natural healing process. Patients experience the transformative benefits, including:
Increased blood supply
Promotion of angiogenesis
Modulation of inflammation
Activation of resident stem cells
Restoration of tissue elasticity
Endogenous growth factor activation
SoftWave’s patented parabolic reflector applicator design generates a primary and secondary
wave that spreads energy to a large area of both superficial and deep tissue. The flexible elastic
membrane adapts optimally to the treatment area and solicits a biological response without causing microtrauma.
SoftWave’s device penetrates a 7cm x 12cm area with a TRUE SHOCK WAVE. (Compared to
2cm x 2cm area for Radial which is NOT A TRUE SHOCK WAVE and 1cm x 12cm area for other focused devices.)
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary
medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need
for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.

MECHANISM OF ACTION
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
Shockwaves are characterized by jump change in pressure, high amplitude and non-periodicity.
The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by compressed air, is transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and further into the tissue.
MEDICAL EFFECTS
New Blood Vessel Formation
Nutrient blood flow is necessary to start and maintain the repair processes of damaged tissue structure. The application of acoustic waves creates capillary microruptures in tendon and bone. Due to microruptures the expression of growth factors such as eNOS, VEGF, PCNS and BMP is significantly increased.
As a result of these processes arterioles are remodeled, stimulated to grow and new ones are formed. The new blood vessels improve blood supply and oxygenation of the treated area and support faster healing of both the tendon and the bone.
Reversal of Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory response is not completely halted. It can damage healthy tissue and results in chronic pain. Mast cells are one of the key components of the inflammatory process. Their activity may be increased by using pervasive acoustic waves.
Mast cell activation is followed by the production of chemokines and cytokines. These pro-inflammatory compounds first enhance the inflammatory process and in the next step help restore normal healing and regenerative processes.
Stimulation of Collagen Production
The production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for the repair processes of the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures. Shockwave therapy accelerates procollagen synthesis. The therapy forces the newly created collagen fibers into a longitudinal structure which makes the newly formed tendon fibers more dense and stiff and creates a firmer structure.
