About Softwave Healing
A dedicated SoftWave Therapy center in Akron, built around one technology rather than a long menu of services.
Why We Do One Thing
Most of the people who walk through our door have already been somewhere else. They've had the cortisone shot that lasted three weeks. They've finished the physical therapy that plateaued. They've been told to wait until they're old enough for a joint replacement.
We built this practice around one technology instead of adding a device to a long menu of services. That focus is the whole point. When a clinic treats everything, you have no way to tell whether it's good at the thing you came in for.
Every visit starts by mapping where the inflammation actually is, so treatment goes to the tissue instead of the guess. Not everyone responds, and we'll tell you that up front.
What Sets Our Approach Apart
Focused, Not Radial
We use an FDA-cleared OrthoGold 100, which produces true electrohydraulic broad-focused acoustic waves. Radial devices spread a pressure wave near the surface. Ours reaches deeper tissue across a wider zone.
We Map Before We Treat
Your first visit is a mapping scan. The wand stays quiet over healthy tissue and reacts over hidden inflammation, so you see where the problem sits before you commit to a course of sessions.
Straight Talk on Evidence
The research is strong for plantar fasciitis, Achilles and patellar tendon problems, and tennis elbow. It's thinner for neuropathy and knee arthritis. We'll tell you which side of that line your condition sits on.
The Practical Details
- Where we are
- 215 Springside Dr., Akron, Ohio, in the Montrose and Fairlawn medical corridor. Patients come in from Bath, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls, Medina, and Canton.
- How treatment works
- Non-invasive acoustic wave therapy. No surgery, no injections, no anesthesia, and no recovery period, so people go back to work straight from the appointment.
- What it costs
- The discovery and mapping visit runs $49 to $99. Sessions run $150 to $250 per treatment area, and packages run $1,200 to $3,200 depending on severity.
- Insurance
- Acoustic wave therapy isn't a covered benefit in the US, so care here is cash-based. It is HSA and FSA eligible.
See If You're a Candidate
The mapping visit tells you whether your pain responds, before you spend money on a package.
