Evidence-Based Studies on ShockWave Therapies for Soft Tissue Conditions Show Success

Musculoskeletal injuries, aka soft tissue conditions, are painful and frustrating to manage. Studies of ShockWave Therapy upon soft tissue conditions are offering very positive results for these issues. Common soft tissue conditions include sprains, strains, contusions, tendinitis, bursitis, and synovitis. These musculoskeletal injuries often create swelling, pain, bruising, and even loss of function in the affected areas of the body. These kinds of painful injuries can occur from exercise or even due to simple daily activities. Any part of your body may suffer from soft tissue injuries, but the most common areas for these types of issue include knees, ankles, wrists and calves. For example, tennis elbow is a very common type of musculoskeletal injury,

Clinical studies reported by BRJ Sports Med including patients with soft tissue conditions states, “There is evidence for the benefit of Focused ESWT and of RPT (Radial Pulse Wave) in a number of soft tissue musculoskeletal conditions, and evidence that both treatment modalities are safe. There is evidence that F-ESWT is effective in the treatment of plantar fasciitis, calcific tendinitis, and that RPT is effective in plantar fasciitis.” 

 In our practices using SoftWave Therapy, we’ve worked with many patients successfully treating soft tissue conditions, with results as fast as during their first visit. Using ShockWave Therapy for treatment of these common, painful conditions is now being extensively used by our practice and others across the US in successfully treating musculoskeletal injuries. SoftWave Therapy is surgery-free, drug-free and injection-free.
