Imagine a treatment that could activate your body's natural healing mechanisms without surgery, injections, or medication. A therapy that works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and accelerate tissue regeneration—all while being comfortable and completed in just 10-15 minutes. This is SoftWave Therapy, a revolutionary treatment that's transforming how we approach foot and ankle pain management and healing.

SoftWave Therapy represents a breakthrough in non-invasive regenerative medicine, offering patients a superior alternative to traditional treatments that often provide only temporary relief. This advanced technology utilizes electrohydraulic shockwaves—the only true shockwave therapy available—to stimulate healing at the cellular level, making it dramatically more effective than other shockwave devices on the market.
What sets SoftWave apart is its unique electrohydraulic technology. Unlike radial or electromagnetic devices that lose energy quickly and penetrate shallowly, SoftWave generates spark-initiated acoustic waves that travel deeper into tissues with consistent energy. Its patented parabolic reflector disperses waves in a broad, parallel pattern, covering more tissue area per pulse and ensuring thorough treatment of the injury and surrounding tissues.
This advanced system activates multiple healing mechanisms. It increases blood flow, delivering nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues, while stimulating growth factors and stem cells to promote natural tissue repair. SoftWave also breaks down scar tissue and calcifications and reduces inflammation, creating an ideal environment for healing.
For plantar fasciitis, SoftWave Therapy offers hope where other treatments fall short. Its broad energy penetrates deep into the plantar fascia, breaking down damaged tissue and helping form healthy collagen. Many patients see significant improvement after only a few sessions, with lasting results that address the root cause instead of masking pain.
Tendonitis conditions like Achilles or posterior tibial tendonitis respond exceptionally well. The therapy boosts cellular metabolism and encourages the growth of new, healthy tissue, making it particularly effective for chronic cases where traditional methods have limited success.
One of SoftWave's standout applications is for diabetic foot ulcers and chronic wounds. By increasing blood flow and activating cellular repair, it offers invaluable support for patients with compromised healing. FDA-cleared specifically for diabetic foot ulcers, SoftWave provides hope for those facing complications from non-healing wounds.
SoftWave Therapy is comfortable and convenient. Most patients describe it as a gentle tapping or mild pressure, often finding it relaxing. Sessions last only 10-15 minutes, fitting easily into busy schedules. There's no prep or recovery time, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately. Many notice improvement after the first session, with optimal results achieved over a series as the body's healing processes are activated.
SoftWave is not just innovative—it’s proven. Backed by research from top medical institutions and used by elite healthcare systems like the Mayo Clinic and UPMC Health, it has also been adopted by professional sports teams across the NFL, NBA, and MLB.
While FDA-cleared for activating connective tissue, treating diabetic foot ulcers, burns, and providing temporary pain relief, SoftWave's applications continue to grow as research reveals its wide-ranging capabilities.
SoftWave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic shockwaves to stimulate your body's natural healing processes. The technology creates acoustic waves through spark-initiated energy, which penetrate deep into tissues to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate cellular repair mechanisms. Unlike other shockwave devices that use radial or electromagnetic energy, SoftWave's electrohydraulic technology delivers true shockwaves with superior penetration and healing power, making it the most advanced form of shockwave therapy available today.
SoftWave Therapy is highly effective for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, chronic heel pain, diabetic foot ulcers, chronic wounds, stress fractures, and various tendonitis conditions. The therapy is particularly beneficial for chronic conditions that haven't responded well to traditional treatments. It's also excellent for accelerating healing after injuries and can help prevent recurring problems by strengthening tissues and improving blood flow to treated areas.
Treatment plans are individualized based on your specific condition, its severity, and how long you've been experiencing symptoms. Many patients notice improvement after their first session, with progressive benefits continuing throughout the treatment course. Typically, patients receive treatments 1-2 times per week for several weeks. Chronic conditions may require more sessions than acute injuries. Dr. Hinduja will develop a personalized treatment plan and discuss expected timelines during your consultation, adjusting the approach based on your response to therapy.
