For decades, cortisone injections have been one of the most common treatments for joint pain, arthritis, and inflammation. While they may offer short-term relief, patients across Charleston, SC are discovering a better, longer-lasting, and safer solution — SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy with Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson at Fix Your Pain Charleston.

SoftWave Therapy is revolutionizing pain management by promoting true healing rather than masking symptoms — and more patients are choosing it over cortisone shots every single day.

The Problem with Cortisone Shots

Cortisone (a corticosteroid) is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that can temporarily reduce swelling and pain. However, there are several downsides and risks associated with repeated use.

1. Short-Term Relief

While cortisone can offer pain relief for days or weeks, the results are often temporary. The inflammation and pain frequently return, leading patients into a cycle of repeat injections.

2. No Regenerative Benefit

Cortisone doesn’t heal or repair tissue. It only suppresses inflammation — which means it does nothing to address the underlying damage in joints, tendons, ligaments, or cartilage.

3. Tissue Weakening Over Time

Repeated cortisone injections can actually weaken tissues, including tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. This can make injuries worse and accelerate joint degeneration.

4. Potential Side Effects

Frequent cortisone shots may cause:

• Joint deterioration

• Tendon rupture

• Cartilage thinning

• Bone loss (osteopenia)

• Hormonal imbalances and immune suppression

For these reasons, many orthopedic and pain management physicians limit the number of cortisone injections a patient can safely receive each year.

The Better Option: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy

SoftWave Therapy offers a completely different — and biologically regenerative — approach to pain relief. It uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves that travel deep into the body to stimulate healing at the cellular and tissue level.

Unlike cortisone, SoftWave doesn’t just turn off inflammation — it helps the body heal and regenerate naturally.

How SoftWave Works

SoftWave Therapy activates a process called mechanotransduction, which converts mechanical sound energy into biochemical signals that awaken the body’s natural repair mechanisms.

Key Healing Effects Include:

• Stem Cell Activation and Migration: SoftWave stimulates your body’s own stem cells to move to areas of pain or injury, jumpstarting repair and regeneration.

• Improved Blood Flow (Angiogenesis): It increases circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues by stimulating VEGF and eNOS, helping flush out inflammation and promote healing.

• Reduction of Chronic Inflammation: SoftWave helps modulate inflammatory pathways rather than just suppressing them.

• Tissue Remodeling: It breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that restrict movement and limit healing.

• Long-Term Pain Relief: Patients experience sustained results that continue to improve for weeks and months after completing their care plan.
