If you haven’t heard yet, our Ames chiropractic office is thrilled to announce that we now offer Softwave treatments! We are constantly seeking the most effective ways to support your health, and Softwave is a fantastic tool that enhances our ability to do just that, complementing our Neuro-Structural chiropractic care perfectly. Our mission is to lead our patients toward a comfortable and healthy lifestyle, and this advanced technology is a significant step forward in fulfilling that promise. Softwave Tissue Regeneration Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses patented technology to deliver electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body. In simple terms, it sends powerful yet gentle waves of energy into injured tissues. This process can help improve blood circulation, stimulate your body’s own cellular repair processes, and reduce inflammation. For our practice, this is the ideal partner to your adjustments. While our chiropractic care focuses on correcting the foundational structure of your spine to improve nervous system function, Softwave therapy helps to heal and regenerate the damaged soft tissues—like muscles, tendons, and ligaments—that have been stressed by those underlying structural problems.

Could You Benefit From Softwave Therapy?

Many of our patients in Ames live with nagging injuries or chronic pain that keeps them from enjoying the active life they deserve. You might be a candidate for Softwave Therapy if you have a persistent issue that hasn't fully resolved with other types of care. This therapy works at the cellular level to promote healing, making it particularly effective for soft tissue conditions that are slow to heal due to poor blood flow or chronic inflammation. By addressing the root cause of tissue damage, Softwave can help you get back on your feet, faster. We often find this therapy provides excellent support for a wide range of patient experiences.

You may be a good candidate for Softwave if you experience:

Chronic Heel or Foot Pain: Especially sharp, stabbing pain associated with plantar fasciitis that makes walking difficult.
Nagging Joint Pain: Persistent discomfo rt in areas like the shoulder (rotator cuff), elbow (tennis or golfer's elbow), or knee (jumper's knee).
Repetitive Strain Injuries: Pain and stiffness from overuse at work or from hobbies that put stress on your tendons and muscles.
Old Injuries That Won't Heal: Lingering pain or weakness from a previous sprain or strain that never fully recovered.
Limited Mobility and Stiffness: Difficulty moving a joint through its full range of motion due to scar tissue or chronic inflammation.
Muscle Aches and Pains: Chronic muscular strain in the back, neck, or limbs that chiropractic care is helping but still needs tissue-level support.

Benefits of Integrating Soft wave with Your Care

Integrating Softwave Therapy with your Neuro-Structural chiropractic care creates a powerful combination for healing and recovery. By addressing both the body's foundational structure and the health of the surrounding soft tissues, we can help you achieve a more complete and lasting result. The goal is to get you out of pain and back to living the comfortable, healthy lifestyle you want. It’s never too late to prioritize your well-being, and this therapy is a significant tool to help you do so.

The potential advantages patients may experience include:

A Truly Non-Invasive Approach: This therapy can help you avoid the need for injections, medications, or surgery.
Stimulation of Natural Healing: Softwave works by activating your body's own stem cells and growth factors, promoting true regeneration from within.
Significant Pain and Inflammation Reduction: By increasing blood flow and breaking down scar tissue, the therapy can effectively reduce the sources of chronic pain.
Accelerated Recovery: When used alongside chiropractic care, patients may experience a faster overall recovery time compared to either therapy alone.
Improved Mobility and Function: As tissues heal and pain subsides, you can regain strength and flexibility, allowing you to return to the activities you love in and around Ames.
