SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Healing Solution with Decades of Proven Success
Shockwave therapy is one of the most remarkable medical advancements of the past several decades, offering non-invasive healing and pain relief across a wide range of conditions. Originating in the 1950s and evolving over time, shockwave therapy has become a standard of care for soft tissue injuries in Europe and is increasingly popular in the United States as well. Today, SoftWave therapy builds upon these foundational principles, providing a powerful, FDA-cleared option that is transforming how we approach recovery, pain management, and functional improvement.
How Long Has SoftWave Therapy Been Around?
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), was first developed in the 1950s. Researchers discovered that shockwaves could effectively disintegrate kidney stones in a non-invasive manner, leading to the first widespread clinical use of shockwave therapy for urinary stones (lithotripsy) in the 1980s. As clinicians recognized its potential beyond lithotripsy, ESWT began to expand into fields such as orthopedics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation.
Since the early days of treating kidney stones, shockwave therapy has become widely known for its ability to:
Promote Healing: Shockwaves stimulate tissue repair by enhancing blood flow, activating stem cells, and encouraging collagen production.
Provide Pain Relief: By interacting with pain receptors and reducing inflammation, shockwave therapy can significantly alleviate chronic pain.
Aid Functional Recovery: For patients with injuries or degeneration in bones and soft tissues, shockwave therapy offers a gentle, effective way to restore function.
SoftWave therapy, an advanced form of shockwave therapy, has been built on these principles to provide even deeper, more comfortable, and effective healing, offering a cutting-edge alternative for a wide variety of conditions.
Widespread Adoption of Shockwave Therapy
Over the years, shockwave therapy has gained traction across Europe, where it has become the standard of care for treating soft tissue injuries. In the United States, shockwave therapy has been a non-surgical treatment option for over 20 years. As more studies and clinical documentation have confirmed the effectiveness of shockwave therapy in promoting healing and pain relief, its applications have expanded into numerous medical fields, including:
Orthopedic and Sports Medicine: Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy: By stimulating cellular repair and blood flow, shockwave therapy can support patients recovering from injury or surgery.
Urology and Wound Care: In addition to soft tissue injuries, shockwave therapy has been effective in treating erectile dysfunction and accelerating wound healing.
SoftWave therapy has taken this foundation and advanced it further, using a patented parabolic reflector to produce defocused shockwaves that penetrate deeper into tissues, reaching damaged areas more effectively than traditional devices.
SoftWave Therapy: The Evolution of Shockwave Technology
SoftWave therapy represents the latest evolution in shockwave technology, enhancing comfort and treatment coverage. Unlike older shockwave devices, SoftWave therapy’s defocused shockwaves cover a broader treatment zone, allowing for deeper penetration with minimal discomfort. This makes SoftWave ideal for treating complex, chronic conditions that require a gentle yet effective approach to healing.
FDA-Cleared Uses for SoftWave Therapy:
SoftWave therapy has received FDA clearance for several specific applications, including:
Activation of Connective Tissue: Helping restore and strengthen connective tissues damaged by injury or overuse.
Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Ulcers: Improving blood flow to promote healing in slow-to-heal wounds.
Treatment of Acute Second-Degree Burns: SoftWave therapy reduces pain and accelerates recovery from burn injuries.
Improved Blood Supply: Enhancing circulation to support healing and reduce inflammation.
Temporary Pain Relief: Providing immediate pain relief, making it easier for patients to regain mobility and quality of life.
