Understanding Your SoftWave Therapy Care Plan with Dr. Jeremiah: Week-to-Week Improvements and Healing Beyond Week Six

Published May 29th, 2025 by Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson

Fix Your Pain Charleston | Charleston, SC

If you’ve recently started SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy at Fix Your Pain Charleston, or you're considering it, you may be wondering what to expect during and after your care plan.

Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson designs every SoftWave therapy program around your unique needs, but most plans on average include a 6 to 8 session protocol over the course of 6-8 weeks. What’s important to understand is that SoftWave Therapy doesn’t just relieve pain—it builds a regenerative foundation that continues healing long after your last session.

Let’s break down what you can expect week by week, and how your results will continue to improve even after your initial care plan is completed.


Week 1: Discovery and Initial Response

Your first visit is focused on discovery and mapping. Dr. Jeremiah will use SoftWave to identify the “hot spots” or areas of inflammation, pain, and injury by delivering focused acoustic waves to the region of concern.

What to Expect:

  • Mild to moderate soreness post-treatment (normal and short-lived)

  • Early signs of relief in pain, stiffness, or movement limitations

  • Increased blood flow to the area, jumpstarting the healing process

  • Patient education on the science of stem cell activation and tissue regeneration


Week 2: Inflammation Modulation and Tissue Stimulation

By the second treatment, SoftWave is actively working at the cellular level, decreasing inflammation and stimulating your body's natural healing response.

What to Expect:

  • Reduced pain and swelling

  • Improved range of motion and flexibility

  • Decreased reliance on over-the-counter pain medications

  • Activation of toll-like receptors and cellular signaling pathways that promote tissue regeneration


Week 3: Regenerative Processes Strengthen

At this point, SoftWave is stimulating resident stem cells, improving microcirculation, and breaking down scar tissue.

What to Expect:

  • Noticeable improvement in mobility and strength

  • Reduced pain during daily activities (walking, standing, climbing stairs)

  • Continued repair of soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, and joint surfaces

  • Greater stability in the affected joint or region


Week 4: Functional Recovery

Now that inflammation is decreasing and healing is progressing, patients often feel more confident in their movement, with less restriction and discomfort.

What to Expect:

  • Enhanced joint and muscle function

  • Improved gait, balance, and activity tolerance

  • Ability to return to light exercise or physical activity with less pain

  • Better posture, mechanics, and neuromuscular coordination


Week 5: Resilience and Strength Building

SoftWave Therapy continues to promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, and collagen synthesis.

What to Expect:

  • Further strength and endurance improvements

  • Restoration of tissue integrity in chronically injured areas

  • Ability to increase daily activity or exercise intensity

  • Lasting pain relief and tissue regeneration well underway


Week 6: Solid Foundation for Long-Term Healing

By week six, SoftWave Therapy has created a stable cellular and structural environment within the injured tissue, setting the stage for ongoing healing even after the final session of the initial plan.

What to Expect:

  • Cumulative improvements in joint, tendon, ligament, and nerve function

  • Reduced frequency of flare-ups or inflammation

  • More consistent strength, flexibility, and balance

  • Stronger outlook on recovery and long-term performance


Beyond Week 6: Continued Healing for Weeks and Months

Here’s where the science becomes even more exciting. Clinical research shows that SoftWave continues to stimulate stem cell activity for up to 12 weeks and beyond after your last session. This means the healing, repair, and regeneration process is still ongoing, even after your scheduled care plan ends.

What to Expect Beyond Week 6:

  • Ongoing soft tissue healing and remodeling

  • Continued reduction in pain and stiffness

  • Improved resilience in the joint, muscle, or tendon

  • More sustained recovery outcomes compared to traditional therapies

  • Optional "tune-up" sessions for long-term maintenance and performance


Scientific Backing: Why SoftWave’s Results Last

SoftWave Therapy works through:

  • Mechanotransduction: Mechanical energy that triggers biological changes in cells

  • Stem Cell Activation: Your own cells begin migrating to damaged tissues to rebuild them

  • Growth Factor Release: VEGF, eNOS, BMP, and PCNA support cellular repair and new tissue formation

  • Angiogenesis: Improved blood vessel growth enhances circulation and recovery

These processes work in tandem to support long-term tissue regeneration and inflammation modulation, not just temporary relief.


Stay Consistent. Stay Strong. Heal Fully.

SoftWave Therapy is not a quick fix. It’s a strategic, scientifically-backed plan to restore your body’s ability to heal itself from chronic or acute pain.

Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson and his team at Fix Your Pain Charleston have helped countless individuals:

  • Cancel surgeries

  • Avoid repeat steroid injections

  • Return to their favorite activities

  • Reclaim quality of life through consistent, regenerative healing
