💡 SoftWave is especially effective for chronic conditions that have not responded well to rest, medication, or conventional therapy.
SoftWave Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity acoustic (sound) waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing and repair mechanisms. These sound waves are delivered through a handheld applicator and travel safely through the skin to reach injured or painful tissue—without needles, medication, or surgery.
When the acoustic waves enter the tissue, they create a mechanical signal that increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and activates the body’s regenerative response at a cellular level. This includes stimulating stem cells and promoting the formation of new blood vessels, which helps damaged or chronically irritated tissue begin healing again. Many pain conditions persist because the body becomes “stuck” in a non-healing state—SoftWave helps restart that process.
SoftWave therapy is commonly used for joint pain, tendon and ligament injuries, muscle strains, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and require little to no downtime. By supporting the body’s own ability to repair and regenerate, SoftWave Shockwave Therapy offers a safe, effective option for long-term pain relief and improved function.
TESTIMONIALS
“I had swelling resulting from hand tendonitis and had had some luck with acupuncuture years before so decided to visit Dr. Ito. I found him to be very good in spending time with me to really get a sense of me holistically before jumping in and performing the acupuncture. He also gave me good advice about how to keep my hands from swelling in the future. I was amazed at how fast the treatment worked. The swelling was down by 70% the next day and within 2 days was completely gone. I wouldn't hesitate going back to Dr. Ito for further treatments. I found him to be caring, professional and was really surprised when he called me the next day to see how I was feeling- that's something that's pretty rare these days!” - Judith T.
“A true healer. Endured six months of incapacitating shoulder pain before finding Dr. Ito after seeing a DO, an orthopedic doctor, and even another acupuncturist. He combines many different tools, not just sticking in needles and leaving you lay there for the whole session.
Dr. Ito's openness and encouragement of complimentary healing modalities have been a huge blessing and he is truly thorough, touching also on the mind-body component to help us learn to tap into our bodies' own capacity and desire to heal.” - C.S.L.
