What Is SoftWave Therapy?

Acoustic shockwaves that switch on your body's own healing response

SoftWave is FDA-cleared shockwave technology that sends gentle acoustic pulses deep into injured tissue, increasing blood flow and stimulating your body's natural repair process — without surgery, injections, or downtime.

Broad-focused, not just a single point

Unlike narrow radial devices, SoftWave's parabolic reflector spreads each pulse across a wide treatment zone, reaching more tissue with every session.

10–15 minutes, no downtime

Most sessions fit into a lunch break. There's no anesthesia, no incisions, and you can return to normal activity right away.

FDA-cleared, backed by research

SoftWave is supported by hundreds of clinical studies and used by leading hospital systems and professional sports teams across the country.

How a SoftWave treatment works

01

Assess & locate

Dr. Gillis pinpoints the injured area and applies a thin layer of gel to help transmit the acoustic waves.

02

Deliver acoustic pulses

The handheld applicator delivers broad-focused shockwaves directly into the treatment zone for about 10–15 minutes.

03

Your body heals

Blood flow increases and resident stem cells activate over the following days and weeks, repairing tissue from the inside out.
