SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology vs. Steroid Injections for Knee Arthritis: Superior, Long-Lasting Relief at Hoang Chiropractic Center

Published June 21st, 2024 by InnerSun Family Chiropractic

Knee arthritis is a common condition that can cause significant pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. At Hoang Chiropractic Center, Dr. Kim Hoang, Dr. Kimberly Trainor, and Dr. Hayley Meyers offer an advanced, non-surgical solution for treating knee arthritis through SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. This innovative therapy provides effective, long-lasting relief and promotes natural healing, making it a superior alternative to steroid injections.

Understanding Knee Arthritis

Stages of Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis progresses through several stages, each with increasing severity:

  • Stage 1 (Minor): Minor wear and tear in the knee joint with little to no pain or discomfort.
  • Stage 2 (Mild): Noticeable bone spurs and increased pain, especially after long periods of activity.
  • Stage 3 (Moderate): Cartilage erosion, frequent pain, swelling, and stiffness, limiting joint mobility.
  • Stage 4 (Severe): Severe cartilage loss, "bone-on-bone" contact, significant pain, and substantial loss of joint function.

Causes and Symptoms of Knee Arthritis

Causes

Knee arthritis can result from various factors, including:

  • Age: The risk of arthritis increases with age.
  • Genetics: Family history of arthritis can predispose individuals to the condition.
  • Injury: Previous knee injuries can contribute to the development of arthritis.
  • Overuse: Repetitive stress on the knee joint from activities or occupations can lead to arthritis.
  • Obesity: Excess weight increases stress on the knee joints, accelerating wear and tear.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of knee arthritis include:

  • Pain: Persistent pain in the knee joint, especially during movement.
  • Stiffness: Difficulty bending or straightening the knee.
  • Swelling: Inflammation and swelling around the knee joint.
  • Decreased Range of Motion: Limited ability to move the knee.
  • Grinding Sensation: A feeling of grinding or clicking within the knee joint.

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology for Knee Arthritis

How SoftWave Therapy Works

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate healing, repair, and regeneration at the cellular level. This non-invasive, drug-free therapy promotes true healing and recovery by:

  • Reducing Inflammation: SoftWave Therapy helps reduce inflammation in the knee joint, alleviating pain and discomfort.
  • Enhancing Blood Flow: By promoting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), SoftWave Therapy improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to the affected area, accelerating the healing process.
  • Activating Stem Cells: SoftWave Therapy stimulates the activation and migration of resident stem cells, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
  • Modulating the Immune Response: The therapy activates toll-like receptors, enhancing the body's immune response and promoting the release of growth factors necessary for healing.
  • Producing VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): VEGF promotes the formation of new blood vessels, further enhancing blood flow and nutrient delivery.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Knee Arthritis

SoftWave Therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals suffering from knee arthritis:

  • Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: SoftWave Therapy provides a safe alternative to surgery and medications, with no downtime.
  • Effective Pain Relief: By reducing inflammation and promoting healing, SoftWave Therapy alleviates pain and discomfort associated with knee arthritis.
  • Improved Function and Mobility: Patients experience improved knee function, reduced stiffness, and enhanced overall mobility.
  • Long-Term Healing: SoftWave Therapy promotes true healing and regeneration, offering lasting relief from knee arthritis symptoms.

SoftWave vs. Steroid Injections for Knee Arthritis

Limitations of Steroid Injections

Steroid injections have been commonly used to provide temporary relief for knee arthritis by reducing inflammation. However, they come with several drawbacks:

  • Temporary Relief: Steroid injections often provide only short-term pain relief, requiring repeated treatments to maintain results.
  • No Healing Properties: Steroid injections do not promote tissue repair or healing, only masking the symptoms.
  • Potential Side Effects: Long-term use of steroid injections can lead to side effects such as weakened tissues, increased risk of infection, and potential damage to the knee joint.

Why SoftWave Therapy is Superior

SoftWave Therapy offers a superior alternative to steroid injections for knee arthritis relief and recovery:

  • Longer-Lasting Relief: SoftWave Therapy promotes true healing and regeneration, providing lasting relief from pain and inflammation.
  • Quicker Pain Relief: Patients often experience immediate pain relief after SoftWave sessions, with continued improvements over time.
  • Natural Healing: By stimulating the body's natural healing processes, SoftWave Therapy enhances tissue repair and regeneration without the need for medications or invasive procedures.
  • No Side Effects: Unlike steroid injections, SoftWave Therapy is free from the risk of side effects, making it a safer and more effective option for long-term health.
