SoftWave Therapy

Legacy Foot & Ankle

Podiatric Medicine & Foot and Ankle Surgeons located in Lapeer, MI & Rochester Hills, MI

At Legacy Foot Center, we’re proud to offer SoftWave Therapy, an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility for a variety of foot and ankle conditions. It leverages high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes — without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery.

Here’s what you need to know about SoftWave Therapy:

How it works: During treatment, safe, high-precision sound waves are applied to the affected area, stimulating increased blood flow, collagen production, and tissue regeneration at the cellular level.
Conditions treated: SoftWave Therapy is highly effective for chronic heel pain (such as plantar fasciitis), Achilles tendon disorders, stress fractures, bursitis, tendonitis, and more.
What to expect: The procedure is non-invasive and typically completed in less than 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. Most patients enjoy noticeable pain relief within a few weeks and can return to regular activities immediately.

Whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or someone seeking relief from chronic foot pain, SoftWave Therapy can help you get back on your feet — faster, safer, and without surgery.

SoftWave Therapy Q&A

Safe and drug-free: No medication is required, and there are no major risks.

What conditions can SoftWave Therapy treat?

SoftWave Therapy is effective for many common foot and ankle problems, including:

Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
Achilles tendonitis
Chronic tendinopathies
Neuropathy-related pain
Stress fractures and slow-healing injuries
Inflammation or overuse injuries
Post-surgical healing support

Is SoftWave Therapy painful?

Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable — similar to a deep tissue massage or tapping sensation. Any discomfort typically decreases as the healing process begins.

How long does each treatment take?

Each session lasts approximately 10–20 minutes, depending on the treatment area. You can resume your normal activities immediately afterward — no downtime required.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions varies by condition and severity. Many patients experience relief after just 1–3 treatments, though chronic cases may require a short series for optimal results.

How soon will I feel results?

Many patients notice a reduction in pain and improved mobility within days of their first session. The body continues to repair and regenerate tissue for weeks following treatment.

Is SoftWave Therapy safe?

Yes. SoftWave Therapy is FDA-cleared and backed by extensive clinical research. It’s a non-invasive, drug-free alternative that promotes natural healing without injections or surgery.
