What is SoftWave therapy?
SoftWave therapy is a non-invasive regenerative treatment that uses patented electrohydraulic shockwaves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. It helps increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair without surgery, injections, or medication.
What conditions can SoftWave therapy help with?
SoftWave is commonly used for chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain, including back, neck, knee, shoulder, and hip pain, as well as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and sports injuries. Many patients choose it as a non-surgical option when other treatments have not provided lasting relief.
Does SoftWave therapy hurt?
Most patients find SoftWave comfortable and describe it as a light tapping sensation. No anesthesia is needed, and there is no downtime afterward, so you can return to your normal activities the same day.
How many treatments will I need?
Every plan is personalized to your condition and goals. Many patients notice improvement within the first few sessions, and a typical course takes place over several weeks. Dr. DelMedico will recommend a plan tailored to you at your consultation.
Is SoftWave therapy safe and FDA cleared?
Yes. SoftWave uses FDA-cleared technology, and your treatment is provided by Dr. Tim DelMedico, DC, an ISMST certified provider who has performed over 15,000 SoftWave treatments.
What other therapies does Revive Health offer?
