Tendinitis:

In people suffering from tendonitis, or other tendinopathies, SoftWave Therapy has helped to significantly decrease pain and allow people to return to their prior function.
“From the results of the present study, extracorporeal shockwave therapy is an effective modality in relieving pain intensity and increasing the functionality and quality of life in various tendinopathies such as plantar fasciitis, elbow tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy and rotator cuff tendinopathy. It can be done on an out-patient basis with no patient restrictions and there are no significant side effects.” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6029898)
The lack of restrictions during SoftWave Therapy helps people to assess their progress in real time, without taking them out of the activities they love.

Bursitis:

We most commonly see bursitis in either the shoulders, elbows, or in the hips. Bursitis is the inflammation of the small, fluid-filled sacs that help to cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near our joints, which can cause a significant amount of pain during movement. SoftWave Therapy can help to increase the speed of your recovery and decrease the use of medications. By treating directly over the affected area, SoftWave instigates healing at the cellular level, improves blood circulation in the area, and stimulates the body’s inherent healing mechanisms.

Reduction of inflammation through SoftWave Therapy:

Inflammation is a very important function of the body. The process of inflammation is triggered by our immune system in an effort to trap the bacteria or other offenders in order to start healing the injured tissue. However, when patients are experiencing long-term (chronic) inflammation, such as arthritis, our body is continuously trying to heal an area that no longer needs to be healed. This can result in pain, swelling, soreness, and difficulty moving. SoftWave Therapy is beneficial for chronic pain in that it helps to improve blood circulation through the area of concern, allowing the body to get rid of the swelling and improve healthy cell growth in the area. This decreases the body’s inflammatory response, allowing you to return to the activities you love with decreased pain.
