Radial Pressure Wave Therapy

At Lakes Chiropractic, we offer a breakthrough treatment for those suffering from chronic or repetitive pain and injury: Radial Pressure Wave Therapy (RPW) — also known as SoftWave Therapy. This is a natural, non-injectable option to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and restore function without drugs or surgery.

The results are unbelievable — and often feel miraculous.

Using the advanced Chattanooga Intelect® RPW 2, this innovative therapy uses sound waves to trigger your body’s own healing response. Whether you’re managing a sports injury, nerve pain, or long-term joint stiffness, RPW can help you heal from the inside out.

What Is Radial Pressure Wave Therapy?

RPW therapy sends high-speed acoustic waves deep into soft tissue. Your brain reacts by directing stem cells to the area to begin repairing damage. These stem cells already exist in your body, waiting in a dormant state — RPW simply activates them.

In the short term, you’ll feel pain relief and reduced inflammation — often instantly. Over the next 90–120 days, stem cells continue working to repair, rebuild, and regenerate tissue, giving you long-term recovery without invasive procedures.

RPW vs. Traditional Treatments

• Stem cell therapy typically costs thousands of dollars per injection.
• Cortisone shots may offer short-term relief but often require repeated use.
• RPW therapy typically delivers noticeable results in just 4–6 sessions, with optional maintenance treatments every 2 months to keep you feeling your best.
