Is Softwave the missing link for your young athlete's chronic injuries?
If you have a young athlete, such as a baseball player, gymnast, dancer, cheerleader, football player etc, you know how much they can hurt themselves! Our young athletes are as competitive and talented as ever!
As a sports chiropractor, we see a wonderful amount of young athletes! From low back pain, throwing injuries, ankle sprains, you name it. And most of the time, we are able to get them back to the game.
Unfortunately, there will always be the select athletes that aren't able to recover as quickly as you would like. We typically are working against an uphill battle, since these young athletes practice hours upon hours a week.
So, let me introduce you to Softwave!
Softwave Tissue Regeneration Therapy uses your own healing properties to repair damaged tissue. This is a non-invasive, drug free approach to healing that gets your athletes back to the game faster.
Softwave does 4 main things:
Reduces Pain
Reduces Inflammation
Boosts Blood Flow
Boosts Stem Cells
Well doc, how does it do that?
Let me summarize it for you: Softwave is a form of Shockwave, and Shockwave has been around for years. It has been a widely used therapy among therapists to help induce tissue trauma using soundwaves, helping to repair tissues.
Now Softwave comes along, and uses a larger applicator (so you can reach more surface area), using a broad focused beam, and delivers the treatment in a faster and more effective manner. These soundwaves 'trick' the body into thinking it is injured, without actually causing an injury. This sends blood flow, collagen, stem cells, and other repairman to the site of the injury, promoting long term healing!
If your young athlete has tried chiropractic, has tried physical therapy, massage, and is still in pain, Softwave may be the right course of action for you to try.
It is quick - appointments are only 15 minutes long, and treatment itself takes less than 5 minutes
It is effective - 90% of patients see a 60-90% improvement
It is affordable - compared to injections, rehab, and surgery, Softwave can be an affordable option
There is NO downtime! While we don't want your athlete to compete in the biggest game of their life the next day, we say they can stick to the status quo with what they are doing
We recommend Softwave for the following injuries in young (and old!) athletes
Throwing pain - elbow or shoulder pain
Tendonitis
Shoulder pain
Osgood Schlatter Disease
Sever's Disease
Neck and Back Pain
Knee Pain
Ankle Pain and Strains
Muscle Injuries
And More!
Get your athlete back to the game quicker, with an enhanced performance, accelerated recovery, and increased mobility and strength!
