researchers in Germany discovered and refined the use of shockwaves for the non-invasive treatment of kidney stones.\u00a0 This process, which is still in use today, is called \u201clithotripsy\u201d.\u00a0 It involves directing a high energy, focused acoustic (soundwave) beam at kidney stones and other hardened masses in the body.\u00a0 The shockwaves then break up the stone or hardened mass, and the body then excretes or reabsorbs the remnant particles. As sometimes happens with scientific discoveries, there were unintended benefits from doing the procedure.\u00a0 For example, researchers noticed that the bone density of the pelvis increased in many patients.\u00a0 This then led to an investigation of other biological effects of shockwave therapy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_tablet hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 20px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_tablet clr  show_only_tablet\" style=\"height: 20px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_mobile clr\" style=\"height: 20px\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div id=\"cz_75217\" class=\"cz_75217 cz_title clr cz_title_pos_inline\"><div class=\"cz_title_content\"><div class=\"cz_wpe_content\"><h2><b>Introducing SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_tablet hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 25px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_tablet clr  show_only_tablet\" style=\"height: 25px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_mobile clr\" style=\"height: 25px\"><\/div><div id=\"cz_48149\" class=\"cz_48149 cz_image clr cz_image_no_fx center_on_mobile\"><div class=\"\" ><div class=\"cz_image_in\"><div class=\"cz_main_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20width=&#39;512&#39;%20height=&#39;341&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20512%20341&#39;%2F%3E\" data-czlz data-src=\"https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sofwave-device.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full\" alt=\"SoftWave device for Shockwave Therapy\" title=\"SoftWave device for Shockwave Therapy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sofwave-device.jpg 512w, https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sofwave-device-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_tablet hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 25px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_tablet clr  show_only_tablet\" style=\"height: 25px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_mobile clr\" style=\"height: 25px\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Years of research led to the development of the SoftWave device.\u00a0 The company, SoftWave TRT (Tissue Regeneration Technologies), LLC was founded in 2004.\u00a0 The company has committed itself to extending the medical use of shockwaves from lithotripsy and urology to nerve and tissue regeneration, musculoskeletal pain and injuries, and potentially many more indications that have yet to be discovered.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"background: #43af1f repeat scroll 0 0;

SoftWave also stimulates nerve endings and thereby it recalibrates the perception of pain and provides lasting relief.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Modulates the Inflammatory Response:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">SoftWave helps regulate and normalize inflammation in injured and scarred tissue.\u00a0 Inflammation is one of the leading causes of chronic pain and disability.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Increases Circulation and Revascularizes Tissue:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">One of the most remarkable effects of SoftWave is that, in the short-term, it increases circulation and, in the long-term, it can cause new blood vessels to grow into the injured tissue. This is why SoftWave has been so effective in treating such things as poorly healing wounds, diabetic ulcers, improper fracture healing, and even erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Increases Mobility:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">With increased blood flow, decreased inflammation and pain reduction it is a natural consequence that injured joints and tissues\u00a0 move better.\u00a0 It is sometimes the case that even one treatment will result in better mobility.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Promotes Long-term Healing:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">The device has sometimes been referred to as a \u201cStem Wave\u201d device.\u00a0 This is because SoftWave TRT, as the name implies, activates resident stem cells and causes other stem cells to migrate to the injury site where they work to repair the tissue. Stem cells are the \u201crepairmen\u201d of the body and can be used to heal and regenerate any tissue.\u00a0 This is why tissue \u201cregeneration\u201d happens.\u00a0 This effect takes place to the maximal extent over a couple months.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Antibacterial Effect:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Studies have demonstrated that SoftWave creates an antibacterial effect which can reduce the risk of infection in injured and weakened tissue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">No Drugs and No Surgery:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">SoftWave is done without any drugs and it often allows people to avoid surgery altogether.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Effective and Quick:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">A SoftWave treatment can be done in as little as 10-15 minutes and many people report almost immediate changes in their conditions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">No Side-effects:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Aside from occasional soreness in the day after treatment, there are virtually no side effects from SoftWave therapy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Conditions Respond Well to SoftWave TRT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<ul id=\"cz_70622\" class=\"cz_70622 cz_stylish_list clr cz_sl_icon_hover_zoom_in\"><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Tendonitis<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Tennis Elbow<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Arthritis<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Bursitis<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Plantar Fasciitis<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Shin Splints<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Poor Fracture Healing<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Back Pain<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Joint Pain<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<ul id=\"cz_98120\" class=\"cz_98120 cz_stylish_list clr cz_sl_icon_hover_zoom_in\"><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Scar Tissue<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Knee Pain<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Tennis Elbow<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Carpal Tunnel<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Peripheral Neuropathy<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Neck Pain<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Overuse Injuries<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Muscle Strains<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-check mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Sports Injuries<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"cz_gap clr \" style=\"height: 30px\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who is Eligible for SoftWave TRT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the great things about SoftWave is that it is extremely safe for almost anyone.\u00a0 There are some conditions and circumstances that would preclude the use of SoftWave. If you are pregnant, or think you are, the use of shockwave therapy is contraindicated if the device is being used on a part of the body that is in close proximity to the uterus. For example, treating the knee, shoulder, hand, or foot is perfectly fine. \u00a0 If you have cancer, a tumor or have a cardiac pacemaker you should avoid shockwave therapy.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that at Chiropractic Health and Wellness we will take a thorough history and do a regional examination to determine whether you are a good candidate for SoftWave.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How We Administer SoftWave Therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4215\" style=\"width: 384px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4215\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20width=&#39;384&#39;%20height=&#39;512&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20384%20512&#39;%2F%3E\" data-czlz data-src=\"https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shockwave-treatment.jpg\" alt=\"woman applying shockwave treatment to the knee\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shockwave-treatment.jpg 384w, https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shockwave-treatment-225x300.jpg 225w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">woman applying shockwave treatment to the knee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The electro acoustic shockwave that the SoftWave device produces moves most effectively through water. The electrode in the applicator head sits in a water bubble behind a membrane.\u00a0 We apply a conductive gel to the body part being treated. The gel contains no medication, but merely serves as a mean of transferring the shockwave to the body which, itself, can be as much as 70% water (depending on age and the specific tissue being treated).\u00a0 The wave travels at many times the speed of sound and penetrates deep into the tissue.\u00a0 We move the applicator slowly over the injured area and look for areas of injury and inflammation.\u00a0 One of the most interesting features of a SoftWave treatment is that you will feel almost nothing when the shockwave hits healthy tissue, but you will feel some mild pain when the shockwaves hit injured, scarred or inflamed tissue.<\/p>\n<p>We will sweep through the localized pain and injury areas and may also work on areas that are distant from the injury site, but may be contributing to your pain.\u00a0 For example, we might treat trigger points in your upper thigh that are referring pain into your knee.\u00a0 Similarly, we may treat reflexology points in the hands and feet that also relate to the area of injury.\u00a0 Depending on the number of pulses we deliver (an average is between 500 and 1000) the treatment may take 10 to 15 minutes. Once we determine that you are a good candidate for a course of treatment, we will deliver a number of treatments to you over several weeks.\u00a0 The maximal healing response to SoftWave treatment takes 8-12 weeks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Will You Feel After a SoftWave Treatment?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A majority of people feel some amount of relief almost immediately after a treatment.\u00a0 We have consistently seen that patients experience less pain and more mobility after treatment with SoftWave.\u00a0 Some people experience mild soreness in the hours following treatment, but this reaction is generally of short duration.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is a \u201cDiscovery\u201d Session?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At Chiropractic Health and Wellness we do a \u201cDiscovery\u201d session with all of our patients who are new to SoftWave TRT.\u00a0 We usually spend 30-45 minutes during this session. We review your intake forms with you, take a further history, perform a regional examination, and then do a SoftWave session with you.\u00a0 It is called a \u201cDiscovery\u201d session because it is a time for us to discover exactly where the injured tissue is.\u00a0 We will know that we have found it because you will tell us that it is uncomfortable in precise locations.\u00a0 You will also discover whether the treatment is effective.\u00a0 As I have already said, most people experience some relief, even after the first SoftWave session and over the next couple days.<\/p>\n<h2>Safe and Effective Solutions for Pain at Chiropractic Health and Wellness in Edina, MN<\/h2>\n<p><strong>At Chiropractic Health and Wellness we feel privileged to be able to offer this state\u2013of\u2013the\u2013art technology to our patients in the Edina, MN, area.
