SoftWave & Laser Therapy

SoftWave & Laser Therapy

SoftWave TRT (Tissue Regeneration Technology) is an FDA-cleared acoustic wave therapy that uses unfocused, low-energy shock waves to trigger a cascade of biological healing responses in damaged tissue. Unlike traditional focused shockwave devices, SoftWave delivers energy across a broader tissue area, activating stem cell recruitment, promoting angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), reducing chronic inflammation, and accelerating the natural repair process in tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. It is particularly effective for conditions that have not responded well to conventional physical therapy, including plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, chronic low back pain, Achilles tendon injuries, and knee osteoarthritis. Dr. Trapasso pairs SoftWave with Class IV cold laser therapy (photobiomodulation) for a synergistic regenerative effect. While SoftWave works at the cellular signaling level to call in stem cells and reduce inflammation, the cold laser penetrates 3 to 5 centimeters into tissue to directly stimulate cellular ATP production, accelerate collagen synthesis, and reduce oxidative stress in injured cells. Together the two modalities address both the mechanical and metabolic dimensions of musculoskeletal healing. SoftWave carries FDA clearance and has been featured in multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies demonstrating measurable tissue regeneration and pain reduction.
