair.

SoftWave Therapy is safe for adults of all ages — from athletes recovering from injuries to older adults managing arthritis or chronic pain. It is especially valuable for patients who want to avoid medications, cortisone injections, or surgery.

-Do not take anti-inflammatories (e.g. ibuprofen) unless prescribed.

-Do your best to avoid activities or motions that you know cause irritation to the treatment area.

-Do not apply ice to any area treated with SoftWave (heat and topical ointments are OK to use)
