SoftWave Therapy at Soul Acupuncture & Herbal: Modern Regenerative Care Meets Traditional Chinese Medicine
At Soul Acupuncture & Herbal, we believe in helping the body's natural healing process. For years we have used Traditional Chinese Medicine — acupuncture, tuina, cupping, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance — to restore balance and relieve pain. We are now pleased to offer SoftWave therapy, a modern, non-invasive technology that fits naturally with our TCM approach.
What Is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave is a patented form of electrohydraulic shockwave therapy (also called acoustic wave or tissue regeneration therapy). It delivers gentle, broad-focused energy waves into the body. These waves stimulate the body’s own repair processes without surgery, needles, drugs, or downtime.Unlike some older shockwave devices that focus energy in a very small point, SoftWave uses a unique parabolic design. This creates a wider and deeper treatment zone (approximately 7 cm wide by 12 cm deep), allowing it to reach both superficial and deeper tissues comfortably.
How SoftWave Works
The energy from SoftWave:
Improves local blood flow and circulation
Helps modulate inflammation
Encourages the release and activity of the body’s own regenerative cells
Supports tissue repair and reduces pain signals
Treatments are typically short (about 5–10 minutes per area) and most people describe the sensation as a gentle tapping or pulsing. No anesthesia is needed, and you can return to normal activities right away.
Supported by Research and Trusted by Elite Athletes
SoftWave therapy is backed by a large body of scientific research, with more than 200 peer-reviewed studies examining its effects on tissue healing, blood flow, inflammation, and pain reduction.
It is also used by many leading sports organizations and medical teams that care for elite athletes. Professional teams and leagues across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, NCAA, PGA, and UFC have incorporated SoftWave into their recovery and treatment protocols.
Orthopedic specialists who work with top-level athletes regularly use it to help players recover from musculoskeletal injuries and return to competition more effectively.
This real-world use by high-performance athletes and the supporting research give us additional confidence in offering SoftWave as a complementary option alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine at our clinic.
Conditions SoftWave Can Help
SoftWave Therapy is commonly used for:
Acute and chronic pain (musculoskeletal; knee, shoulder, back, neck, elbow, hip)
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Tendon and ligament issues (Achilles, rotator cuff, tennis/golfer’s elbow)
Soft-tissue injuries and overuse problems
Neuropathy-related discomfort
Scar tissue and adhesions
Support for non-healing wounds or slower recovery
Many of these are the same conditions we already address successfully with acupuncture and TCM.
SoftWave + Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Natural Partnership
In Chinese medicine we talk about improving qi and blood flow, reducing stagnation, and supporting the body’s innate ability to recover. SoftWave works on a similar principle — it encourages better circulation and activates the body’s own repair mechanisms.When we combine the two:
SoftWave can quickly improve local blood flow and reduce inflammation in a specific area
Acupuncture and tuina can address the broader energetic pattern, surrounding meridians, and overall constitution
Herbal formulas or topical applications can further support the healing process
The result is often faster relief and more complete recovery than either approach alone
This integrated model lets us treat both the “branch” (the painful or injured area) and the “root” (the underlying imbalance).
What to Expect at Our Clinic
We begin with a thorough TCM assessment and discussion of your goals.
If SoftWave is appropriate, we explain exactly what will happen and answer any questions.
Treatment is performed by our trained practitioners in a calm clinic setting.
Sessions are short and comfortable. Most people need a series of treatments (commonly 3–6, spaced about a week apart), depending on the condition.
We often combine SoftWave with acupuncture or other TCM modalities in the same or follow-up visits for best results.
SoftWave is FDA-cleared for several indications related to blood flow, connective tissue activation, and temporary pain relief. As with any therapy, individual results vary, and we will always discuss whether it is suitable for your specific situation.
Is SoftWave Right for You?
SoftWave may be a good option if you:
Prefer non-invasive, drug-free approaches
Have tried other treatments with limited success
Want faster support for tissue healing while continuing acupuncture or herbal care
Are looking for a modern tool that still respects the body’s natural intelligence
It is not a replacement for proper diagnosis or for the foundational work of TCM. Rather, it is an additional tool we can use when it makes sense for your case.

If you’re dealing with stubborn pain, a slow-healing injury, or a condition that hasn’t fully responded to other treatments, SoftWave therapy may be a valuable addition to your care.At Soul Acupuncture & Herbal, we don’t just offer SoftWave as a standalone treatment.
