What to Expect After Your First SoftWave Therapy Discovery Session with Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson in Charleston, SC
Fix Your Pain Charleston | Charleston, SC
If you’ve scheduled your first SoftWave Therapy session at Fix Your Pain Charleston, you’re taking a powerful step toward natural healing, pain relief, and improved mobility. This first visit is known as your Discovery Session—and it plays a critical role in helping Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson identify exactly where your body needs help and how to deliver the best results possible.
Let’s walk you through what to expect during and after this initial session, how your body may respond, and the key recommendations that help maximize your recovery and healing.
Your First Visit: Discovery Day
SoftWave Therapy works by using electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to locate and stimulate areas of pain, inflammation, arthritis, or injury. These waves travel deep into the tissues and produce real-time feedback that helps us uncover:
-
Areas of chronic inflammation
-
Scar tissue and adhesions
-
Degenerated or arthritic joints
-
Old injuries that haven’t fully healed
-
Soft tissue dysfunction or poor circulation
Why It Matters:
The Discovery Session allows Dr. Jeremiah to pinpoint exactly where the root cause of your pain is located—even if the discomfort is referred or radiating from somewhere else. Once identified, we now know exactly where to treat during your care plan to ensure targeted, efficient healing.
What You May Feel After the First Session
Most patients—over 80%—notice improvements within the first 1 to 3 SoftWave sessions. These early signs of improvement are a good indication that SoftWave Therapy is a great fit for your condition and that you're on the right path to relief and healing.
Common Responses After Session One:
-
Improved range of motion
-
Less pain and joint stiffness
-
Decreased swelling and inflammation
-
A sense of increased strength or stability
-
Mild soreness or fatigue in the treated area (temporary and normal)
These are all signs that SoftWave has activated your body’s healing response and is beginning the repair and regeneration process at the cellular and tissue levels.
What Comes Next: Your Customized Care Plan
After your Discovery Session, Dr. Jeremiah will design a custom SoftWave Therapy plan tailored to your unique needs, goals, and problem areas. Most plans consist of:
-
6 to 8 sessions on average
-
Spread out over 6 to 8 weeks
-
Adjusted as you progress for optimal results
This strategic schedule gives your body time between sessions to heal, adapt, and regenerate tissue, while also building consistency in your recovery journey.
Take-Home Recommendations for the First 48–72 Hours
To support your healing process and help you get the most from your first SoftWave session, Dr. Jeremiah recommends the following post-care guidelines:
1. Avoid Icing the Treated Area
Do not ice for the first 48 to 72 hours. SoftWave increases blood flow and circulation to the area, and applying ice may interfere with this healing response. Let your body do the healing.
2. Modify Exercise and Physical Activity
You don’t have to stop moving, but you do need to adjust activity levels. Avoid high-impact or strenuous exercises that could stress the treated area. Choose gentle movement and low-resistance activities to support recovery.
3. Stay Mobile
Keep the area moving with light stretching or gentle activity. Motion is beneficial—but it should be controlled and intentional, not aggressive or intense.
4. Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps your tissues flush out inflammation and support the regenerative process stimulated by SoftWave Therapy.
Optional Enhancements to Boost Healing
Depending on your condition and goals, Dr. Jeremiah may recommend additional therapies to complement your SoftWave care plan. These therapies are customized based on your needs and may include:
-
Red Light Therapy – Supports cellular energy (mitochondrial function), improves circulation, and enhances tissue repair.
-
Active Release Technique (ART) – Helps release muscle tension and soft tissue adhesions, restoring mobility and function.
-
Chiropractic Adjustments – Improve nervous system function, joint alignment, and biomechanics to accelerate whole-body healing.
Each of these therapies is selected based on clinical need, your personal recovery goals, and the areas of concern found during your Discovery Session.
