Introducing Softwave

When Healing Stalls, Your Body Needs a New Signal

Chronic pain, tendon irritation, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, stress fractures, pelvic pain, and slow-healing wounds all stem from the same issue: your body’s natural repair process has been disrupted.

At McHugh Health in Jacksonville, FL, we use SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy to restart healing at the cellular level. This non-invasive technology uses acoustic waves to increase blood flow, break up adhesions, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility in damaged or degenerating tissue.

  • Joint pain (acute or chronic)

  • Rotator cuff and shoulder injuries

  • Tennis/golfer’s elbow and carpal tunnel

  • Trigger finger

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs

  • Achilles tendinopathy

  • Neuropathy, Morton’s neuroma

  • Bursitis, tendinopathies, muscle strains, ligament injuries

  • Stress fractures, shin splints, sports injuries

  • Chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, burns

SoftWave treats the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Pain affects how you move, work, sleep, and show up for your life. Many patients come to us after feeling dismissed elsewhere. At McHugh Health, we see the full picture — and we use solutions designed to help your body rebuild naturally.

We were among the first in the region to bring the OrthoGold SoftWave System to Jacksonville. It’s the same trusted technology used by Olympic teams, pro sports organizations, and leading medical institutions.

A Precise, Science-Driven Path to Healing

01 ‣ Your Initial Appointment

Your visit begins with a detailed evaluation of your pain, history, mobility, and goals. We look closely at what tissues may be inflamed, degenerating, scarred, or lacking blood flow — the underlying causes that create chronic pain patterns.

03 ‣ SoftWave Treatment

Targeted acoustic waves work through the tissue to:

  • Break down scar tissue and calcification

  • Increase blood vessel growth

  • Improve circulation

  • Reduce chronic inflammation

  • Restart stalled healing

No surgery. No injections. No downtime.

02 ‣ SoftWave Mapping

Before treatment begins, we “map” the injured area — identifying the exact points where inflammation, adhesions, or calcification are disrupting healing. Patients often describe this stage as finally locating the true source of their pain.

04 ‣ After Treatment

Many patients experience immediate improvement in pain and mobility due to increased blood flow and reduced tension. Others notice significant progress over several sessions as tissue regeneration accelerates.

05 ‣ A Holistic Care Plan for Long-Term Relief

SoftWave integrates seamlessly with other therapies we offer, such as chiropractic care, regenerative medicine, joint injections, orthopedic bracing, — giving your body the full support it needs to heal and stay healthy long-term.

FAQs

  • Most patients describe the sensation as a momentary “pressure” or “pulse,” especially over areas of inflammation or damaged tissue. It's very tolerable, and there’s no downtime after the treatment.

  • A typical session lasts between 7-10 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the severity of the underlying condition.

  • Many patients feel immediate improvement — increased mobility, reduced tension, or a noticeable decrease in pain. For chronic or long-standing conditions, results build progressively as tissue regeneration increases over several treatments.

  • SoftWave is highly effective for:

    • Tendinopathies (rotator cuff, elbow, hip, knee, Achilles, plantar fascia)

    • Chronic inflammation and soft tissue degeneration

    • Scar tissue, calcification, and adhesions

    • Acute and chronic wounds

    • Diabetic ulcers and burns

    • Stress fractures

    • Neuropathy and nerve irritation

    If your body is struggling to heal, SoftWave can often help restart the process.

  • Yes. Because SoftWave is non-invasive and promotes natural healing, it is safe for most patients — including those who are not candidates for surgery or who want to avoid long recovery times.

When Pain Won’t Go Away, Your Body Is Asking for a Different Approach

If inflammation, tendon pain, nerve irritation, or slow-healing tissue is affecting your life — you don’t have to keep pushing through it. SoftWave gives your body the signal it needs to rebuild, restore, and return to the life you want.
