SoftWave TRT Orthogold 500
This technology is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Imagine a machine that helps the body to heal damaged tissue, increases blood supply and decreases inflammation WITHOUT any anesthesia, surgery or hospitalization!! This therapy does all this and more for a fraction of the cost of just ONE medical stem cell treatment. Locally, orthopedists are charging a minimum of $4000 and up to $8000 for 1 Stem Cell procedure. You can spend up to $50,000 or more for multiple treatments in places like Panama City, Panama. For a drastically less investment in your health, you can have several sessions without having to travel or risk the side effects of anesthesia and surgery. Best of all, it only takes a few minutes to get these amazing results. Visit the company website at www.SoftwaveTRT.com for more information.
Don't be fooled by imitation copy cats that are being sold in the USA that claim to be the same as the Orthogold series of ESWT equipment. They are NOT FDA CLEARED and they DO NOT have the same therapeutic capability or benefits. The owner's of these devices are offering discounted fees to lure you in so please beware and ask for the SoftWave TRT Orthogold machine by name! See side by side comparison below.
SoftWave Therapy is a noninvasive therapeutic device (It is also known as "The Stem Cell Machine") that uses a patented breakthrough method of shock-wave generation. It brings unprecedented advantages to sports and regenerative medicine (old injuries). It rapidly relieves chronic pain and greatly accelerates recoveries with sustaining results. This is not an incremental change; it is TRANSFORMATIONAL and very unique!
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a noninvasive treatment that employs acoustic (sound) waves (shockwaves) which causes a biological process called mechanotransduction to stimulate healing in the body. It is used in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Theses shockwaves are acoustic pulses characterized by high positive pressure with a rapid and steep rise time, followed by a comparatively small negative pressure, known as a tensile wave. Initially developed to fragment kidney stones, shockwave therapy has since expanded into orthopedics, sport medicine and rehabilitation as well as urology, cosmetic plastic surgery, wound care, cardiology and more. Research is ongoing with Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's and even Pancreatic and Thyroid Cancer.
The SoftWave OrthoGold TRT family of devices in including the model 500 used in this office are the only partially focused Extracorpeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) technology available in
North America, and are scientifically validated to accomplish the
following:
-Immediately shut down the inflammatory process at the treatment site. Results are typically an immediate and sustained relief of chronic pain and releases muscular adhesions / tightness. Improvement of range of motion is a common result after the very first treatment.
-Sustained Improvement of Blood Flow. This has been linked to a release of various immune factors and increased ATP that leads to angio/vasculogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) at the treatment site. SoftWave is scientifically validated to recruit and activate endogenous stem cell production, allowing the body to truly start healing from within. Stem Cells are the key to tissue regeneration and repair.
-Additionally, not only is this SoftWave machine used for treatment, it also has a diagnostic feedback in which the "origin of pain" can be precisely identified, serving as an invaluable tool for proper treatment. This feedback mechanism allows us to know exactly where the problem is.
- 100% atraumatic to tissues and cells (safe - no damage or trauma created). No bruising after treatment like radial impulse treatments.
- Near-immediate pain relief in some conditions.
- Can break up fibrous adhesions and micro calcifications in joints and tendons. Penetrates up to 12 cm deep (4.7 inches).
- A wave delivery zone thousands of times larger than focused or planar designs (kidney stones and plantar fasciitis)
- Demonstrably more efficient and effective. Up to 91% helpful for musculo-skeletal conditions.
- Real-time biofeedback provides precision guidance of application to problem origin areas. No need for imaging or trigger point references.
- The only Unfocused Electrohydraulic ESWT available in North America, and it has FDA 510(k) clearance.
- A fraction of the cost of medical stem cell therapy (1 orthopedic stem cell treatment is about $5000 and is very invasive involving blood removal and injections as well as anesthesia). SoftWave treatments are spread out over 6 to 8 visits for most patients and is an affordable treatment option.
- Utilized by top medical institutions including: The Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, University of California San Francisco, Baylor Medical Center, Northwestern University Hospital, Shepherd Center)
- Used by the following sports team and many more: Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs, NY Giants, NY Yankees, Cleveland Guardians, Team USA
- Has many other uses for conditions outside of the Chiropractic / Orthopedic realm (urology, brain injuries, cardiac issues, wound healing, plastic surgery (scars) and more).
- No X-Rays are required! If you have had any X-Rays, MRIs or CT Scans, I will review them. We will do a history of your complaint, a review of your overall health, a spinal exam including vitals and a thorough, individualized evaluation.
- No need for multiple visits for months on end! Most patients complete the treatments in 8 to 12 visits. This is determined on the first visit based on several factors.
- Save your body the damaged caused by taking medications long term for pain as well as the cost of endless therapies.
- Yes!! The benefits are permanent.

In Office Case
51 year old woman seen for Trigeminal Neuralgia (The Suicide Disease) with left sided facial pain goes from a 10+ out of 10 to a
ZERO after this new patient's first SoftWave Therapy. The Trigeminal Nerve is both sensory (feeling) and motor (movement) for
the face, teeth and throat. She has been in agonizing pain for over 10 years even after 2 brain surgeries and more medications
than I can count with no relief. She came in today (08/13/2024) unable to open her mouth or speak. We had to turn the AC off
because cold or moving air triggers unimaginable attacks of facial pain. She had to communicate thru a friend who brought her in
and she was crying out in pain during her consultation and exam. After a simple 4 minute treatment ... she will tell you the rest.
Desperate for a non-invasive, surgery and drug free possible solution to your chronic pain? Call us and schedule a Discovery
Session to see if SoftWave may be the answer.
In Office Case
74 year old man who had low back surgery 3 years ago. The surgeon "nicked a nerve" and he came out of the surgery being numb
from the left knee down and had drop foot (he could not move his foot upward due to the nerve not communicating with
the muscle). IMMEDIATELY after his first SoftWave treatment to his low back, he was able to move his foot for the first time since
the surgery. Unfortunately, I did not video him before the treatment. Here is the video from that first day.
In Office Case
Middle age woman who had lower back pain radiating to the knees with clicking. This is a thermography exam immediately before
and after her first treatment. Notice the red indicating inflammation on the first image and no sign of it on the second. The initial
benefit of this technology is suppression of inflammation. This leads to pain relief and increased mobility.
In Office Case
36 year old female came in for SoftWave therapy in October, 2023. She injured her neck that affected her right shoulder in May
2022. She had EXTREMELY limited movement of her shoulder in all directions due to the pain. After her first visit, she had
immediate relief of neck and shoulder pain and a noticeable increase in movement. As she left the office, without thinking, she
reached in the back seat of her car to get her water bottle and realized that she could move it for the first time in 17 months! She
as in tears on her 3rd visit because she could now hold a book and read to her son and HUG him and her husband for the first time
since her injury. No surgery, injections, anesthesia or down time. Here is her testimony in her own words.
In Office Case
60 year old male (me). Left Sacro-Iliac pain into the buttock and down the left leg for 15 years that became severely worse
for the last 7 months after falling off a ladder. A MRI was done on December 9, 2022. See the large disc herniation and
fragment at the posterior (back side) of L4 extending into the spinal canal compressing the descending nerves. It is affecting
the left nerve root (cannot be seen on this view). SoftWave treatment done the next day after the MRI. All pain was gone
immediately and never returned.
Follow-up MRI with contrast done on January 6, 2023. Notice the drastic reduction in the size of the disc fragment. Per
the radiologist's report, the herniation was smaller and no longer affecting the exiting nerve root. The difference in color
is due to the contrast dye that was used. Total # of SoftWave treatments at this point was only 5. I suspect the fragmented
disc was reduced with the first visit. NO SURGERY -- NO ANESTHESIA -- NO DOWN TIME -- NO SIDE EFFECTS -- NO
INVASIVE PROCEDURES JUST RELIEF AND RESULTS BY CORRECTING THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM!!! As of August,
still no pain and doing heavy labor with no issues.
In Office Case
74 year old male. Severe lumbar radicular neuropathy radiating to the lower extremities. Numb from the knees down.
Color of legs and feet were ash gray and white. No sensation to sharp stimulus. Could feel dull pressure. After his first treatment
to his lower back, legs and feet, the color returned immediately (healthy pink). After his second visit, he could feel the pedals on
his stationary bike. After his fourth visit, he could feel pain again. He stated he put on an old pair of sneakers that were in bad
shape and had to throw them away because they hurt his feet.
First Visit - I decided to take a photo after I put on the gel. You Immediately after the treatment. Feet are nice and pink.
can see the discoloration. The photo does not show all the detail.
This was his fifth visit BEFORE I treated him. Feet are nice and pink indicating great
circulation. At this point he could feel sharp sensations and pain again.
In Office Case
92 year old male who has lumbar radicular neuropathy. He has not been able to feel the bottom of his feet for over 3 years. This is effecting his walking
and balance. After his very first SoftWave Neuropathy treatment, he stood up and stated he could feel the floor under his feet. He took a few steps and
was able to walk without a cane. This is with just ONE treatment.
In Office Case
15 + years of pain (lower back pain radiating into the left hip and leg) GONE after 8 SoftWave visits. Able to work and exercise
again including intense martial arts.
In Office Case
61 year old female has been a long time chiropractic patient. Developed Bell's Palsy (Cranial Nerve 7 Palsy) about 5 years ago.
Nothing helped her including upper cervical and cranial chiropractic care. She decided to try SoftWave Therapy, and over time,
the function of her facial muscles started to wake up and function. While not 100% yet, she can wrinkle her forehead, open her
left eye fully and the inside of her cheek no longer gets caught up. She notices overall improvement in day to day functions like
eating, talking and being able to SMILE!!
In Office Case
69 year old male had an injury playing football when he was 15 that affected his neck and shoulder. 54 years later he came in for
a SoftWave treatment. He immediately had full range of motion and NO pain. Can you get these results anywhere else? Why
live with pain?
In Office Case
A 65 year old male injured his right knee 5 years ago. MRI showed a torn disc. He had immediate relief after his first treatment.
After 3 visits he was relatively pain free for the first time since his injury. SoftWave promotes healing from within and is a
permanent solution to many joint and soft tissue problems.
In Office Case
A 67 year old male had complaints of pain, clicking and loss of motion in his right shoulder. A MRI showed a tear in one of the
rotator cuff tendons and arthritis. He was contemplating surgery, but decided to try SoftWave instead. IMMEDIATELY after
his first treatment, the movement drastically increased, and the pain was gone.
In Office Case
A 66 year old woman came in due to left hip pain. It became severe and sharp when she twisted to the left. She had immediate
relief after her first SoftWave TRT treatment. SoftWave is effective even with arthritis and tears in the joints.
In Office Case
A 73 year old woman was seen for severe knee pain. She was told by her orthopedic that it was "bone on bone" and she would
need a knee replacement. She had difficultly walking and cold not raise her leg up without severe pain. After her first SoftWave
Treatment, she had immediate relief and was overcome with joy. While this technology will not make you a new knee, it will
regenerate the tissue around the knee, improve circulation and decrease inflammation to improve your quality of life. In cases
with severe arthritis, you will need ongoing "maintenance" visits to keep the joint healthy. If you can avoid surgery, it is a win!
In Office Case
A 22 year old man came into the office for lower back and leg pain. He was told by a local neurosurgeon that if he did not have low
back surgery, he would end up incontinent, impotent and in a wheel chair. He could not work or even drive due to the extreme
pain he was in. His x-rays revealed an injury to the last bone in his lower back which is quite common. It usually occurs during our
young teen years from over stress on the body. We see it in individuals brought up on farms (heavy lifting), wrestlers, foot ball
players, gymnasts, divers and other sports that stress the lower back. Through a combination of chiropractic care and SoftWave
TRT treatments, his pain drastically decreased and he was able to return to driving and work. A follow up x-ray revealed an
improvement in the alignment and healing in process of the injury (an unintended consequence of the SoftWave treatments).
Before Treatment After Treatment
In Office Case
A 69 year old woman had a knee replacement done in early September, 2025. After the surgery, she was unable to move her
lower leg, foot or toes. The surgeon more than likely nicked a nerve (common peroneal). She also had numbness below the knee
that was operated on. Improvements were seen after the first visit, and by the 4th visit, significant movement and sensation
returned to the leg, foot and toes. SoftWave has patents for nerve elongation and nerve regrowth. In addition, SoftWave helps to
break down adhesions and scar tissue caused by injures and surgery no matter how old. It also triggers new blood vessel growth
bringing in more nutrients and oxygen and carrying away toxins and dead cells.

you receive a SoftWave treatment.
Check out this video from the TV show “The Doctors” as they discuss this SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology!
This video by a plastic surgeon demonstrates the regenerating power of the SoftWave TRT in healing open wounds and gangrene
of the foot. One of the segments shows the bone of a lost toe (from gangrene) actually regenerating / regrowing from SoftWave
treatment. Please do not view if you are easily physically upset by graphic photos of damaged human tissue.
Here is a news story about a well known football coach who, after a botched knee replacement, was told he would need an
amputation. He was treated by Dr. Mullins (above video) who was able to heel the infection and get the wound to close saving the
leg and allowing him to get another knee replacement. If SoftWave therapy can help save someone from amputation, imagine
what it can do for patients in our own community. Relief without surgery or long recovery times. Safe, natural and effective.
