SoftWave TRT uses gentle acoustic waves to increase blood flow and activate your body's natural healing response, with no drugs, injections, surgery or downtime.
Conditions Treated
Softwave TRT is effective across a wide range of musculoskeletal and degenerative conditions. If you've been told you need surgery, cortisone shots, or are simply living with chronic pain — Softwave TRT may be the alternative you've been looking for.

The Process
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.
Ultrasound-grade coupling gel is applied to the treatment area to ensure smooth transmission of acoustic waves through the skin with no discomfort.
The handheld SoftWave 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.
Many patients notice less pain within a day or two. Because SoftWave supports your body's own repair process, improvement often continues for 8–12 weeks after treatment.
The Technology
SoftWave TRT is a form of shockwave therapy 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" shockwave devices that only reach a 2cm × 2cm area of tissue, SoftWave's patented parabolic reflector produces a true parallel acoustic wave covering 7cm × 12cm — reaching deeper tissue more effectively and comfortably without causing microtrauma.
The Softwave TRT OrthoGold 100 is manufactured by Tissue Regeneration Technologies (TRT), founded in 2004 and headquartered in Kennesaw, GA. It holds FDA 510(k) clearance and is trusted by Cleveland Clinic, Shepherd's Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and professional sports organizations including the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Steelers.
