What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (EWST), is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shockwaves to an injured area to promote healing. This treatment produces highly effective shockwaves that initiate biological regeneration processes at the cellular level.
Why SoftWave?
Treatment is safe, doesn’t require surgery, drugs, or needles, and helps reduce pain, speed up recovery, and regenerate tissue.
How does it work?
SoftWave triggers a cellular response that activates the body’s natural healing process. Patients experience the transformative benefits, including:
- Temporary increase in blood flow
- Promotion of angiogenesis
- Modulation of inflammation
- Activation of resident stem cells
- Restoration of tissue elasticity
- Endogenous growth factor activation

Frequently Asked Questions About SoftWave Therapy
What is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic wave technology to stimulate healing, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. At Back to Balance Chiropractic and Wellness in West Valley City, SoftWave Therapy is commonly used for shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, neuropathy, sports injuries, and chronic pain.
What conditions does SoftWave Therapy help with?
SoftWave Therapy may help with plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, knee pain, neuropathy, tendonitis, back pain, sciatica, soft tissue injuries, muscle tightness, and chronic inflammation. Many patients choose SoftWave Therapy because it promotes natural healing without surgery or injections.
Is SoftWave Therapy painful?
Most patients tolerate SoftWave Therapy very well. Some areas with more inflammation or injury may feel temporarily sensitive during treatment, but sessions are generally quick and non-invasive. Many patients report improvement in pain and mobility after treatment.
How many SoftWave Therapy sessions do I need?
The number of SoftWave Therapy sessions varies depending on the condition, severity, and how long the problem has been present. Some patients notice improvement after the first visit, while others benefit from a series of treatments for longer-term healing and recovery.
Is SoftWave Therapy better than cortisone shots?
SoftWave Therapy and cortisone injections work differently. Cortisone is designed to reduce inflammation temporarily, while SoftWave Therapy focuses on stimulating the body’s natural healing response. Many patients looking for a non-surgical and drug-free option choose SoftWave Therapy.
Does SoftWave Therapy help plantar fasciitis?
Yes. SoftWave Therapy is commonly used to help plantar fasciitis by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating tissue repair in the foot and heel. Many patients in West Valley City seek SoftWave Therapy for chronic heel pain that hasn’t improved with stretching or orthotics alone.
