What Are Shockwave and SoftWave Therapies?

Both therapies use sound waves to stimulate the body's natural ability to repair damaged tissue, but they work in slightly different ways.

Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic pulses directly into areas of chronic pain or injury. This helps break up scar tissue, increase blood flow, and activate cell regeneration. It’s commonly used for tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and other musculoskeletal issues that haven’t responded to traditional care.

SoftWave therapy (also known as electrohydraulic shockwave therapy) is a more recent development that uses lower-pressure waves over a broader area. It’s ideal for sensitive or hard-to-reach areas, and many patients find it more comfortable. SoftWave has been shown to reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue repair, and even stimulate the production of stem cells for long-term recovery.
