Treatment Limitations and Safety Guidelines
Although SoftWave Therapy is FDA-cleared as a low-risk device and can benefit a wide range of conditions, certain circumstances may require specialized care. At FIG Wellness Therapy, we do not treat open wounds or neck injuries. For these cases, we can refer you to trusted providers who can better address your needs. If you’ve had recent surgeries or procedures in the intended treatment area, please obtain clearance from your surgeon before scheduling an appointment. For any questions, call us at (602) 887-7632.
