SoftWave vs. Steroid Injections: A Better Solution for Arthritis, Tendinitis, and Bursitis at Hoang Chiropractic Center

Published May 17th, 2024 by Hoang Chiropractic Center

Arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis are common conditions that cause significant pain and discomfort, often hindering daily activities. Traditionally, steroid injections have been used to provide temporary relief for these conditions. However, at Hoang Chiropractic Center, Dr. Kim Hoang, Dr. Kimberly Trainor, and Dr. Hayley Meyers offer an innovative alternative: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. This comprehensive guide compares SoftWave Therapy with steroid injections, highlighting the benefits of choosing SoftWave for long-term, sustainable relief.

Understanding the Downsides of Steroid Injections

Temporary Relief Only

Steroid injections primarily work by reducing inflammation, which can provide temporary pain relief. However, this relief is often short-lived, and the underlying condition remains untreated. Patients typically require repeated injections to maintain relief, leading to a cycle of temporary fixes without addressing the root cause of the problem.

Lack of Tissue Repair and Healing

Steroid injections do not promote tissue repair or healing. They merely mask the symptoms, allowing the underlying damage to persist. Over time, this can lead to worsening conditions and increased dependency on injections for pain management.

No Regenerative Effects

Unlike regenerative therapies, steroid injections do not stimulate the body's natural healing processes. They fail to promote cellular regeneration or tissue repair, offering no long-term benefits for the affected areas.

Potential Side Effects

Steroid injections come with a range of potential side effects, including:

Weakened immune system: Increasing susceptibility to infections.
Joint damage: Repeated injections can lead to cartilage damage and joint deterioration.
Osteoporosis: Long-term use of steroids can weaken bones.
Increased blood sugar levels: Particularly concerning for diabetic patients.
Weight gain and fluid retention: Leading to additional health complications.
Mood swings and insomnia: Affecting mental well-being.

The SoftWave Advantage: A Conservative, Drug-Free Solution

Promotes True Cellular and Tissue Healing

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate healing at the cellular level. Unlike steroid injections, SoftWave Therapy promotes true cellular and tissue healing, repair, and regeneration. This innovative technology activates the body's natural healing processes, providing long-term, sustainable relief.

Backed by Science and Research

SoftWave Therapy is backed by extensive scientific research, demonstrating its effectiveness in promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. By activating key biological responses, SoftWave Therapy enhances blood flow, stimulates stem cell activity, and promotes the formation of new blood vessels, leading to improved healing outcomes.

Conservative and Non-Invasive

SoftWave Therapy offers a conservative, drug-free, non-surgical, and non-injection solution for pain relief. It is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Long-Term Sustainable Relief

Patients who choose SoftWave Therapy experience long-term, sustainable relief from pain. By addressing the root cause of arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis, SoftWave Therapy provides a lasting solution that promotes overall joint and tissue health.

Patients are increasingly choosing SoftWave Therapy over steroid injections for several reasons:

Effective and Long-Lasting: SoftWave Therapy provides lasting relief by promoting true healing and regeneration.
No Side Effects: Unlike steroid injections, SoftWave Therapy is free from the risk of side effects.
Non-Invasive: SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment with no need for needles or surgery.
