SoftWave Therapy in Midland MI

SoftWave Therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate healing at the cellular level. It targets injured tissue, improves blood flow, and activates your body’s natural repair response.

At True Motion Chiropractic Group, SoftWave Therapy helps patients who want real tissue healing, not short term symptom relief.

If you are dealing with chronic pain, a stubborn injury, or slow recovery, this therapy may help your body respond when other treatments have stalled.

Stop managing pain and start repairing damaged tissue with SoftWave Therapy that activates your body’s natural healing response.

How SoftWave Therapy Works

SoftWave delivers broad focused acoustic waves into the affected area. These waves:

  • Increase blood circulation
  • Stimulate stem cell activity
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Promote tissue repair

The treatment reaches both surface level and deeper structures without injections or surgery.

Each session is performed in the office and takes only a few minutes per area.

Conditions SoftWave Therapy Can Help

SoftWave Therapy is commonly used for:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tennis elbow
  • Shoulder pain
  • Knee pain
  • Hip pain
  • Low back pain
  • Tendonitis
  • Ligament injuries
  • Neuropathy symptoms

If you have an injury that is not healing or pain that keeps returning, this treatment may be a strong option.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your visit begins with a focused exam to identify the exact tissue involved. Treatment is then applied directly to the affected area using a handheld applicator.

You may feel mild discomfort during the session, especially over injured tissue. This often decreases as healing improves.

Many patients report noticeable changes within a few visits. Treatment plans vary based on the condition and how long symptoms have been present.

SoftWave Therapy FAQ: Common Questions from Midland Patients

Does it hurt?

Most patients feel a mild pressure or brief discomfort during treatment, particularly over tissue that is actively injured. That sensation tends to ease as the area heals across sessions. It is not painless for everyone, but it is tolerable for the vast majority of patients, and no injections or anesthesia are involved.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on how long the problem has been present and how your body responds. Acute injuries typically require fewer sessions than chronic conditions that have been building for months or years. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within three to six visits. Dr. Madigan will give you a realistic treatment timeline after your initial exam, not a generic number pulled from a pamphlet.

What conditions respond best to SoftWave?

The conditions we see respond well are those involving soft tissue that has failed to fully heal on its own: plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, shoulder impingement, knee pain, and chronic low back pain are among the most common. If you have been dealing with an injury that keeps returning or has plateaued with other care, that pattern is often a good indicator that SoftWave is worth evaluating. You can read more about how it specifically applies to heel and foot pain in our SoftWave and plantar fasciitis post.

Is it safe to combine SoftWave with chiropractic care?

Yes, and that is often how we use it. At True Motion Chiropractic Group, SoftWave is typically part of a broader plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, functional movement work, or laser therapy depending on what your case calls for. The therapies complement each other because they address different parts of the same problem.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed. You can schedule directly with us. If you have questions before booking, give us a call and we can help you figure out whether SoftWave is a reasonable fit before you come in.
