Start Healing with SoftWave Therapy at The Fix in Wilmington, NC!

Your initial visit, known as Discovery Day, is a critical first step in your therapy journey. During this session, we employ a sophisticated device to scan your body. Typically, healthy tissues emit no biofeedback signal. However, when the scanner detects areas affected by damage, inflammation, arthritis, scar tissue, or poor circulation, a distinct biofeedback response is triggered. This response is a strong indicator that you are an ideal candidate for our treatment.

The correlation between a positive biofeedback signal and successful treatment outcomes is well-documented, with an effectiveness rate of 65-91% for musculoskeletal conditions.

SoftWave Therapy is highly effective in addressing a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, from acute to chronic ailments. It effectively treats back pain, various disc conditions, knee pain from arthritis to runner's knee, foot issues like plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma, ankle sprains, hip pain, IT band syndrome, neck pain and headaches, shoulder problems including rotator cuff injuries, elbow pain from tennis to golfer’s elbow, and hand and wrist pain including arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also beneficial for sports injuries, overuse injuries, and many other prevalent conditions.

Groundbreaking Advanced Shockwave Technology for Healing!

To start, SoftWaveTRT OrthoGold is backed by over 46 patents! Unlike ultrasound or electrical stimulation, SoftWave is in a class of its own! It produces potent shock waves that initiate the body's natural regenerative processes at the cellular level!

SoftWaves are generated by a high-energy electrical discharge in water, where voltage is released between two electrode tips (positive and negative). This discharge generates a spark gap, which stabilizes the voltage and creates a hot plasma bubble. The bubble bursts, applying pressure to the surrounding water, and generates a force greater than 10 MPa in just nanoseconds.

With our patented parabolic reflector applicator, SoftWave delivers low intensity, yet broadly focused energy in parallel waves. This positions SoftWave technology as a market leader in BROAD FOCUSED SHOCK WAVE therapy. Thanks to its electrohydraulic shock wave mechanism, which functions more efficiently in water than in air, it achieves deep therapeutic effects without causing microtrauma.

Discover superior healing across a broader and deeper treatment area!

Shock waves are intense acoustic pulses that manifest as a rapid surge in pressure, quickly reaching a high peak followed by a relatively modest decrease in pressure (tensile wave).

Conversely, radial pressure waves are acoustic pulses produced pneumatically and characterized by a more gradual pressure increase, leading to a slower peak and a broader decrease in pressure (tensile wave). These waves are relatively superficial, delivering their maximum energy and pressure right at the surface of the applicator.

Ultrasound waves are composed of continuous vibrations within a specific frequency range and do not exhibit the significant peak pressure and rapid onset that define shock waves.

Radial Pressure Wave therapy, distinct from true shock wave therapy, treats only surface-level conditions with a narrow energy field approximately 2 cm wide and 2 cm deep, akin to the volume of five stacked nickels. Radial pressure waves lose energy more quickly as they move away from their source, generated by a pneumatic system that accelerates a projectile which then abruptly stops within a transmitter, transferring the energy to the target area, though this energy diminishes in intensity deeper within the tissue.

SoftWave Therapy, featuring a patented parabolic reflector, is a standout in shock wave technologies. It combines the effectiveness of electrohydraulic shock wave production with an innovative applicator design that disperses this energy broadly and deeply. This technique offers several substantial advantages:

• The area impacted by the therapeutic energy is significantly larger (7 cm wide by 12 cm deep, comparable to a soup can), enhancing treatment effectiveness and reducing the number of sessions required.
• Unlike radial treatments, SoftWave does not rely on creating micro injuries to prompt healing. Instead, it gently stimulates cells to release microvesicles, initiating a quick and safe healing response without skin damage.
• SoftWave's approach is scientifically proven to attract and activate the body's own stem cells.
• Additionally, SoftWave can be used diagnostically to accurately identify sources of pain through biofeedback, improving the precision and effectiveness of treatments.
