SoftWave™ Therapy

TRT is short for “Tissue Regeneration Technology” which is a state-of-the-art; non-invasive regenerative device that uses electro-hydraulically produced sound waves or acoustic waves to trigger a strong healing effect in the body. SoftWave™ therapy stimulates your body’s natural response for self-repair.

Inside of the applicator head, SoftWaves™ are created through the use of an electrode contained within a soft latex dome filled with water. When charged with electricity, the electrode creates a spark under the water. This spark creates a hot bubble of gas that expands into the surrounding water and produces the SoftWave™ that travels out of the applicator and into the affected area being treated.

These high energy acoustic waves penetrate deep into damaged tissue resulting in increased mobility and significant reduction, if not complete elimination of inflammation and pain in just the first treatment.

There are no known significant negative side effects. This treatment is 100% atraumatic to tissues and cells. It essentially “tricks” the body into thinking it’s been injured resulting in an activation of the body’s own healing response.

Most patients only require 8-12 treatments per affected area. There is no down-time, no anesthesia, no injections and generally no activity restrictions after treatment.

The final outcome depends on a variety of factors, but most studies report a healing rate up to 85%. More than 80% of patients report improvement even after just one treatment. Depending on your condition you may require additional “booster” treatments in 2-3 months to maximize results. More severe or chronic degenerative conditions may take longer to heal, so be patient and allow up to 12 weeks to evaluate your outcome as the biologic response and stem cell remodeling can be active up to 12 weeks after your final treatment and varies according to patient’s age and other comorbidities. Lifestyle can also have a profound effect on healing outcomes.
