How SoftWave Heals Naturally

Hello everybody, this is Dr. Aaron Seaton with The Chiropractic Place. Last week we did a video about Softwave, our newest piece of equipment that we brought into the office. We discussed what it does, how it stimulates your own stem cells to kick in and cause tissue regeneration, how it improves blood flow and fixes damaged blood vessels, how it decreases inflammation and also how it breaks up scar tissue and adhesions.

So we've been getting a lot of questions because a lot of patients have been trying our introductory offer, seeing a lot of changes. And so we're getting a lot of questions about, Hey, what does Softwave help? What can it help? Um, so far we've successfully helped people with trigger finger issues, plantar fasciitis, chronic knee pain, chronic shoulder pain or frozen shoulder where they have very limited ranges of motion, chronic back problems from degenerative arthritic changes. We've seen a number of different conditions respond favorably. We've seen people with a formerly torn Achilles tendon have significant improvements in range of motion, decreases in swelling, just better quality of life across the board. Some of the cool things are that we were seeing people where nothing else helped. They've been to their medical doctors, they've seen orthopedics, they've tried injections, they've tried all these things and they're not seeing a significant change in their quality of life.

And that's what we're trying to do with the Softwave. We're not sure if it'll help you 100% but if somebody is in chronic major amounts of pain, what if we can get a 50% improvement in their quality of life , better range of motion, less pain, more time doing the things you love. Maybe it's horseback riding, maybe it's gardening, but that's the kind of change that we're starting to see with our patients with the Softwave technology.

So that is hopefully helps. We are licensed with Softwave to do a number of musculoskeletal conditions, old tears, torn biceps, torn injuries in the shoulder, tears around the knee to help stimulate and facilitate healing in that area. And the cool thing with the Softwave is we're getting your body to do the healing.

I'm not introducing any drugs, I'm not doing any surgeries. We are stimulating your body's own natural mechanisms of healing to try to jumpstart that and get your body to start healing. So that's a pretty cool thing.

It's minimally invasive. We're using what looks like an ultrasound wand on that area to stimulate using these shock waves. Very effective stuff.

So hopefully that answers a few questions about what we can help. If you have still have any questions about, can this help me with this? Give our office a call. We're happy to have a conversation with you and see, do you even want to come in and just try it? But we're happy to answer those questions for you.

Give us a call. I'm Dr. Aaron Seaton at The Chiropractic Place.
