SoftWave Therapy in San Diego
A safe, non-invasive way to heal hurt tissue, lower pain, and get back to the things you love. No drugs. No surgery. No downtime.
What Is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave therapy is a modern, drug-free way to treat pain and injury. It uses gentle sound waves, called acoustic shockwaves, to reach deep into hurt tissue. These waves kick-start your body’s own repair system. They boost blood flow, calm swelling, and help damaged cells heal.
The result is less pain and faster recovery, with no needles, no drugs, and no surgery. At True Chiropractic in San Diego, SoftWave is a quick and easy part of your care, and many patients feel relief after just a few sessions.

How SoftWave Therapy Works
SoftWave sends safe sound waves into the area that hurts. As the waves move through your tissue, they wake up your body’s healing response.
Blood flow goes up, which brings oxygen and nutrients to the injury. Swelling and inflammation go down. New, healthy tissue starts to form.
Over time, this helps the hurt area work and feel the way it should again.
What Happens During a SoftWave Session
A SoftWave session is simple and comfortable. Here is what to expect.

- We find the spot. First, we locate the area that needs care.
- We add gel. We put a small amount of gel on your skin to help the waves move in.
- We treat the area. We move the SoftWave applicator over the spot. You will feel light pulses as it works.
- We check in. We talk with you along the way so we treat the right areas and track your progress.
Most sessions take about 5 to 10 minutes. Larger areas may take a little longer. There is no anesthesia and no downtime, so you can head right back to your day.
