When it comes to non-invasive pain relief and tissue healing, many patients are hearing about SoftWave Therapy and Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT). Although both use shock waves, they are not the same technology — and their results can be dramatically different.

At Fix Your Pain Charleston, Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson uses SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology, the most advanced form of true focused shockwave therapy, to help patients experience faster recovery, longer-lasting relief, and cellular regeneration without drugs, injections, or surgery.

Let’s break down how these two therapies differ and why SoftWave stands far above radial shockwave in both science and patient outcomes.

Understanding the Basics

SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves that travel at speeds exceeding 3,000 miles per hour. These waves penetrate deeply into tissue, reaching the cellular level to activate a process called mechanotransduction, which triggers biological repair and regeneration.

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)

Radial shockwave devices (also called pressure wave or ballistic devices) generate compressed air impulses that disperse energy over a broad surface area. While they can help reduce superficial muscle tension or mild pain, they lack the depth and cellular impact of SoftWave’s true focused waves.

The Key Differences: SoftWave vs. Radial Shockwave

1. Depth of Penetration

• SoftWave: Broad-focused waves reach deep into joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves, stimulating healing at the cellular and vascular levels.

• Radial Shockwave: Limited to superficial tissues; energy dissipates quickly, often only treating the surface layer of muscle.

2. Speed and Energy Type

• SoftWave: Uses supersonic electrohydraulic acoustic waves that mimic the body’s natural signaling for healing without causing microtrauma.

• Radial Shockwave: Uses pneumatic pressure waves, slower and less biologically precise, often causing discomfort without deep tissue regeneration.

3. Cellular Response

• SoftWave: Activates resident stem cells, increases VEGF, eNOS, and BMPs, promoting angiogenesis, tissue repair, and regeneration.

• Radial Shockwave: Provides mild mechanical stimulation with minimal cellular or regenerative activity.

4. Comfort and Safety

• SoftWave: Non-traumatic and gentle; no microtears, no tissue damage, and safe even over the spine and post-surgical hardware (including knee replacements, spine surgeries, etc).

• Radial Shockwave: Can cause surface bruising or irritation and is not safe over certain surgical implants and has more contraindications.

5. Long-Term Results

• SoftWave: Backed by clinical data showing sustained pain relief and healing over months due to ongoing stem cell activation.

• Radial Shockwave: Provides temporary symptom relief, often requiring frequent repeat sessions.

The Science Behind SoftWave’s Regenerative Power

SoftWave Therapy initiates a healing cascade that continues for weeks and months after treatment. Its biological effects include:

• Mechanotransduction: Converts acoustic energy into biochemical healing signals.

• Stem Cell Activation: Stimulates dormant resident stem cells to migrate and repair tissue.

• Neoangiogenesis: Creates new blood vessels for improved circulation and oxygenation.

• Inflammation Modulation: Flushes out trapped chronic inflammation while promoting healthy immune balance.

• Tissue Remodeling: Breaks down scar tissue and fibrosis, restoring elasticity and mobility.

This combination of effects results in not just pain relief, but true regeneration of soft tissue, cartilage, nerves, and joints.

Why More Providers Are Switching to SoftWave

SoftWave is trusted and used by leading institutions and professional organizations, including:

• The Cleveland Clinic

• Mayo Clinic

• Harvard and Stanford University research hospitals

• Walter Reed Military Medical Center

• Professional sports teams in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, UFC, PGA, and NCAA

These organizations use SoftWave because it delivers measurable biological change, not just mechanical vibration.
