WHAT IS SOFTWAVE?
SoftWave is a medical device that regenerates tissue.
Our technology uses shock waves to activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
SoftWave causes cell membrane permeability through its shockwave's shearing, compressive, and tensile loads. Your body converts these mechanical forces into biochemical signals, a process known as mechanotransduction. The signals then initiate biochemical processes in your body. The specific ones that SoftWave induces include:
​​
​​​​
1. Pain Relief
2. Inflammation Modulation
3. Creation of New Blood Vessels
4. Stem Cell Activation & Recruitment

WHAT DOES A TREATMENT LOOK LIKE?
The procedure averages 5-10 minutes but may be longer depending on treatment area and condition. A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated. The applicator produces pulses as the technician moves around the treatment area. During therapy, communication with the technician is necessary to identify treatment areas and monitor progress.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Safe
Reduces pain
Fast treatment times
Accelerates healing
No surgery
No drugs
No needles
No downtime
No side effects
No anesthesia
WHAT ARE SHOCK WAVES?
SoftWave is a type of shock wave. And shock waves are created by means of a high-energy electrical discharge in water. The voltage is discharged between the opposing tips of an electrode. The arcing or spark gap causes an equalization of voltage between the two tips of the electrode whereby a hot plasma bubble is created. This bubble explodes in all directions, compresses the surrounding water, and generates a pressure > 10 MPa within only a few nanoseconds (10-9 ns). What makes SoftWave unique is it's patented parabolic reflector allowing shock waves to penetrate deeper & wider than any other shock wave.
Despite the shockwave traveling 5 times faster (3355mph) in water than in air (767 mph), it does not cause microtrauma.
WHERE DID SHOCK WAVES
COME FROM?
Since the 1950's Shockwaves have been used in medicine, originally for lithotripsy (dissolving kidney stones). But over time, scientists were able to modify the technology and produce new shockwave devices that stimulated tissue regeneration.
​
DISINTEGRATION REGENERATION
​
And now, over 70 years later, we are using the best shock wave device on the planet (for regenerative purposes).
RESEARCHED, TRUSTED, EFFECTIVE
​SoftWave is used at leading national and international research and medical centers as well as professional sport organizations including: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA, PGA, USGA, USATF, WNBA, Premier League, and UFC.
​
FDA 510(k) cleared for:
-
Activation of connective tissue
-
Treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers
-
Treatment of acute second-degree burns
-
​Improved blood supply
"I use it as part of my post operative regime as well as players will use before play, during half time and after for quicker recovery. From plantar fasciitis and tendinitis to stress fractures for bone healing, it works. And, it’s a more comfortable option that patients appreciate."
-Dr. Martin O’Malley Orthopedic Surgeon at HSS | Team Orthopedist for the Brooklyn Nets, New Jersey Devils and NY Giants treating hundreds of professional athletes with SoftWave
what makes softwave special?
It is an electrohydraulic shockwave with a parabolic reflector that has no harmful side effects and treats orthopedic injuries, neuropathy urological disorders, certain aesthetics, non-healing wounds.
​
We call this shockwave "SoftWave Therapy", because it regenerates soft tissue.
​
Treating pain pathologies with electrohydraulic waves, or true shockwaves, delivers better outcomes with fewer treatments and pulses at lower energy levels than other shockwave devices. The downregulation of the inflammatory response is nearly immediate as is also the accompanying elimination of pain which is what most patients recognize and appreciate in the short term but should not be confused with long term healing and remodeling.
​
Beginning with the first treatment and continuing with each subsequent treatment the shockwaves are triggering the migration of stem cells to the area to further repair damaged tissue over a 12 week period.
​
While short term results are realized during the first 30 days, complete treatment outcomes should be evaluated after stem cells have completed their work more than 4 months from the 1st treatment.
