New SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology: a pain-free pain-management option
SoftWave’s patented sound wave therapy is an exciting treatment option in the field of regenerative medicine. Dr. Bob Baravarian utilizes this regenerative technology to treat conditions of the foot and ankle.
This FDA-approved, non-invasive technology accelerates your body’s natural healing processes, facilitating a rapid recovery from bone and soft tissue injuries. This revolutionary technology starts working in a single visit and is performed in the comfort of Dr. Bob’s offices.
Dr. Baravarian is proud to be one of the select few California practices to offer this new form of shockwave therapy.
SoftWave is a type of extracorporeal shock wave device (ESWT). Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic waves through the skin to the injured tissue. The high-energy shockwaves trigger your body to begin healing the injured area. This technology is used in orthopedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology, and even veterinary medicine. Its main benefits are fast pain relief and restored mobility.
The great thing about SoftWave is that it represents an updated and improved form of shockwave therapy. This technology provides superior penetration and waveforms for healing compared to other available ESWT devices. It is a shockwave on steroids!
The procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes, depending on the nature of the problem and the size of the treatment area. Dr. Bob will first apply a gel to the treatment area of the skin. Then, he uses the specially designed applicator to produce pulses that move harmlessly through the skin to the damaged tissue.
Does SoftWave hurt?
SoftWave is a painless procedure that doesn’t require needles, anesthesia, or numbing agents. It also requires no downtime — you’ll be back to your daily activities right away.
Does SoftWave therapy have side effects?
SoftWave has no known significant side effects; however, some patients may experience mild redness around the treatment area.
This drug-free therapy is so effective that patients rarely require more than three visits to achieve long-lasting pain relief. When Dr. Bob sees patients for follow-up, many who have been treated with this therapy report obtaining near-complete pain relief after just one or two visits. It is exceeding expectations.
What conditions are successfully treated with SoftWave Acoustic Therapy?
SoftWave has demonstrated great success in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, including:
- Plantar fascia
- Tendon injuries like Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, and rotator cuff
- Delayed bone healing
- Stress fractures
- Improving blood supply
- Heel pain
- Ulcers
- Prior non-healing surgeries
- Chronic pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Activating connective tissue
How does SoftWave Acoustic Wave Therapy work?
When administered over your injured area, SoftWave technology tricks your body into thinking that it has been re-injured. This prompts the release of resident stem cells and biological markers from the treated area, triggering the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level.
When you sustain an injury, it causes some cells to be damaged or to die, breaking down their outer membrane and releasing intracellular RNA fragments from the damaged tissue to the surrounding tissues. The presence of free RNA fragments prompts the surrounding healthy tissue to activate natural healing mechanisms such as:
The presence of free RNA fragments prompts the surrounding healthy tissue to activate natural healing mechanisms such as:
- Boosting the immune response
- Prompting the growth of new blood vessels
- Attracting stem cells to stimulate tissue regeneration
By recruiting all of these “reinforcements,” the free RNA fragments put the body’s healing process into overdrive, which not only helps reduce pain and swelling but also speeds up your overall healing time. SoftWave ingeniously triggers a natural healing response without killing or damaging the host cells.
Leading medical institutions and sports teams endorse SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave Acoustic has been used with outstanding results for over a decade by leading medical institutions and top sports teams in the United States and Europe, helping thousands of patients to heal in record time. These include:
Prestigious institutions such as the Hospital for Special Surgery, UCSF Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic, Baylor College of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, and the Shepherd Center have all reported great success in treating a wide range of orthopedic injuries with SoftWave Acoustic Therapy.
What’s more, leading sports medicine doctors behind teams such as the L.A. Lakers, the Chicago Cubs, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Cleveland Indians have been using SoftWave to treat their injured athletes, transition them sooner into physical therapy, improve their range of motion, and return them to sports in record time.
Dr. Baravarian SoftWave promises and guarantees
Dr. Baravarian is so confident in the SoftWave treatment and his protocol that he offers a guarantee. Sign up for five sessions of SoftWave to treat your heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and/or Achilles tendonitis. If you don’t have complete resolution of your pain, he will perform a free platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for you.
Dr. Baravarian knows he can help you improve and get back to your life, and he will put his reputation and his money on the line. We’re that confident in this technology.
SoftWave TRT is also used to treat back pain, shin splints, shoulder pain, knee pain, and various sports injuries.
Why is Dr. Baravarian your best choice for shock wave therapy and regenerative medicine?
Dr. Bob firmly believes that most conditions should initially be treated conservatively and non-surgically, using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. In his experience, “conservative treatment modalities” deliver excellent results well over 80% of the time.
Occasionally, when conservative treatments do not work as well as expected, other advanced non-invasive treatments become necessary.
That is when regenerative therapy treatment options such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), Amniotic Fluid Allograft, amniotic stem cell therapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy (PRP therapy), or Prolotherapy might be appropriate.
Dr. Baravarian has decades of experience utilizing regenerative medicine and is an internationally recognized expert in the field, specializing in the treatment of foot and ankle conditions.
