What Is SoftWave Therapy?

Your body already knows how to heal. SoftWave tells it where.

SoftWave delivers electrohydraulic acoustic waves deep into your knee tissue — triggering repair at the cellular level. Stem cell activation. New blood vessel growth. Tissue regeneration. All from a 10-minute, non-invasive session.

It's the same technology used by professional sports organizations and orthopedic specialists. Now available at Trailhead Chiropractic in Glennwood Springs.

FDA-Cleared TechnologyUsed by Pro Sports TeamsNo Surgery Required

Cellular-Level Tissue Repair

Acoustic waves stimulate your body's stem cells to rebuild damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments naturally.

Reduces Inflammation at the Source

Instead of masking pain with medication, SoftWave addresses the actual tissue injury driving your symptoms.

Full Movement Assessment

We don't just treat the joint — we identify the biomechanical patterns that caused the problem in the first place.

The Process

Four steps from pain to the trail.

Evaluation

We identify the exact source of your pain with a functional movement assessment — not just a symptom checklist.

Treatment

The SoftWave device is applied directly to your knee. Sessions take 10–15 minutes. You walk in, you walk out.

Healing Response

Acoustic waves stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and activate your body's own regenerative process.

Results

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within 3–6 treatments. We track your progress every step of the way.

Why SoftWave

How SoftWave stacks up against traditional options.

Cortisone wears off. Surgery carries real risk. Medications manage symptoms, not damage. SoftWave addresses the tissue injury directly.

Cortisone shots wear off — and repeated use can degrade cartilage. Surgery carries real risk and weeks of recovery. SoftWave stimulates your body to repair itself without any of that.

Patient Stories

Don't take our word for it.

"I'd been dealing with knee pain for two years — cortisone shots, PT, the works. After four SoftWave sessions at Trailhead I was back on Horsetooth for the first time since last summer. Blown away."

Mark R.

Avid hiker, Glennwood Springs

"My orthopedist mentioned surgery. I wanted to try everything else first. Six sessions later, the swelling is gone and I'm walking my dog every morning without pain. I wish I'd found this sooner."

Sandra L.

Osteoarthritis patient, 58

"As a skier I thought my season was over after my meniscus injury. Trailhead's combination of SoftWave and movement work got me back on the mountain. The whole-system approach makes a real difference."

Tom K.

Skier, Glennwood Springs

Common Questions

Everything you want to know before booking.

Most patients describe mild pressure or a light tapping sensation during treatment. No anesthesia or numbing is needed. You can drive yourself to and from every appointment.

Most knee patients see significant results in 3–6 sessions. Your provider will build a personalized plan based on your specific condition, history, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, ligament injuries, meniscus issues, post-surgical pain, and general knee degeneration. We'll evaluate your specific case at your consultation to confirm SoftWave is the right fit.

Most insurance plans don't cover SoftWave yet. We walk every patient through all costs upfront — no surprises. Flexible payment options are available so cost isn't a barrier to getting the care you need.

We combine SoftWave with chiropractic care and functional movement assessment. That means we're treating the full system — not just the joint in isolation. Glennwood Springs patients get a plan built around staying active, not just managing pain.
