What Happens After You Complete Your Initial SoftWave Therapy Care Program at Integrative Physical Health?

Published May 4th, 2025 by Integrative Physical Health

Continued Healing, Longevity, and Personalized Next Steps at Integrative Physical Health

Completing your initial SoftWave Therapy care plan at Integrative Physical Health is a major step toward healing, relief, and a better quality of life. But what many patients are surprised to learn is this:

**The healing process doesn’t stop after your last session—**it’s only just beginning.

Thanks to the science-backed regenerative power of SoftWave Therapy, your body continues to repair, rebuild, and restore tissue long after the program ends. So what should you expect next? Here’s a complete breakdown of what happens after your care plan is complete—and how to sustain your results moving forward.


1. Continued Healing, Repair, and Regeneration

SoftWave Therapy isn’t just about reducing symptoms—it’s about stimulating deep biological regeneration. And that regeneration continues well beyond the last visit of your initial program.

According to research:

Stem cell activity remains elevated for up to 12 weeks after your final SoftWave session.

That means the foundation laid during your 6–8 week care plan sets off a powerful cascade of cellular healing that continues to:

  • Support joint repair and cartilage remodeling

  • Improve tendon and ligament strength

  • Enhance nerve regeneration and function

  • Decrease inflammation and pain signals

  • Restore a healthier cellular environment for long-term recovery

Many of our patients report ongoing improvements in mobility, strength, pain levels, and function weeks—and even months—after their final SoftWave session.


2. How Long Will the Results Last?

The longevity of your results depends on a combination of individual health factors and lifestyle choices. While many patients experience long-term relief and sustained improvement, others may benefit from periodic “tune-up” sessions depending on their condition and goals.

Factors That Influence Long-Term Results:

  • Severity of the initial condition

  • Medical history and underlying health issues

  • Occupation and physical demands

  • Level of inflammation and chronic pain

  • Daily habits, exercise routines, and nutrition

  • Ongoing exposure to repetitive stress or strain

The more consistently you support your health and mobility with proper movement, rest, and wellness strategies, the longer your results may last.


3. Do You Need SoftWave Tune-Ups?

SoftWave Tune-Ups—or “boost” sessions—are a proactive way to:

  • Continue the regenerative momentum

  • Reduce inflammatory flare-ups

  • Support your body's natural stem cell activity

  • Maintain joint function, flexibility, and circulation

You may benefit from periodic tune-ups if:

  • You want to avoid future surgeries

  • You’re seeking a natural alternative to steroid injections

  • You’re aiming to reduce or stop pain medications

  • You’re a competitive athlete who puts their body under constant stress

  • You live with moderate-to-severe arthritis

  • You experience frequent inflammation or chronic pain

Many of our patients use tune-up sessions as a wellness tool to stay ahead of pain, support healing, and extend their results—especially during active seasons or periods of high stress.


4. How Often Should I Get Tune-Ups?

There’s no one-size-fits-all recommendation. At Integrative Physical Health, your SoftWave aftercare is personalized to your body, goals, and lifestyle.

General Guidelines:

  • Once every 4 weeks – Ideal for patients managing chronic inflammation or high physical demands (like athletes or labor-intensive workers)

  • Every 3–4 months – Suitable for wellness-minded patients who want to maintain progress and prevent regression

  • As needed – Some patients feel great for extended periods and return only when symptoms begin to return

Whatever your path, Dr. Tim Ciolkosz and his team are here to help guide you. Whether it’s creating a tune-up schedule, integrating your care with other therapies, or offering wellness advice, their mission is to support your long-term health, recovery, and quality of life.


Your Journey Doesn’t End—It Evolves

At Integrative Physical Health, we believe healing is not a moment—it’s a process. And with SoftWave Therapy, that process continues to work long after your initial care plan ends.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing arthritis, or looking to stay ahead of chronic pain, we're here to help you:

  • Feel better

  • Move better

  • Live better—naturally
