Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if Softwave treatment is right for me?

Softwave treatment reduces inflammation and pain, breaks down scar tissue, promotes collagen synthesis and blood circulation, and triggers cellular messengers to accelerate healing naturally. It’s a non-invasive, safe option for women’s pelvic health and postpartum rehabilitation—no internal exams or treatments are required.

While effective for listed conditions, it can also benefit others. If you’re unsure if our services are right for you, please call us at (602) 887-7632 and leave a message. We’ll call you back promptly, usually within the same day or by the next day, to answer your questions.

To determine suitability, consult a healthcare professional who can assess your medical history and treatment needs.

Who are not good candidates for Softwave treatment?

We do not provide treatments for open wounds or neck injuries. These cases require specialized evaluations and treatments. If you have had recent surgeries or procedures in the intended treatment area, please obtain permission from your surgeon before scheduling an appointment with us. For further inquiries, please call (602) 887-7632.

Your safety is our priority. Softwave Therapy may not be suitable if you have any of the following conditions. Please consult your doctor for alternative options and consider canceling your appointment if applicable:

  • Unknown or exacerbated pain that may indicate underlying medical issues requiring evaluation by your doctor before treatment.
  • Coagulation disorders or blood clots within or near the intended treatment area.
  • Use of anticoagulants, particularly Marcumar, Heparin, or Coumadin.
  • Pregnancy (appropriate after childbirth).
  • FIG Wellness Therapy treats adults only; we do not treat children or teens.
  • Tumor diseases or a history of cancerous tissues in or near the treatment areas.
  • Systemic cancers such as leukemia.
  • Active infections or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
  • History of seizures or seizure disorders.
  • History of fainting of unknown cause or vagal response.
  • Vaginal bleeding between periods or after menopause without prior consultation with your gynecologist.

Precautions:

Due to the delayed onset of biological effects, individuals with certain conditions may require additional treatment sessions and extended healing time. However, Softwave Therapy can still provide beneficial results.

  • You are taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), or others prescribed by your provider.
  • Recent surgeries or procedures in the intended treatment area require discussion with your doctor and obtaining medical clearance before scheduling a Softwave session.
  • Suppose you are taking a low daily dose of Eliquis and are at a higher risk for bruising. In that case, Softwave Therapy can still offer positive outcomes.

How do you give the Softwave treatments?

We’ll guide you through the Softwave treatment step-by-step, ensuring we have your complete agreement before proceeding. To keep you comfortable, we’ll offer disposable draping.

For the treatment, we use ultrasound gel on the applicator and the areas we’re focusing on. We take extra care to ensure your safety by using sterile supplies.

The Softwave applicator can reach depths of up to 6 inches (though this depth isn’t always necessary) and will be gently applied to areas like the breast, lower abdomen, genital region, or pubic area, depending on your treatment requirements. Softwave is entirely noninvasive, free from drugs or invasive techniques. You might notice clicking sounds and feel gentle pulses stimulating your tissues, promoting your body’s natural healing process.

We will provide post-treatment instructions for you to follow.
The average session lasts about 20 to 25 minutes.

We suggest wearing loose clothing that’s easy to put on and take off, allowing the therapist easy access to the treatment area. For the best results with SoftWave therapy, we strongly recommend shaving the designated area before your session. It ensures direct contact and better energy penetration into the tissue, maximizing the treatment benefits.

 

How soon can I expect to see improvements? How many sessions do I need?

Based on your needs and goals, a typical treatment plan involves 4-8 sessions once a week.
For pelvic pain, immediate relief after a session may initially last only a few days. However, with each subsequent session, you should experience longer-lasting relief. It’s recommended to wait approximately twelve weeks after completing all sessions to fully assess results, as tissue regeneration typically takes about 3 months.
Blocked milk ducts and mastitis typically improve after 1-3 treatments. Many clients notice improvements in other female pelvic conditions after three sessions. Again, it’s advisable to wait about twelve weeks after completing all sessions to see the full results, as tissue regeneration takes about 3 months.
For some conditions, periodic maintenance treatments, ranging from once a month to once a year, can help maintain stem cells in tissues and sustain long-term results.

What is the recovery process after undergoing treatment with the Softwave treatments?

Softwave therapy is non-invasive, so there’s no surgery involved. It’s done outside your body, making scheduling and returning to your daily routine effortless. You don’t need to take particular time off afterward.  Avoid biking for 48 hours to protect the pudendal nerve from too much pressure.
