It is AMAZING.

HOW IT WORKS: Shockwave therapy applies short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy (in the form of a shock wave) into soft tissue that is injured, scarred, inflamed, or contains adhesions. These sound waves stimulate stem cells, increase circulation, and promote the natural healing process. It also helps relieve pain by stimulating nerve endings.
Shockwave therapy can be used for:
Inflammation reduction
Stimulation of collagen
Improved blood flow
Breakdown of calcium build-up
Increased cell growth and production
Most patients experience improvement after the very first session.
Softwave Tissue Regeneration Technologies is the company that created the unfocused shockwave. SoftWave’s OrthoGold 100 is an advanced shock wave device using electrohydraulic spark gap technology with a patented parabolic reflector that produces an unfocused or parallel acoustic wave over a broad area resulting in accelerated healing.
They are currently the only company that offers unfocused true shock wave technology in their devices.
Unfocused shockwave therapy machines are designed with the intention of providing the benefits of both radial shockwave devices as well as focused shockwave devices all in one package. Unfocused shockwave devices are able to target areas that are both wider and deeper than a radial or focused shockwave therapy device can.
As noted on their website here, Softwave is used for many different conditions. This includes those who aren’t finding relief from other recovery practices (such as icing often, braces, or stretching) but who also aren’t in a position to have a surgical operation or more injections for pain.
We’re seeing it make incredible changes in those with severe pains. For patients that have lost some of their normal day-to-day activities like running, climbing, lifting, even walking. It helps with chronic tissue problems and may be effective for you if you are experiencing symptoms such as:
- Damaged knee cartilage
- Hip labrum tears
- Shoulder pains
- Rib fractures
- Foot neuropathy
- Tennis elbow
- Tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Golfer’s elbow
- Jumper’s knee
- Morton’s neuroma
- Non-union stress fractures
- Retrocalcaneal bursitis
- Calcific tendinopathy
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome
- Patella tendinopathy
- Iliotibial band syndrome
