SoftWave Therapy is a treatment involving SoftWave Tissue Regenerative Technology that applies short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of energy into soft-tissue that is injured, scarred, contains adhesions, is painful, or inflamed.

Your provider will apply a gel to the surface area that is going to be treated. The SoftWave applicator is gently applied to the skin. You will hear a clicking sound as your provider moves around the treatment area. During therapy, you communicate with the provider to identify treatment areas and monitor progress. The treatment on average takes between 5-15 minutes.

After completing new patient paperwork in our Naperville chiropractic office, you will have a consult with Dr. Timothy Erickson, SoftWave Therapy treatment, and receive a complete recovery plan.

Often times immediately, yet the best outcomes occur roughly 12 weeks after the last treatment.

SoftWave Therapy rarely causes side effects. For some, redness and soreness can occur, but usually subsides in a day or two.

Most people are good candidates for treatment; however, patients who have a pacemaker or current cancer are not always recommended for treatment. Those who are pregnant can receive treatment to certain areas. SoftWave is very effective for people that have not responded well to treatments such as pain medication, physical therapy, or even steroid injection and epidural injection.

SoftWave Therapy is not currently covered by insurance.

Yes! Chiropractic care focuses more on the skeletal structure and nervous system. SoftWave addresses soft tissue and chronic inflammation. They work well together to help your body heal.
