 Softwave Technology is  available in my area. It is supposed to activate the body's natural  healing process. It is supposed to have benefits such as

Temporary increase in blood flow
Promotion of angiogenesis
Modulation of inflammation
Activation of resident stem cells
Restoration of tissue elasticity
Endogenous growth factor activation

Has anyone ever tried this?  Any information would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the Mayo clinic.  It was approved by the FDA last year.  One person on Redditt said all the people offering it in his area were chiropractors and they gave him a half-baked exam and tried to seel him a package deal.

Never heard of Softwave but I did have Shock Wave therapy which are sound waves to treat tissue.  Not covered by insurance but I did it anyway and it worked for my arm which was injured by a flu injection and that resulted in a condition called SIRVA.  7 treatments and no more pain and  strength was restored.  That was 10 weeks ago and still holding!!!
