At Grabouski Chiropractic in Overland Park, KS, we’re always looking for cutting-edge, non-invasive solutions to help our patients heal faster and feel better. One of the most exciting therapies we offer is SoftWave Therapy.
Here’s a Q&A with Dr. Christy Ervin, Doctor of Chiropractic and our expert SoftWave provider, answering the most common questions about this revolutionary treatment.
Q: What is SoftWave Therapy?
A: SoftWave Therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses shockwave technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. It works by sending high-energy acoustic waves into damaged tissue to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate stem cells. This therapy is effective for chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and joint issues—all without the need for surgery or drugs, which is what our patients love the most.
SoftWave is used at leading national and international research and medical centers as well as professional sport organizations including: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, PGA, Premier League, UFC and more.
Q: What conditions does SoftWave Therapy treat?
A: SoftWave Therapy is incredibly versatile. At Grabouski Chiropractic, we’ve successfully used it to treat countless conditions, but some of the most common we see are:
-
Bursitis
-
Tennis elbow
-
Knee pain
-
Shoulder pain
-
Back and neck pain
-
Sciatica
-
Hip pain
-
Sports injuries
-
Arthritis and joint inflammation
-
Osgood Schlatter’s in kids
- Shin Splints
If you’re dealing with chronic pain or a nagging injury that hasn’t responded to other treatments, we encourage you to try SoftWave.
Q: Is SoftWave Therapy painful?
A: Most patients report minimal discomfort during the treatment. You may feel a tapping sensation as the sound waves target the affected
area. This discomfort actually confirms we’ve found the source of the problem! The saying “you’ve got to feel it to heal it” is something we remind patients. The treatment is quick—usually around 5 to 10 minutes per session.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: That depends on your condition and severity. Many patients experience significant relief after just 1 to 3 sessions, but a full treatment plan may include up to 8-10 sessions spaced out for maximum stem cell production. Studies show stem cell remodeling continues for weeks after your last session. One of the best things about SoftWave is that there’s minimal to no downtime—most people can return to normal activities right after their visit.
Q: Is SoftWave Therapy covered by insurance?
A: While many insurance plans don’t yet cover SoftWave Therapy, we offer flexible, affordable payment options at our Overland Park clinic. We also provide free initial consultations and a $49 new patient special for your first visit so you can see if you’re a good candidate without any pressure.
