Softwave Therapy Explained
Thrive Beaumont is now offering SoftWave TRT for tissue regeneration. SoftWave uses patented technology to reach an injured area at the cellular level to successfully turn on the body’s natural healing process. This advanced technology is highly regarded in the medical community for its effectiveness in treating a range of acute and chronic conditions, providing a powerful alternative to invasive procedures.

Before & After Treatment
Who is Softwave TRT For?
Some of the main areas of medicine where shockwave therapy is most effective include orthopedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology, and veterinary settings. Those that deal with chronic musculoskeletal conditions are great candidates for shockwave therapy, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is a big supporter of shockwave therapy for tendon-related issues especially. Patients who suffer from some form of tendinopathy often benefit from ESWT, with conditions such as:
Tennis Elbow – Tendinitis – Plantar Fasciitis – Achilles Tendinopathy – Golfer’s Elbow – Jumper’s Knee – Morton’s Neuroma – Non-union Stress Fracture -Retrocalcaneal bursitis – Calcific Tendinopathy – Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome -Patella Tendinopathy – Iliotibial Band Syndrome – Spine Pain – and MORE!
How Does Softwave Therapy Work
SoftWave Therapy is trusted by the top major medical research centers in the U.S. and worldwide. It is supported by extensive scientific research that has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and other chronic pain syndromes. This evidence shows that SoftWave Therapy can enhance pain management and accelerate recovery, often yielding better results than traditional treatments.
Promotes Blood Flow
Promotes new blood vessel formation (vessel sprouting) to improve circulation, oxygenation, and healing of tissue.
Less Pain/Inflamation
Promotes new blood vessel formation (vessel sprouting) to improve circulation, oxygenation, and healing of tissue.
Cellular Repair
This therapy slows down cellular apoptosis (cell death) and releases growth factors that help regenerate damaged cells, facilitating tissue recovery.
Stem Cell Production
Activation of stem cells, increased metabolism, increased proliferation, increased migration, increased differentiation.
Pain Relief With Softwave TRT
Regeneration of Tissue
Activation of stem cells: increased metabolism, increased proliferation, increased migration, increased differentiation; Nicknamed “Stem Cell Machine” by the TV Show The Doctors
Chronic Pain Conditions
SoftWave TRT Therapy is highly effective for chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica, and chronic back and neck pain. By targeting the pain source, it provides long-lasting relief and reduces the need for pain medications and invasive procedures.
Enhanced Blood Flow
The acoustic waves from SoftWave TRT Therapy stimulate blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and increase blood flow to the affected area. Improved circulation helps reduce inflammation and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Patients typically experience a mild tingling or pulsating sensation during the session, but it's generally pain-free. The focus is on providing a comfortable, effective healing experience.
It depends! The number of sessions varies based on the individual needs and conditions of each patient. One of the perks of choosing our office for your SoftWave sessions is that we want to find out what the actual cause of your pain is rather than trying to figure out how to just “make the pain go away”. This ensures that even after we perform SoftWave and get you on the path to true healing, you don't find yourself in the same situation in the future.
SoftWave Therapy is renowned for its minimal side effects. Patients may encounter some mild soreness or redness at the treatment site, but these effects are temporary and generally subside shortly after the session. This is why so many people are loving it as a natural alternative to surgery with zero downtime.
Shockwave therapy is effective in treating a range of conditions, including but not limited to:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow
- Jumper’s knee
- Shoulder tendinitis
- Chronic muscular pain
Some patients report immediate pain relief, but typically, significant results are noticed after a few sessions as the body's natural healing process takes over. Full benefits are generally realized within three months.
