Experience the Future of Pain Management at Softwave of Solana Beach

SoftWave therapy treats an array of conditions, injuries and symptoms, including:

• Joint and muscle pain like knee, shoulder, and lower back pain

• Injuries like plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, and jumpers knee

• Orthopedic conditions like carpal tunnel, meniscus tears, and soft tissue injuries

• Ulcers, wounds, burns

• Neuropathy

• Post-surgical healing

If you are a candidate for treatment, SoftWave therapy can provide both immediate and long-lasting results. After one SoftWave session, patients typically experience up to 80% reduction in pain and improvement in mobility, in the first session. In order to experience the full effect and lasting results a patient usually needs 8-12 sessions.

SoftWave Therapy is a fast and convenient non-invasive procedure that usually lasts 10-20 minutes, with no downtime required for recovery. First, ultrasound gel is applied, then the SoftWave device is gently placed on the affected area to deliver shockwaves. Most patients feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation, while some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort. The use of anesthesia or numbing agents is not necessary. Effective communication with the provider during treatment can help identify treatment hotspots and track progress.

SoftWave therapy is generally safe after surgery, depending on the type of surgery performed. In fact, it is commonly used to accelerate healing and post-surgical rehabilitation.

Side effects from SoftWave therapy are minimal and non-restrictive. SoftWave does not cause bruising or swelling, although some patients may experience slight redness and soreness that typically subsides within one to two days. While recovery downtime is not usually needed, we recommend avoiding high-impact movements or exercise for the first 24-48 hours.
