What to Expect After Your First SoftWave Therapy Session at Revive SoftWave and Understanding the SoftWave Therapy Care Plan Journey

Starting SoftWave Therapy is an exciting step toward healing—but many patients wonder what happens after that first session. At Revive SoftWave Therapy, Dr. Timothy DelMedico and his team believe that understanding the healing process is key to achieving the best results.

SoftWave Therapy is not about quick fixes. It is about initiating real biological change that leads to long-term pain relief, improved mobility, and true tissue repair and regeneration.

Here’s what you can expect after your first SoftWave Therapy session and how the overall care plan works.

---

What Happens After Your First SoftWave Therapy Session?

Your first SoftWave Therapy session is designed to ignite the healing process. While every person responds differently, many patients begin noticing changes shortly after treatment.

Common Early Responses After the First Session

It is normal to experience:

• Decreased pain or pressure in the treated area

• Reduced inflammation or swelling

• Improved mobility or range of motion

• A feeling of looseness or improved movement

• Mild soreness or sensitivity in some cases

This initial response is a sign that SoftWave Therapy has activated biological healing pathways in your body.

---

What’s Happening Inside Your Body After Session One?

Even if changes feel subtle at first, powerful processes are occurring beneath the surface.

SoftWave Therapy stimulates:

• Improved blood flow and circulation

• Modulation of inflammation

• Activation of VEGF to promote angiogenesis

• Enhanced nitric oxide signaling (eNOS) for microcirculation

• Increased PCNA activity to support cellular repair

• Activation and migration of resident stem cells to injured tissues

• Improved immune signaling through toll-like receptors

These processes continue for days and weeks after your session—meaning healing does not stop when you leave the office.

---

Why Results Build Over Time (Not Overnight)

SoftWave Therapy works by changing the cellular environment so your body can heal itself. Tissue repair, collagen remodeling, nerve recovery, and joint regeneration all require time.

This is why SoftWave Therapy is delivered as a care plan, not a single treatment.

Think of it like:

• Strength training for healing tissues

• Progressive rehabilitation at the cellular level

• Building momentum for long-term results

Each session builds on the previous one.

Understanding the SoftWave Therapy Care Plan Journey

Most patients at Revive SoftWave Therapy follow a 6–12 week care plan, depending on the condition, severity, and goals.

Early Phase (Weeks 1–3): Igniting the Healing Response

• Reduced pain and inflammation

• Improved circulation

• Early mobility gains

• Activation of regenerative signaling

Middle Phase (Weeks 4–8): Tissue Repair and Regeneration

• Ongoing stem cell activation and migration

• Improved tissue strength and resilience

• Better joint and soft tissue function

• Decreased reliance on medications

Later Phase (Weeks 9–12): Stabilization and Long-Term Results

• Continued cellular regeneration

• Improved durability and movement quality

• Reduced flare-ups and setbacks

• Foundation for long-term healing and maintenance

Many patients continue to notice improvements weeks and months after completing their care plan.

Why Some Days Feel Better Than Others

Healing is not always linear. As tissues repair and inflammation is modulated, you may experience:

• Fluctuations in symptoms

• Periods of rapid improvement

• Temporary soreness as tissues remodel

This is a normal part of the regenerative process and something Dr. Tim and his team will guide you through.

---

How SoftWave Therapy Helps Avoid Injections and Surgery

One of the most common reasons patients choose SoftWave Therapy is to avoid:

• Steroid injections

• Repeated pain medications

• Surgical procedures

By addressing the root cause of pain—poor circulation, chronic inflammation, and impaired tissue healing—SoftWave Therapy creates a pathway to sustainable, long-term relief.

---

Your Role in the Healing Journey

Your results are enhanced by:

• Following your recommended care plan

• Staying consistent with visits

• Maintaining healthy movement and activity

• Supporting recovery with proper hydration, sleep, and nutrition

• Communicating openly with the care team

SoftWave Therapy works best as a partnership between your body and the care team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Your First SoftWave Therapy Session and Care Plan

What should I expect after my first SoftWave Therapy session?

After your first SoftWave Therapy session, many patients notice decreased pain, reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and a general feeling of looseness in the treated area. Some patients may experience mild soreness, which is a normal response as healing processes are activated.

---

Is it normal to feel sore after SoftWave Therapy?

Yes. Mild soreness or tenderness can occur after treatment and is typically a sign that the body’s healing and regenerative processes have been stimulated. This usually resolves within a short period of time.

---

How long does SoftWave Therapy take to work?

Some patients notice changes after the first session, while others experience gradual improvements over multiple visits. SoftWave Therapy works cumulatively, with healing and regeneration building over the course of the care plan and continuing for weeks and months afterward.

---

Why does SoftWave Therapy require a care plan?

SoftWave Therapy stimulates biological processes such as inflammation modulation, improved circulation, and stem cell activation. These processes take time. A structured care plan allows healing to build progressively, leading to longer-lasting and more sustainable results.

---

What is a typical SoftWave Therapy care plan?

Most patients follow a 6–12 week SoftWave Therapy care plan. This allows time for tissue repair, regeneration, and stabilization, while optimizing long-term pain relief, mobility, and function.

---

Can I resume normal activities after a SoftWave Therapy session?

Yes. You may continue with normal daily activities after treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous or high-impact activities immediately following a session to allow tissues time to heal and respond to treatment.

---

Should I avoid ice after SoftWave Therapy?

Yes. It is recommended to avoid icing the treated area for the first 48 hours following a SoftWave Therapy session. Ice can interfere with the body’s natural inflammatory and healing response that SoftWave Therapy is designed to stimulate.

---

Should I stay hydrated after SoftWave Therapy?

Yes. Staying well hydrated is very important after SoftWave Therapy. Proper hydration supports circulation, cellular repair, and the body’s natural healing processes.

---

Can I take pain medication after SoftWave Therapy?

If possible, minimizing anti-inflammatory medications may help support the healing process, as SoftWave Therapy relies on the body’s natural inflammatory response to initiate repair. Always follow guidance from Dr. Timothy DelMedico and your healthcare providers.

---

Why do results sometimes fluctuate during the care plan?

Healing is not always linear. As tissues repair and remodel, symptoms may fluctuate. This is a normal part of the regenerative process, and improvements often continue to build over time.

---

What is happening inside my body during the SoftWave Therapy care plan?

SoftWave Therapy improves blood flow, stimulates angiogenesis, modulates inflammation, increases cellular repair signals, and activates and migrates resident stem cells to damaged tissues. These processes continue between visits and after sessions.

---

How long do results continue after completing the care plan?

Research supports that stem cell activity remains elevated for up to 12 weeks after the final SoftWave Therapy session. Many patients continue to experience improvements weeks and months after completing their care plan.

---

Does red light therapy help enhance SoftWave Therapy results?

Yes. Red light therapy can help accelerate healing, support nerve and tissue repair, improve circulation, and enhance cellular energy production. It works synergistically with SoftWave Therapy.

---

Is red light therapy available at Revive SoftWave Therapy?

Yes. Red light therapy is available in-office at Revive SoftWave Therapy. Dr. Tim may also recommend take-home red light therapy units to support healing between visits. Ask Dr Tim at your next appointment!

---

How can I get the best results from my SoftWave Therapy care plan?

The best results come from staying consistent with your care plan, staying hydrated, avoiding ice for the first 48 hours after treatment, performing normal daily activities without overdoing it, allowing time for healing, and following guidance from Dr. Tim and his team.

---

Who can I contact if I have questions during my SoftWave Therapy journey?

Dr. Timothy DelMedico and the Revive SoftWave Therapy team are always available to answer questions, guide you through your care plan, and support your healing journey.
