Advanced SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave therapy utilizes acoustic waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions and is marketed as an advanced form of shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy, including SoftWave therapy, has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for certain medical applications. The FDA clearance typically indicates that the device has demonstrated safety and efficacy for specific indications through clinical trials or other forms of evidence.
Treatment Principle
SoftWave therapy involves the use of acoustic waves to deliver mechanical energy to targeted tissues in the body. These acoustic waves are generated externally and focused on the area requiring treatment. The mechanical energy from the waves can stimulate tissue regeneration, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.
Indications
- Tendinopathies (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder
- Certain bone fractures
- Erectile dysfunction
- Other urological conditions
FDA Clearance
SoftWave therapy devices have received FDA clearance for specific medical indications. The clearance indicates that the devices have met the FDA’s standards for safety and effectiveness for those indications. The specific indications for which SoftWave therapy is cleared may vary depending on the manufacturer and the model of the device.
Clinical Evidence
The effectiveness of SoftWave therapy, as with other forms of shockwave therapy, is supported by clinical studies and evidence. Clinical trials and research studies have evaluated its efficacy in various conditions, although the strength of evidence may vary depending on the specific condition being treated.
Professional Administration
SoftWave therapy should be administered by qualified healthcare professionals who are trained in the use of the technology and familiar with the specific protocols for different conditions. It’s important for patients to consult with their healthcare providers to determine whether SoftWave therapy or any form of shockwave therapy is suitable for their condition and to discuss the potential risks and benefits. Additionally, patients should ensure that any device used for therapy has received FDA clearance for the intended use.
How Does It Work?
Upon delivery, SoftWave triggers a cellular response that activates the body’s natural healing process. Patients experience the transformative benefits, including:
- Increased blood supply
- Promotion of angiogenesis
- Modulation of inflammation
- Activation of resident stem cells
- Restoration of tissue elasticity
- Endogenous growth factor activation
Patented Applicator Delivering a True Shockwave
SoftWave’s patented parabolic reflector applicator design generates a primary and secondary wave that spreads energy to a large area of both superficial and deep tissue. The flexible elastic membrane adapts optimally to the treatment area and solicits a biological response without causing microtrauma. SoftWave’s device penetrates a 7cm x 12cm area with a TRUE SHOCK WAVE.
Understanding Neuropathy
Stabbing pain, tingling, and numbness in your feet are clear signs of low blood flow in nerve endings. Nerves require oxygen to function correctly, which is delivered through the bloodstream. When there is low blood flow to the nerve endings, nerves don’t get enough oxygen, causing damage and affecting functionality, leading to pain, tingling, and numbness.
Stages of Neuropathy
Neuropathy progresses through three stages:
- Occasional tingling (“pins and needles”)
- Random burning pain (“walking on hot coal”)
- Numbness, leading to a loss of sensation
Reversing Neuropathy
The key to reversing neuropathy is increasing blood flow to the nerves. Traditional methods like moving around more or wearing compression socks target larger veins, not the tiny blood vessels surrounding nerves. Shockwave therapy uses single pulses of energy that stimulate these small blood vessels, restoring blood flow and allowing nerves to regenerate.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy increases blood flow and promotes natural healing at the cellular level. This technology sends painless sound waves deep into the tissue of the affected area, targeting damaged muscles and nerves. Originally used by Olympic athletes, this treatment is now available to the public and has proven effective for neuropathy sufferers.
Success Stories
A grandfather, who was told he would never walk normally again, experienced nerve regeneration and now plays soccer with his grandson. After six years of foot pain, Karen found relief in just two weeks with shockwave therapy, allowing her to resume normal activities pain-free.
Live Pain-Free
Shockwave therapy has helped thousands of people with neuropathy live pain-free. Imagine waking up without nagging foot pain and being able to enjoy everyday activities again. This can all be possible with Shockwave therapy.
