SoftWave Therapy

How Does the Treatment Work?

The therapy works through four main mechanisms:

1. Improved Blood Circulation
Shock waves stimulate blood flow. This allows more oxygen and nutrients to reach the damaged tissues, accelerating the natural healing process.

2. Cellular Stimulation
Activates stem cells in the treated area, which helps generate new tissue. This also supports the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis).

3. Pain Relief
Shock waves can reduce pain by activating analgesic effects at the cellular level. For example, by influencing pain signaling pathways and reducing inflammatory mediators. In short: drug-free relief.

4. Breakdown of Calcium Deposits
In certain conditions (e.g., calcified tendonitis), shock waves can help break down abnormal calcium deposits. The body can then eliminate these deposits on its own.

Conditions Treated

SoftWave can help with:
- Tendon problems (such as Achilles tendonitis or tennis elbow)
- Joint pain
- Muscle injuries
- Chronic pain
- Sports injuries
- Collagen-related problems (such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
- Brain and nerve-related pain
- Poorly healing wounds

Treatment Step by Step

1. Preliminary Examination
During the intake interview, we assess whether the therapy is suitable. We then develop a personalized treatment plan.

2. Treatment Session
A session lasts 5-20 minutes, depending on the condition. We use a special conductive gel for the treatment technique. The treatment is painless; therefore, anesthesia is not necessary. The number of sessions required depends on the condition.

3. After the Treatment
After the treatment, you can immediately resume non-weight-bearing activities. You may notice a slight reaction (redness, warmth) at the treated area. Nothing to be alarmed about, your body will recover quickly.
