SoftWave Therapy in Fort Myers for Joint and Tendon Pain

SoftWave uses gentle sound waves to wake up the body's own healing in a sore knee, heel or shoulder. No needles. No pills. No time off work.

We think most people with nagging pain should try this before they book a surgery consult. Start with a $49 mapping session and see if you are a good fit.

What SoftWave is · 57 sec

What is SoftWave therapy?

SoftWave is a machine that sends sound waves into tissue. Your body reads those waves as a signal to repair.

The clinic's materials say the waves may lower swelling, boost blood flow and turn on stem cells (cells that can grow into new tissue). SoftWave devices have FDA 510(k) clearance for some uses, such as improving blood supply and activating connective tissue (the bands that hold joints together).

A 2021 research review reports success rates of 65% to 91% for shockwave across tendon and soft tissue problems (Yue and colleagues, BioMed Research International). See what the research says.

This is not a cure for everything. It is a tool. For many stubborn aches, we think it is a smart one to try first.

Who can SoftWave help?

We see people with pain in many spots. These are the ones listed on our site:

The clinic also lists psoriasis.

Picture a retiree in Iona who loves walking Fort Myers Beach but now stops after ten minutes because of heel pain. Or a pickleball player whose elbow aches after every game. Those are the people who often call us.

Dr. Lee's shoulder story · 56 sec

Dr. Lee Angle

Why did Dr. Lee bring SoftWave to Fort Myers?

Dr. Lee Angle, D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic), runs Upper Cervical Health Centers on McGregor Blvd. He tried SoftWave on his own shoulder before he offered it to patients. Watch him tell the story in his own words.

He has 18 years in practice and holds Florida license CH11021.

Your SoftWave sessions are run by Matthew Mahoney, our SoftWave technician.

What does a SoftWave visit feel like?

  1. Mapping. We move the wand over the sore area to find the spots that react. This shows us where to treat.
  2. Treatment. Gel goes on your skin. The wand taps over the area. Most people feel a light thump or pressure. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Back to your day. You can drive home and go to work.

How many SoftWave sessions will I need?

Our usual plan is 6 to 8 sessions over about 6 to 8 weeks. Some people need fewer. Some need more. We will tell you what we think after your mapping.

Patients often report they feel a change within the first few visits, but every body is different and we will not promise a result.

What do Fort Myers patients say about SoftWave?
