Softwave Therapy in St Simons Island

Frequently Asked Questions​​

 

What is Softwave therapy?

​

Softwave is a tissue regeneration technology that uses broad-focused electrohydraulic shock waves to penetrate deeper tissue layers, activating the body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level. The therapy stimulates circulation, promotes new blood vessel formation, and triggers the release of growth factors—supporting true tissue regeneration rather than just symptom relief.

​

How does it work?

​​

Softwave’s electrohydraulic shockwaves convert mechanical energy into biological activity, setting off a chain reaction that rapidly reduces inflammation, modulates pain, and triggers the release and recruitment of stem cells. This supports true tissue regeneration, repairing damaged structures, improving circulation, and addressing the root cause of pain for long-term recovery.

​

How fast does it work?

 

​​​Patient's typically experience 60-75% reduction in pain, improved circulation, and improved range of motion immediately following the first treatment. Because Softwave therapy stimulates long-term biological changes like new blood vessel growth, stem cell activation, and reduced inflammation, it has a researched timeline for tissue repair and regeneration. 

​

Is it safe and are there any side effects?

​

Softwave therapy is generally very well tolerated. Unlike other shockwave devices, it does not cause microtrauma to tissues. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as slight redness, pain, or soreness in the treated area. These usually resolve within a few hours. Because Softwave stimulates the body’s natural healing processes without drugs, injections, or surgery, it avoids the risks associated with more invasive treatments.
