What Happens During a Session?

1

Diagnostic Mapping

Dr. Etemadi uses the Softwave TRT device as a real-time diagnostic tool — the device produces biofeedback to pinpoint the precise origin of your pain, not just the area that hurts.

2

Gel Application

Ultrasound-grade coupling gel is applied to the treatment area to ensure smooth transmission of acoustic waves through the skin with no discomfort.

3

Treatment

The handheld OrthoGold applicator is gently moved across the treatment area. You'll hear a clicking sound as acoustic waves penetrate deep tissue. Sessions typically take 10–15 minutes.

4

Immediate Results

Many patients report measurable pain reduction within 15–20 hours. Stem cell activation peaks at weeks 6–8, with continued tissue regeneration over the following 8–12 weeks.

What Is Softwave TRT?

Softwave TRT is a breakthrough treatment that uses broad-focused electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate your body's own natural healing mechanisms — precisely where you need it most.

Originally developed in Germany and refined over two decades, Softwave TRT works through a process called mechanotransduction — converting mechanical wave energy into biological healing signals at the cellular level. This activates resident stem cells, boosts blood flow through new vessel formation (neoangiogenesis), reduces inflammation, and repairs damaged tissue.

Unlike traditional "radial" shock wave devices that only penetrate 2cm × 2cm of tissue, the Softwave TRT OrthoGold's patented parabolic reflector produces a true parallel acoustic wave covering 7cm × 12cm — reaching deeper tissue more effectively and comfortably without causing microtrauma.

Common Questions About Softwave TRT

Is Softwave TRT painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild clicking or pressure. Over areas of active inflammation, you may feel brief discomfort — Dr. Etemadi refers to this as "pain with purpose" because the biofeedback actually helps identify and target the true source of injury. No anesthesia or numbing is ever required.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients experience meaningful improvement in just 3–6 sessions. Because Softwave TRT stimulates your body's own healing process rather than masking symptoms, results continue to build over the 8–12 weeks following your final treatment. Dr. Etemadi will develop a personalized plan based on your specific condition and goals.
Does insurance cover Softwave TRT?
Softwave TRT is currently a self-pay service. Insurance does not cover it at this time. However, Prestige Spinal Care offers affordable flat-rate packages, and the $49 New Patient Special is the best way to experience the technology and see if it's right for you before committing to a full treatment plan.
How is Softwave TRT different from other shockwave devices?
Most devices on the market produce "radial" waves — pressure waves that only affect 2cm × 2cm of superficial tissue and are not true acoustic shockwaves. The Softwave TRT OrthoGold is the only device in North America that produces an unfocused true shockwave covering 7cm × 12cm. This means deeper penetration, broader coverage, and greater biological effect — backed by over 300 published studies.
Can I combine Softwave TRT with chiropractic care?
Absolutely — and combining them often produces the best outcomes. Many patients at Prestige Spinal Care receive Softwave TRT alongside chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression, creating a comprehensive non-surgical approach to pain and injury recovery.
