SoftWave Therapy, or Extracorporeal SoftWave Therapy (EWST), is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shock waves to an injured area to promote healing. This treatment produces highly effective shock waves that initiate biological regeneration processes at the cellular level.
Treatment involving technology that applies short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy (in the form of a shockwave) into soft-tissue that is injured, scarred, or contains adhesions, is painful, or inflamed.
Upon delivery, SoftWave triggers a cellular response that activates the body’s natural healing process. Patients experience the transformative benefits, including:
Increased blood supply
Promotion of angiogenesis
Modulation of inflammation
Activation of resident stem cells
Restoration of tissue elasticity
Endogenous growth factor activation
Therapeutic Effects of SoftWave Therapy
Pain relief – analgesic effect
Anti-inflammatory action:
Lowers the pro-inflammatory immune response
Decreases cellular apoptosis and reduces necrosis
Antibacterial effect in the treatment of infections
Induces the expression of endogenous growth factors
Angiogenesis; improved vascularity and blood circulation, tissue supply
Ossification; formation of new bone tissue
Stimulates natural anabolic and growth functions in all kinds of tissues (skin, bones, cartilage, smooth & striated muscles, nerves…)
