SoftWave Therapy featured on
When pain keeps coming back, you need more than temporary relief.
You have rested it. You have stretched it. You have tried the rub, the brace, maybe the pills. The pain still flares. The mornings are still stiff. Walking, lifting, sleeping, and the small movements that make up a day are still harder than they should be. What you usually want at that point is a better understanding of what is actually healing, and a step that does not jump straight to something invasive.
Patients often ask about SoftWave when they are dealing with
- Knee pain
- Shoulder pain
- Back or neck discomfort
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendon or ligament irritation
- Sports injuries
- Neuropathy-related discomfort
- Chronic inflammation
- Slow-healing soft tissue problems
What is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy uses acoustic pressure waves delivered through a handheld applicator. The waves are applied to a targeted area of the body to stimulate a biological response in the tissue. The treatment is non-invasive, drug-free, and does not involve incisions or needles.
The intent is to support your body's own repair signals. The waves are designed to help increase local circulation, activate connective tissue, and may help reduce discomfort and inflammation in muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissue.
How SoftWave Therapy supports the healing process.
-
01
Target the painful area
Dr. Glen identifies the area of pain, restriction, or tissue irritation and applies the SoftWave applicator to the region.
-
02
Deliver acoustic wave energy
The device sends acoustic pressure waves into the tissue without cutting, needles, or medication.
-
03
Stimulate a local repair response
The acoustic waves are designed to help increase local circulation, activate connective tissue, and support your body's natural healing signals.
-
04
Improve comfort and movement
As irritation calms and tissue function improves, many patients notice better movement, less discomfort, and improved ability to return to normal activities.
Every patient responds differently. Dr. Glen will recommend a plan based on your condition, history, and goals.

| Pain medication | Injections | Surgery | Rest alone | SoftWave Therapy | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Invasive? | No | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Drug-free? | No | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Downtime | Usually none | Variable | Significant | Activity limits | Minimal |
| Goal | Reduce symptom temporarily | Reduce inflammation or pain | Repair or replace tissue | Allow time for natural recovery | Support local healing and circulation |
| Best for | Short-term management | Targeted relief in specific cases | When other care has not worked | Mild, recent flare-ups | Stubborn or slow-healing soft tissue issues |

Questions patients usually ask before booking.
Does SoftWave Therapy hurt?
Most patients describe it as tapping, pulsing, or pressure. Sensitive areas may feel more intense, but the treatment can be adjusted based on your comfort.
How many SoftWave sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you have had symptoms, and how your body responds. Dr. Glen will recommend a plan after evaluating you.
Is there downtime after SoftWave Therapy?
Most patients have little to no downtime. Dr. Glen will give you guidance based on the treated area and your activity level.
Is SoftWave Therapy the same as shockwave therapy?
SoftWave is a type of acoustic wave therapy. Patients often compare it to shockwave therapy because both use wave energy, but device design, wave delivery, and treatment approach can vary.

Many patients ask about SoftWave for heel and foot pain, including plantar fasciitis. Dr. Glen will evaluate your symptoms and determine whether it is a good fit.
Can SoftWave help knee or shoulder pain?
SoftWave may be considered for certain joint, tendon, ligament, and soft tissue issues. The best way to know is to have the area evaluated.
Is SoftWave Therapy safe?
SoftWave is non-invasive and does not involve medication, needles, or surgery. Like any treatment, it may not be right for every person, which is why evaluation matters.
Can I get SoftWave Therapy if I already see a chiropractor?
Yes. SoftWave may complement chiropractic care when appropriate. Dr. Glen can help decide how it fits into your overall care plan.
Will I feel results after one visit?
Some patients notice changes quickly, while others need a series of sessions. Results vary based on the condition, severity, and individual response.
