What to Expect at Your First SoftWave Therapy Discovery Day Visit at Integrative Physical Health

Published May 2nd, 2025 by Integrative Physical Health

Experience Healing, Repair, and Regeneration—Starting Day One at Integrative Physical Health

If you’ve been struggling with pain, inflammation, or limited mobility—and you’re looking for a conservative, non-surgical, drug-free solution—your healing journey starts here.

At Integrative Physical Health in Wilmington, DE, Dr. Tim Ciolkosz and his team are proud to offer SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology—a revolutionary, science-backed therapy that activates the body’s natural healing processes. Your first visit, known as a SoftWave Discovery Day, is designed to help you feel educated, empowered, and hopeful about getting your life back.

Here’s what to expect during your first visit:


1. Meet and Greet with the Team

You’ll be warmly welcomed by our front desk team and introduced to Dr. Tim Ciolkosz and our skilled providers. We’ll walk you through the flow of your visit, answer any immediate questions, and make sure you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the very beginning.


2. Chief Complaint and Health History

Before any therapy is delivered, we’ll sit down to discuss your primary concern, including:

  • What pain or symptoms you're experiencing

  • How long it has been affecting your life

  • Your previous treatments and their outcomes

  • Your lifestyle, activities, and recovery goals

This thorough intake allows us to understand your health history, functional limitations, and what you hope to achieve through SoftWave Therapy.


3. SoftWave 101 Education: The Science of Regeneration

Next, we’ll provide a brief but powerful education session on SoftWave Therapy so you understand what makes this technology unique.

SoftWave is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, traveling at over 3,000 mph, to stimulate healing at the cellular and tissue level.

Scientific Benefits of SoftWave:

  • Modulates inflammation to reduce pain and swelling

  • Stimulates VEGF and neoangiogenesis for improved circulation and nutrient delivery

  • Activates eNOS for increased nitric oxide and blood flow

  • Promotes PCNA and cellular repair for tissue regeneration

  • Stimulates activation and migration of stem cells to the site of injury

  • Helps clear senescent (zombie) cells and promote a healthier cellular environment

  • Modulates toll-like receptors to calm overactive immune responses

This therapy doesn’t just reduce symptoms—it ignites regeneration and lays the foundation for long-term healing.


4. Intro to SoftWave: Mapping the Pain

Before delivering a full session, we conduct a SoftWave Mapping Session to locate your most inflamed and painful areas—what we call the "hot spots."

This process helps us:

  • Identify where your body is inflamed or injured

  • Evaluate your sensitivity and response to the acoustic waves

  • Determine if you're a candidate for SoftWave care

  • Pinpoint exact treatment areas for maximum therapeutic benefit

This targeted approach ensures that your treatment is personalized and precise.


5. First Full SoftWave Session: Where Healing Begins

Once we’ve mapped your key areas of concern, we move into your first full SoftWave session. The therapy is comfortable, effective, and non-invasive—with no injections, no medications, and no downtime.

What You Can Expect After the First Session:

  • Decreased pain and inflammation

  • Improved mobility and flexibility

  • Enhanced circulation to support healing

  • Activation of stem cells to begin the regeneration process

  • A healthier cellular environment for ongoing healing for weeks and months to come

This session sets the stage for real change—not just temporary relief. Most patients begin to feel results right away, with improvements continuing over time.


A 6–8 Week Journey to Recovery, Strength, and Mobility

At Integrative Physical Health, SoftWave Therapy isn’t a one-and-done quick fix. It’s a strategic care plan, typically delivered over 6 to 8 weeks, to stimulate progressive and sustainable healing. This allows your body to continue:

  • Repairing damaged tissues

  • Regenerating nerves, tendons, ligaments, and joints

  • Reducing inflammation at the root

  • Restoring pain-free function and mobility

Patients often tell us they've canceled injections, avoided surgeries, returned to sports, and reclaimed their quality of life after completing their SoftWave journey.


The Power of Conservative Healing Starts Here

If you’re looking for real answers and real results without drugs, surgery, or downtime—SoftWave Therapy at Integrative Physical Health is your solution.

Dr. Tim Ciolkosz and his experienced team have helped countless individuals heal from:

  • Chronic joint and muscle pain

  • Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery

  • Tendonitis, arthritis, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, and more

We are honored to walk alongside you as you heal, strengthen, and return to the activities you love most.
