What is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses broad-focus acoustic wave energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing response in muscles, tendons, and joints. A handheld device delivers that energy to targeted tissue, signaling cells to reduce inflammation and support recovery without needles, surgery, or downtime.

How SoftWave Therapy Works

How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions varies by individual, the area being treated, and how your body responds. Health Plus Mobile recommends a 12-session protocol for most clients, typically one session per week. Many clients notice changes within the first few visits, with continued progress building over the full course of treatment.
Is SoftWave Therapy Safe?
SoftWave Therapy is well-tolerated by most adults and has a strong safety profile. Nothing enters the body. The treatment uses acoustic energy levels that are non-invasive by design and does not require anesthesia or a surgical environment.
Every Health Plus Mobile client begins with a Teladoc physician assessment, and all sessions are conducted under the clinical oversight of Dr. Doug Jordan, DC. This ensures the therapy is appropriate before treatment begins.
When SoftWave Therapy May Not Be Recommended
SoftWave vs. ShockWave: What Is the Difference?
Shockwave therapy is often used as a general term for acoustic wave treatments. SoftWave is a specific technology within that category, using broad-focus electrohydraulic waves rather than the high-pressure focused pulses used in traditional shockwave devices. Here is how they compare:
|
Health Plus Mobile
SoftWave Therapy |
Traditional ShockWave | |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Broad-focus electrohydraulic acoustic waves | High-pressure focused pulses |
| Sensation | Mild repetitive tapping. Most clients find it comfortable. | More intense. Some soreness during and after. |
| Session Time | 30 minutes or less | 15–30 minutes |
| Downtime | None. Resume normal activity immediately | Some soreness; varies by protocol |
| Delivery | In-home by Health Plus Mobile, or at our Ballantyne clinic | Clinic-based |
| Oversight | Teladoc assessment + Dr. Doug Jordan, DC | Varies by provider |
The core difference is the wave profile. Traditional shockwave devices apply high-pressure focused pulses, which can feel more intense and may cause soreness during and after treatment. SoftWave uses a broader, lower-intensity pattern that most clients find comfortable, with no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses broad-focus acoustic wave energy to activate the body's natural healing processes in muscles, tendons, and joints. It is FDA 510(k) cleared for pain reduction, improved blood supply, and activation of connective tissue.
Does SoftWave Therapy hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild, repetitive tapping over the treatment area. Discomfort is minimal, and many clients relax during the session. If you experience significant discomfort, your CA will adjust the applicator.
How does SoftWave Therapy work?
SoftWave Therapy delivers broad-focus acoustic waves through the skin to the tissue beneath. Those waves signal the body to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and begin its own repair processes in the targeted area. This is called mechanotransduction, the body converting a physical signal into a healing response. No medication is involved.
How soon will I feel a difference?
Results vary by individual and condition. Many clients notice changes within the first few visits. Continued improvement typically builds over the full course of treatment, as SoftWave Therapy supports the body's own repair timeline.
How long is each session?
Each SoftWave Therapy session with Health Plus Mobile runs 30 minutes or less, depending on the area being treated and your individual plan. Your CA will confirm the expected duration before your session begins.
Who should not have SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is not recommended for everyone. The Teladoc assessment with Dr. Doug Jordan, DC is designed to identify any situations where it may not be appropriate. Generally, it is not recommended during pregnancy, for clients with active cancer near the treatment area, those with blood-clotting disorders or anticoagulant therapy (which require physician review), or individuals with pacemakers or implanted electronic devices near the treatment area.
How many sessions will I need?
Health Plus Mobile recommends a 12-session protocol for most clients, typically one session per week. Many clients notice changes within the first few visits, with continued progress over the full course of treatment. Your plan is established with Dr. Doug Jordan, DC at the start.
Is SoftWave Therapy covered by insurance?
SoftWave Therapy is typically a self-pay service and is not covered by most insurance plans at this time.
Is SoftWave Therapy safe?
SoftWave Therapy is well-tolerated by most adults. It is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has no recovery period. Every Health Plus Mobile client completes a Teladoc assessment with Dr. Doug Jordan, DC before their first session, which is designed to confirm the therapy is appropriate for their situation.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required to book a SoftWave Therapy session with Health Plus Mobile. You begin with a Teladoc assessment, which takes place before your first in-home visit. The assessment confirms whether the therapy is a good fit and ensures your session is set up correctly from the start.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal. Some clients experience mild redness or slight tenderness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours. SoftWave Therapy does not cause bruising or swelling in most cases.
Does SoftWave Therapy actually work?
SoftWave Therapy is FDA 510(k) cleared for musculoskeletal applications and is supported by peer-reviewed research on pain reduction, tissue recovery, and improved circulation.
