Discover the healing power of SoftWave Therapy.

As a provider of SoftWave Therapy in Ames, Iowa we are here to help our patients heal faster, feel better, and get back to living.


What is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave uses therapeutic energy waves to activate the body’s natural healing. It’s safe, doesn’t require surgery, drugs, or needles, and helps reduce pain, speed up recovery, and regenerate tissue. Easy to use, SoftWave is an effective and trusted treatment option that improves patient outcomes and boosts clinic productivity.

 

How does SoftWave Therapy work?

SoftWave Therapy delivers acoustic shockwaves to targeted areas of the body. These shockwaves stimulate tissue repair, increase blood flow, and reduce inflammation, leading to faster healing and pain relief.

Why Does SoftWave Heal Faster?

SoftWave uses patented technology to reach an injured area at the cellular level to successfully turn on the body’s natural healing process. This ingenious device:

  • increases blood supply
  • modulates inflammation
  • stimulates and activates resident stem cells
  • repairs, remodels and regenerates tissue
  • accelerates wound healing
  • induces antibacterial effect
  • reduces acute and chronic pain
 

 

Conditions where athletes may experience symptom relief include:

  •  Chronic tendinopathies (e.g., rotator cuff injuries, Achilles tendinitis, Patellar tendinopathy)

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Osteoarthritis-related pain (especially in the knee, hip, or shoulder)

  • Muscle Strains and Tears (e.g., hamstring injuries, quadriceps, and calf muscle injuries)

  • Ligament Injuries (such as sprains or partial tears)

  • Stress Fractures and Bone Healing (Canada only)

  • Shin Sprints (medial tibial stress syndrome)

  • Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

  • Golfer's Elbow (medical epicondylitis)

  • IT Brand Syndrome (iliotibial band syndrome)

  • Post-surgical Recovery (enhancing healing and reducing scar tissue)

  • Bursitis (shoulder, hip, knee, etc.)

  • Sciatica

  • Overuse Injuries

  • Frozen Shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

  • Chronic Inflammation



What makes Softwave Therapy so effective?




1. Non-Invasive way of activating the body's natural healing process
Softwave Therapy is a proven option for patients who want to avoid surgery, prescription medication, or injections. This treatment is scientifically validated to recruit and activate stem cell production, allowing the body to truly start healing form within.



2. Dramatically Reduces Pain by breaking up calcification and boosting collagen
By using a patented (and painless) shockwave applicator, we are able to trigger a biological response up to 12cm into your tissue, relieving inflammation almost immediately. Up to 91% of patients experience successful healing.



3. 10-Minute Treatment Times
This superior technology only takes 10-minutes to administer, with better outcomes and fewer treatments compared to alternative methods. Most patients feel relief immediately after the first treatment

 

What does a treatment look like? And what does it look like after?

The procedure averages 5-10 minutes but may be longer depending on treatment area and diagnosis. A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated. The applicator produces pulses as the clinician moves around the treatment area. During therapy, communication with the provider is necessary to identify treatment areas and monitor progress.

What Is A Discovery Visit?

The SoftWave Discovery Appointment is a 30-minute initial visit designed to evaluate whether SoftWave therapy is appropriate for your condition. The visit includes a focused assessment to identify the source of your pain as well as a SoftWave treatment targeting the areas identified. This appointment helps determine if you are a good candidate for care and guides recommendations for next steps based on your response.
