What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy delivers low-intensity acoustic shock waves that travel deep into painful or damaged tissue. When these waves reach the treatment area, they stimulate biological responses that support the body’s natural healing process:

• Improved blood flow to support oxygen and nutrient delivery
• Reduced swelling and inflammation around sensitive tissues
• Activation of the body’s stem cells to support repair and regeneration
• Support for healing in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints

Rather than masking symptoms, SoftWave Therapy focuses on improving tissue health and circulation to support meaningful, longer-term improvement.

How SoftWave Technology Works

SoftWave uses a patented electrohydraulic spark source paired with a parabolic reflector to create a wider and deeper treatment zone than traditional shockwave or ultrasound devices. This approach is commonly referred to as broad-focused shock wave therapy.

Acoustic waves travel through a water-filled chamber and are shaped into parallel waves that maintain their energy over distance. This design allows SoftWave to:

• Reach up to 7 cm wide and 12 cm deep in a single session
• Treat larger areas of tissue with fewer overall visits
• Provide biofeedback to help identify irritated or damaged tissue
• Support healing without creating unnecessary micro-trauma

These characteristics are why SoftWave Therapy is widely used for musculoskeletal pain, joint concerns, and mobility limitations.

 Conditions SoftWave Therapy Helps Address

SoftWave Therapy is commonly used as part of a non-invasive care approach for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Back pain and sciatica related to disc or nerve irritation
• Knee pain from arthritis, tendon concerns, or sports injuries
• Plantar fasciitis and other causes of heel and foot pain
• Shoulder pain and rotator cuff irritation
• Hip pain and ankle sprains
• Tendonitis, including tennis elbow and jumper’s knee
• Neck tension and certain headache patterns
• Sports injuries and overuse-related conditions

If pain, stiffness, or limited mobility have been holding you back, SoftWave Therapy may help support improved movement and comfort.

What to Expect During SoftWave Treatment

Your visit begins with a focused consultation through Revive SoftWave Therapy to better understand your symptoms, health history, and goals. An introductory SoftWave session is then performed to evaluate how your body responds and help guide a recommended care plan.

Most sessions last between 5 and 15 minutes. Many patients report changes such as reduced discomfort or improved mobility within the first 24 hours. Continued improvement often occurs over the next 8 to 12 weeks as tissue repair progresses at the cellular level.

The number of sessions recommended is based on your condition and individual response to care.
