Arthritis can significantly impact your daily life, causing pain and limiting your mobility. At Rittenhouse Square Chiropractic, we are dedicated to offering innovative and effective treatments to help our patients manage arthritis and improve their quality of life. One such promising treatment is Softwave therapy.
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. The most prevalent types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, resulting from the wear and tear of cartilage, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the joints.
What is Softwave Therapy?
Softwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), utilizes high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This non-invasive treatment promotes tissue regeneration, reduces pain, and enhances mobility.
How Does Softwave Therapy Work for Arthritis?
Softwave therapy delivers sound waves to the affected area, increasing blood flow and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. For arthritis patients, this translates to:
- Pain Relief: Softwave therapy helps reduce pain by desensitizing nerve endings and promoting the release of natural pain-relieving substances.
- Improved Mobility: By reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair, Softwave therapy can improve joint function and mobility.
- Non-Invasive Treatment: Unlike surgical options, Softwave therapy is non-invasive, meaning no incisions or lengthy recovery times.
Benefits of Softwave Therapy at Rittenhouse Square Chiropractic
At Rittenhouse Square Chiropractic, we prioritize patient care and effective treatment solutions. Softwave therapy offers several benefits for those suffering from arthritis:
- Quick and Convenient: Treatments are typically quick, lasting about 15-20 minutes per session, with no downtime required.

What to Expect During Softwave Therapy
When you visit Rittenhouse Square Chiropractic for Softwave therapy, you can expect a thorough evaluation to determine the best course of treatment for your arthritis. During the session:
- Initial Assessment: Our experienced doctors and therapists will conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the extent of your arthritis and how it affects your daily life.
- Treatment Session: The Softwave therapy device is applied to the affected area, delivering sound waves to promote healing. You may feel slight discomfort, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
