What Is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave therapy is an extracorporeal shockwave treatment that uses low-intensity acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing process. The technology is designed to reach damaged soft tissue at a cellular level, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and triggering regenerative activity including the mobilization of stem cells to the treatment area.
It is commonly used for conditions where the body's healing response has stalled, including chronic tendon injuries, ligament damage, and persistent soft tissue pain that has not fully resolved with other care. SoftWave is particularly well-suited for active patients, athletes, and individuals recovering from motor vehicle accidents who are dealing with stubborn injuries that continue to affect daily activity or performance.
Unlike some forms of shockwave therapy that use high-intensity focused energy, SoftWave TRT uses an unfocused wave that covers a broader treatment zone. This allows it to address larger areas of tissue and reach structures that more targeted devices may miss.
How We Approach SoftWave Therapy at Back2Strength
At Back2Strength, SoftWave therapy is delivered by our chiropractic team as part of a broader musculoskeletal care model. Nicholas Brown DC, MS holds a master's degree in sports medicine and focuses on complex soft tissue injuries, sports-related damage, and post-accident recovery where tissue regeneration is a priority. Andrew Huston DC, MS brings the same sports medicine background, with a particular focus on athletic and traumatic injuries, and understands firsthand how the right diagnosis and treatment can get patients back to activity faster. Jonathan Klopcic DC, Cert. MDT holds a certification in Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment, making him especially well-suited for disc-related soft tissue injuries and cases involving nerve involvement alongside tendon or ligament damage.
Together, the team integrates SoftWave into treatment plans where the injury warrants a more targeted biological stimulus than manual care alone. The clinic's in-house combination of chiropractic care, spinal rehabilitation, and massage therapy allows SoftWave to be used alongside other modalities when appropriate, rather than as a standalone procedure. This is particularly valuable for patients with layered injuries, such as those involving both joint dysfunction and soft tissue damage following a car accident.
SoftWave is a premium treatment option at Back2Strength, positioned for cases where the body needs a stronger healing stimulus to complete recovery.

What SoftWave Therapy Can Help You Achieve
Reduced pain and improved tissue function. Patients commonly report decreased pain in the treated area and a gradual return to the activities that were limited by the injury, whether that is sport, work, or daily movement.
Accelerated soft tissue healing. SoftWave is designed to address the root cause of chronic soft tissue injuries by promoting blood flow, stimulating cellular repair, and supporting the body's regenerative processes rather than masking symptoms.
Shorter recovery trajectory. For post-accident patients or athletes dealing with injuries that have not responded fully to other care, SoftWave offers a path to recovery that does not require surgery, medication, or extended rest.
Frequently Asked Questions about SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave therapy works well for athletes, weekend warriors, and patients with chronic soft tissue injuries that have not fully healed with other care. It is also commonly used for post-accident patients dealing with tendon or ligament damage, as well as individuals with plantar fasciitis, shoulder injuries, or persistent hip or knee pain.
Dr. Brown. Dr, Huston, and Dr. Klopcic use SoftWave for a range of soft tissue conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, patellar tendon issues, rotator cuff injuries, golfer's and tennis elbow, IT band syndrome, hip bursitis, ligament tears, post-surgical scar tissue, and chronic lower back and neck muscle tension.
SoftWave is not typically covered by insurance and is offered as a premium treatment option. Back2Strength offers package pricing, and all costs are discussed with you before treatment begins.
Most patients complete a short series of in-office sessions. The exact number depends on the condition being treated, its severity, and how the tissue responds. Our chiropractors will give you a clear recommendation at your initial assessment.
SoftWave TRT uses an unfocused acoustic wave, which is different from high-intensity focused shockwave devices. The SoftWave approach is designed to cover a broader area of tissue and is associated with less discomfort during treatment.
