The Knee
Nearly all knee injuries – whether meniscus, ligament, cartilage – can be successfully treated with SoftWave.
Do you have knee pain? Did you injure your knee – recently or perhaps a long time ago? Told you need surgery? Have already had surgery – recently, or in the past? It’s never easy dealing with knee pain – you pretty much feel it all the time, with nearly all movements throughout your day.
Have you been given the diagnosis of ‘bone-on-bone’ (i.e. you’re being told there’s “no cartilage, no meniscus” – this is rarely, if ever, true), or maybe told that you need knee surgery? (or worse, knee replacement surgery? Although hip replacement goes relatively well, knee replacement often ends up … a mess – super low patient satisfaction/outcomes).
Surgery may not be necessary.
Types of knee problems:
Arthritis
Ligament injuries
Meniscus injuries
Cartilage damage
Every tissue in and around the knee joint – ligaments, cartilage, meniscus – responds well to SoftWave TRT (this is why it’s called tissue regeneration therapy). SoftWave is a noninvasive therapy for the treatment of many conditions and diseases where regenerative effects are desired, and when other treatment therapies have failed. The combination effect on the injured tissues involved – decreased inflammation, increased blood supply (new blood vessels), and activation and migration of resident stem cells creates an extraordinary healing environment for ligaments, cartilage, and bone within the knee.
There is often no downtime for athletes during the treatment cycle – they can continue to workout, even compete. This is why SoftWave is used by every professional sports organization and their respective teams – NBA, MLB, NFL, professional soccer, UFC.
SoftWave is used and trusted by top university, research and medical centres around the world. In Europe, SoftWave is known as Spark Wave, manufactured by the same company in Germany – MTS Medical.
‘ESWT is effective in reducing pain and improving knee function, with better results than placebo during the 12-wk treatment. We found no adverse events during and after ESWT.’

SoftWave increases blood supply, decreases inflammation, restores tissue elasticity, and stimulates endogenous growth factor activation, causing activation and migration of resident stem cells resulting in new tissue growth – and a healed, pain-free return-to-normal functioning knee.
Take care of yourself. Do what’s right – you can always resort to having surgery. Using SoftWave TRT for healing/repairing your knee is truly an opportunity that shouldn’t be overlooked. The research is solid in it’s clinical benefits and with no adverse effects.
‘Differences in 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment were statistically significant compared with that before treatment. Gait analysis suggested differences in 50 m walk time, walking speed, swing phase, and stance phase 8 weeks after treatment were statistically significant compared with that before treatment. We discovered after a 6-month follow-up that, ESWT could alleviate knee joint pain and recover the knee joint function.’

SoftWave Treatment:
The in-office treatment is about 10 minutes
The results are long-lasting
The treatment are is determined through history, palpation, x-ray findings, and diagnosis
ultrasound gel is used over the treatment area
The quantity and intensity can vary depending on the indication
Treatment usually consists of four to six week sessions over 4 weeks
No adverse effects
Importantly, SoftWave has the unique feature of ‘diagnostic mapping’ - using the shock wave pulses to identify the area of injury/inflammation that requires treatment.
