SoftWave Therapy Centennial, CO
- Non-Invasive Treatment
- Supports Natural Healing
- No Downtime
SoftWave Therapy with Dr. Tony Nicholas at Axis Health & Wellness in Centennial, CO is crucial for muscle and joint pain. The usual treatments for this are cortisone injections and anti-inflammatories. But these only last so long and can leave you feeling some nasty side effects. Our SoftWave Therapy treatment is non-invasive and it actually helps to repair the damaged joints and tendons rather than simply alleviating your symptoms.
What Is SoftWave Therapy?
Also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy, SoftWave Therapy is a type of acoustic therapy which sends soundwaves directly into the damaged area. We use a handheld stylus that looks like an ultrasound machine. The treatment is short, painless, and has little to no side effects. It simply feels like a tapping sensation.
How Does SoftWave Therapy Work?
The soundwaves that enter the damaged tissue triggers signals to your brain making it think that the area is being injured. Even though it’s not, this signal still engages your body’s natural repair mechanisms. You’ll get increased blood flow and stem cells sent to the area. These help the tissue to regenerate itself. It comes back healthier and stronger than before.
“I bought this machine because of knee and shoulder pain. That is it. It was just a much better way to treat those conditions than traditional chiropractic on its own, and once it was in the office I stopped doing knees any other way.”
Dr. Tony Nicholas, D.C.Conditions We Treat With SoftWave Therapy in Centennial, CO
We often use SoftWave Therapy on knees and shoulders because those areas tend to be the most impacted during everyday activities. That said, it can be used to treat a variety of damaged tissues and symptoms such as:
- Arthritis
- Tendinopathy and tendinosis
- Torn meniscus
- Plantar fasciitis
- Osgood-Schlatter and Sever’s disease
- Headaches
- Neuropathy
We just need to be cautious if you have a pacemaker or recent cortisone injection. If you do, we’ll simply avoid that area, use the SoftWave Therapy where we can, and use other treatments if needed.
What To Expect At Your First SoftWave Therapy Appointment In Centennial, CO
Every new patient receives an initial consultation in which Dr. Tony Nicholas will discuss your symptoms, any injuries, and your pain level. He’ll likely want to get x-rays and do an exam to determine the root cause of the problem. Then, he’ll determine what the best treatment plan is for you.
A full workup and other treatments could run the first session about 60 to 90 minutes. The SoftWave Therapy, itself, only takes about 10 minutes.
Treatments We Often Combine With SoftWave Therapy
