SoftWave Therapy in Atlanta
Gentle, Powerful Healing
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of pain, inflammation, or stiffness—especially after trying other treatments that haven’t brought results—SoftWave Therapy may be the difference-maker you’ve been seeking. This innovative, non-invasive therapy taps into your body’s natural repair mechanisms using focused acoustic waves that go deep below the surface without breaking the skin. No needles. No downtime. Just real relief and restored movement.
What Sets SoftWave Apart From Other Therapies?
This modality delivers low-intensity shockwaves through the skin to stimulate healing deep within the tissue. Unlike traditional shockwave treatments, which are more focused and intense, SoftWave uses gentle, wide-reaching, broader pulses. It’s a more comfortable option for people dealing with pain in larger or more sensitive areas.
The treatment improves circulation, boosts collagen production, and triggers the release of stem cells and growth factors. That means the body isn’t just masking pain; it’s repairing itself from the inside out.
Conditions That Respond Well to This Treatment
SoftWave Therapy supports healing in a wide variety of issues involving muscles, joints, and nerves. It’s often recommended for those with:
- Chronic joint pain (knees, hips, shoulders)
- Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
- Tendinitis or bursitis
- Back or neck pain
- Sports injuries or repetitive strain issues
- Nerve pain, including small fiber sensory neuropathy
- Post-surgical inflammation or scar tissue
Arthritis and mobility concerns
It’s also shown promise in speeding up recovery for certain wounds, ulcers, and stress fractures. Whether the pain is new or has lingered for years, this may be what’s needed to help get you moving again with less discomfort.
What to Expect During a Session
The first appointment includes a brief physical exam followed by a trial session. Chiropractor Dr. Sam Clavell applies the therapy directly to the skin. There’s no need to disrobe, just wear loose clothing. You’ll receive approximately 500 pulses in that first session, which helps determine how your body responds.
Each session lasts just 5-7 minutes, depending on the area treated. Many patients describe a tingling sensation or dull ache in specific areas, which is actually a good sign—it means the brain recognizes the injury and is kick-starting the repair process. Most people feel better immediately after the session.
Comfortable Care for All, Tailored to You
SoftWave Therapy can safely be used by patients of all ages, including athletes, seniors, and those recovering from surgery. It also pairs well with chiropractic care, massage, and physical therapy.
There are a few exceptions: people with pacemakers, active cancer, or pregnancy should consult with Dr. Sam first. In some cases, therapy can still be done in safe areas, like extremities during pregnancy, but always under careful supervision.
Is It a Long-Term Fix or Just a Quick Boost?
The answer is both. Many patients experience fast symptom relief, sometimes after the very first session. However, with repeated sessions, the therapy stimulates deeper regeneration of soft tissue and nerves. It’s a great option if you want to avoid surgery or reduce reliance on medications.
Whether you’ve been sidelined by pain or just want to move freely again, SoftWave Therapy may offer the healing answer you’ve been missing.
