Effective Relief Without Surgery
Knee pain can affect your mobility, limit your daily activities, and reduce your overall quality of life. At Sunset Chiropractic in South Tampa, we offer SoftWave therapy — an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve knee pain and accelerate healing from various knee conditions. Whether you’re dealing with chronic discomfort or recovering from a recent injury, SoftWave therapy helps restore your knee function safely and effectively.
What is SoftWave Therapy for Knee Pain?
SoftWave therapy uses low-intensity shockwaves to stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms. This non-surgical treatment delivers targeted acoustic waves to damaged tissues around the knee, promoting increased blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging tissue regeneration. It is a drug-free alternative that supports healing of ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and muscles without the need for invasive procedures.
Understanding Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can arise from many different issues, including:
– Osteoarthritis
– Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)
– Meniscus tears
– Ligament sprains or tears (ACL, MCL)
– Bursitis
– Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome)
These conditions often result from overuse, injury, or age-related wear and tear. If left untreated, knee pain can worsen and severely limit your ability to walk, run, or perform everyday tasks.
