Shockwave Therapy
What is SoftWave TRT?
SoftWave TRT stands for SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technologies. SoftWave TRT is the company that offers the only unfocused true shock wave technology device.
What is SoftWave Therapy and What makes it Differ from Shockwave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a treatment involving SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology that applies short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy (in the form of a shock wave) into soft-tissue that is injured, scarred, contains adhesions, is painful, or inflamed. SoftWave is currently the only company that offers unfocused true shock wave technology in their devices.
The therapy that is provided by a SoftWaveTRT device has a wider and deeper therapeutic energy zone than other ESWT devices on the market. This results in greater healing as the energy is spread over a vastly larger and deeper area.
What can it Treat?
