Softwave by TRT in Meridian
Are you experiencing acute or chronic pain? Perhaps your discomfort is interfering with your ability to participate in your activities of daily living. We are pleased to announce that we have another tool in our toolbox to help patients get out of pain and back to feeling great.
In addition to chiropractic care and our other services, TRT (Tissue Regeneration Technology) Softwave therapy (also known as Acoustic Shockwave Therapy) is a state-of-the-art treatment used to stimulate the body’s natural self-repairing processes. The shock waves that our machine produces penetrate deep into tissue that’s been damaged. This action boosts blood circulation and increases stem cell growth. As a result, there’s a reduction of pain and acute inflammation without producing any additional tissue damage.
How Does It Work?
It’s all about Stem Cells. The TRT Softwave machine works by fooling your body into believing that a new injury has occurred. Your cells membranes are then permeable and RNA is discharged from the damaged cells. RNA then signals your body to transmit stem cells and other “biological responders” to speed up the cellular healing process.
To provide treatment we identify trigger points using our TRT Softwave applicators. These trigger points are indicated by increased pain. With each pulse that occurs with the treatment, your pain level should dissipate. Only the areas of your body that are inflamed or damaged will have an uncomfortable response. We will ask that you communicate your pain levels so we can help get the best outcomes for you.
Afterward, many patients experience an immediate decrease in pain. It’s important to note, however, that any of the following responses can indicate that your treatment was successful:
- Reduced pain
- Increased mobility
- Decreased stiffness
- Decreased acute inflammation
- Improved stability
Although you may feel some soreness after receiving treatment it should subside in a day or two. You should avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Also, avoid using ice or exercising excessively for at least 48 hours. Why? It’s crucial that you give your body time to rest and heal after your treatments.

What happens at the appointment?
The procedure averages 10-20 minutes but may be longer depending on the treatment area and diagnosis. A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated. The applicator produces pulses as the clinician moves around the treatment area. During therapy, communication with the provider is necessary to identify treatment areas and monitor progress.
What should I expect after the treatment?
If you are a candidate for treatment, SoftWave therapy can provide both immediate and long-lasting results. After one SoftWave session, patients typically experience a 20-50% reduction in pain and improvement in mobility, lasting from a few hours to several days. Some patients require multiple sessions before experiencing improvement. Unlike pain medications and injections, SoftWave treatment seeks to activate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level to deliver genuine and long-lasting results.
SoftWave therapy is FDA(510k) cleared for various indications, including improved blood supply, activation of connective tissue, temporary pain relief, treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers, and treatment of acute second-degree burns.
What does it cost and how many treatments would I need?
Treatment plans vary depending on the injury and the body’s response to the treatment. Most patients start with an assessment during a consultation which often includes a trial treatment session to allow patients to experience SoftWave.
