SoftWave TRT
Tissue Regeneration
Built to be the Gold Standard in regenerative care—electrohydraulic shockwaves delivered with precision, power, and proof.
What is SoftWave TRT?
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy designed to stimulate your body's natural healing capabilities. Unlike traditional treatments that merely mask pain with medication or require invasive surgical procedures, SoftWave addresses the root cause of your discomfort by promoting cellular repair and regeneration at the microscopic level.
This advanced therapy utilizes patented electrohydraulic shockwaves—also known as acoustic waves—to penetrate deep into damaged tissues. These unfocused waves cover a broad area, ensuring that the entire injured region receives the therapeutic benefits. SoftWave is FDA-cleared and has been widely adopted by top medical professionals, professional sports teams, and premier clinics across the country.
By triggering a biological response that reduces inflammation, increases blood flow, and recruits resident stem cells to the area of injury, SoftWave TRT helps patients achieve rapid pain relief and long-term healing. It is a safe, effective, and painless alternative for those suffering from acute injuries or chronic pain conditions.
How SoftWave Therapy Works
The science behind SoftWave TRT is rooted in its unique method of delivering acoustic waves to damaged tissue. Here is a step-by-step look at how the technology facilitates healing:
Acoustic Wave Delivery
The SoftWave device generates electrohydraulic shockwaves that travel through the skin and into the underlying tissue. Because the waves are unfocused, they spread out over a large area, minimizing discomfort while maximizing the treatment zone.
Cellular Activation
As the acoustic waves pass through the tissue, they create a physical force that "tricks" the body into thinking an injury has occurred, without actually causing any damage. This stimulates a profound biological response at the cellular level.
Angiogenesis & Blood Flow
The therapy promotes angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels. This significantly increases blood flow to the damaged area, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients required for tissue repair.
Stem Cell Recruitment
Perhaps the most powerful effect of SoftWave TRT is the activation and recruitment of resident stem cells. These cells migrate to the treated area to replace damaged tissue, accelerating the healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bone.
Who is SoftWave For?
Ideal Candidates
SoftWave TRT is highly effective for patients suffering from acute injuries, chronic pain, or degenerative conditions who want to avoid surgery and reduce their reliance on pain medications. It is commonly used to treat:
- Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs
- Knee Pain, Meniscus Tears, and Arthritis
- Shoulder Pain and Rotator Cuff Injuries
- Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow
- Neuropathy and Nerve Pain
- Lower Back and Neck Pain
Contraindications
While SoftWave is safe for most patients, there are certain situations where the treatment is not recommended. You may not be a candidate if you:
- Are currently pregnant (treatment over the abdomen/pelvis)
- Have a pacemaker or implanted electrical device in the treatment area
- Have active cancer or tumors in the treatment area
- Have a blood clotting disorder or are on heavy blood thinners
- Have an active infection in the treatment area
*A comprehensive consultation with our doctors will determine if SoftWave is the right choice for your specific health profile.
What to Expect During Your Session
Your comfort and understanding are our top priorities. Here is what a typical SoftWave TRT experience looks like at our clinic:
Duration
Each SoftWave session is remarkably quick, typically lasting only 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. It easily fits into a busy schedule.
What You'll Feel
A conductive gel is applied to the skin, and the applicator is gently moved over the area. You will hear a clicking sound and feel a mild, pulsing sensation. If we pass over damaged tissue, you may feel a slight ache or "zing," which helps us pinpoint the exact source of your pain.
Recommended Sessions
While many patients experience a noticeable reduction in pain after just one session, a full treatment protocol usually consists of 6 to 8 sessions over a few weeks to achieve maximum tissue regeneration and long-lasting results.
Recovery & Downtime
There is zero downtime required. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after your session. Some patients may experience slight redness or mild soreness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SoftWave TRT safe?
Yes, SoftWave TRT is incredibly safe. It is an FDA-cleared technology that has been used successfully for years with no known significant side effects. Because it is non-invasive and does not rely on medications or injections, the risks associated with traditional surgeries or long-term pharmaceutical use are completely eliminated.
How long until I see results?
Many patients experience a noticeable decrease in pain and an increase in mobility immediately following their very first session. However, the true regenerative effects—such as stem cell recruitment and tissue repair—take place over the following 8 to 12 weeks. Maximum results are typically seen a few months after completing the full treatment protocol.
Is SoftWave covered by insurance?
SoftWave TRT is considered an elective, cutting-edge regenerative therapy and is currently not covered by major medical insurance or Medicare. However, we believe in making this transformative care accessible. We offer competitive pricing, new patient specials for your initial consultation and first treatment, and flexible payment options.
Does the treatment hurt?
The treatment is generally not painful. You will feel a pulsing sensation during the procedure. If the applicator passes over an area of significant tissue damage or inflammation, you may feel a mild, deep ache or "zing." This is actually a positive sign, as it helps our doctors identify the exact location that needs healing. The intensity can always be adjusted to ensure your comfort.
How is SoftWave different from ultrasound or laser therapy?
While ultrasound and laser therapies are beneficial for superficial inflammation, SoftWave's electrohydraulic acoustic waves penetrate much deeper into the tissue (up to several inches). Furthermore, SoftWave is unique in its ability to physically stimulate the recruitment and activation of your body's own stem cells, leading to true tissue regeneration rather than just temporary symptom relief.
