What is SoftWave therapy?
SoftWave is a treatment that sends sound waves into a sore part of the body. The doctor uses a handheld wand on the outside of your skin. There are no cuts, no needles, no numbing shots and no drugs.
Some search results for this term are about facial skin tightening. This page is about SoftWave therapy for pain, the treatment on our SoftWave therapy service page.
What happens during a session?
- The doctor puts a little gel on your skin over the sore spot.
- Then the doctor moves the wand slowly over the area.
- Most people feel a tapping or buzzing feeling. Some sore spots can feel tender while it runs.
- The treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes for each area.
- There is no downtime. You can go back to work or your normal day right after.
Your first visit takes a bit longer, because the doctor looks at the problem before you get treated.
How many sessions will I need?
Most treatment plans are 3 to 12 visits. Three things set where you land in that range:
- The area being treated. Some parts of the body need more visits than others.
- How bad the injury is. A worse injury usually takes more visits.
- How long you have had it. An old problem usually takes more visits than a new one.
At your first visit, the doctor will tell you how many visits fit your plan and what the total will be.
Does insurance cover it? Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Regular health insurance: it does not cover SoftWave.
Personal injury and workers' comp: if you were hurt in an accident or at work, these cases cover SoftWave most of the time. Tell our front desk about your case when you call.
HSA and FSA: you can use your HSA or FSA to pay for SoftWave. These accounts let you pay for medical care with money that is not taxed. The IRS explains the rules in Publication 969. If you are not sure your account covers SoftWave, call the company that runs it.
Why does SoftWave cost what it does?
A few plain reasons:
- It uses its own machine. SoftWave is done with a special device made for this treatment.
- A doctor plans your care. You pay for the doctor's time and exam, not just the machine.
- It is a series, not one visit. Most of the cost comes from the number of visits in your plan. That is why a treatment plan costs less per visit ($150) than paying as you go ($200).
When you compare prices, compare the same thing. Put our total plan price next to the total for any other care you are thinking about. Count the costs people forget, too, like time off work, gas and extra follow-up visits. SoftWave visits are short and need no recovery time, which can matter if you work full time.
Who is SoftWave for?
Our SoftWave service page lists problems like these:
- Tendinitis
- Plantar fasciitis (heel and foot pain)
- Joint problems
- Muscle pain and injuries
The same page says athletes and people living with long-term pain come in for it. It is not right for everyone. After your exam, the doctor tells you if SoftWave fits your problem. If your pain is in your back, our back pain treatment page in Germantown explains how the doctor looks at that first. For more background, read our guide to the benefits of SoftWave therapy.
