How is Softwave Therapy Performed?

Softwave Therapy uses acoustic shockwaves to target specific areas of the body, stimulating tissue repair, increasing blood flow, and reducing inflammation. This process helps you heal faster and experience pain relief. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Initial Consultation: Our physical therapist reviews your condition and determines if Softwave Therapy is right for you.
  2. Preparation: We apply a special gel to the area to ensure effective transmission of acoustic waves.
  3. Treatment: Using a handheld device, the therapist delivers gentle acoustic waves to the targeted area, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
  4. Monitoring: We maintain open communication during your session to ensure the best results and make any needed adjustments.
  5. Follow-up: Ongoing sessions may be scheduled to support your full recovery and long-term pain relief.
