What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is an advanced shockwave technology from Germany that utilizes electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves traveling over 3,000 miles per hour to stimulate deep biological healing at the cellular and tissue level.

It is FDA-cleared, safe, and pain-free. Patients commonly report improvement in pain, swelling, stiffness, and function after just a few sessions. And it all happens without drugs, injections, or invasive surgeries.


How SoftWave Therapy Works for Knee Pain and Injuries

SoftWave Therapy triggers a biological healing response in damaged knee structures through:

  • Modulation of inflammation to reduce swelling and stiffness

  • VEGF and angiogenesis to stimulate new blood vessel formation and improve nutrient delivery

  • eNOS and BMP activation to promote soft tissue and cartilage repair

  • Stem cell activation and migration to regenerate damaged ligaments, tendons, and cartilage

  • Neovascularization and PCNA upregulation to boost long-term healing and mobility

This allows the body to naturally heal previously stubborn or degenerative knee conditions, offering real, lasting relief and restoration.
