Your first visit is designed to help you understand how SoftWave works and whether it’s the right solution for your pain. During your appointment, you’ll receive:
• A focused consultation to review your symptoms, history, and pain goals
• An introductory SoftWave Therapy session so we can evaluate your response to treatment
• Personalized recommendations from Dr. DelMedico to support faster, long-term relief
In just a few minutes, you’ll know whether SoftWave is a strong option to help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and encourage healing — without surgery or medication.
Your recovery starts here — one SoftWave pulse at a time.
SoftWave Therapy is not currently covered by insurance. However, HSA and FSA funds can be used for payment.
oftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is reshaping the way musculoskeletal conditions are treated by focusing on true tissue repair rather than temporary symptom relief. Backed by FDA clearance and research, SoftWave Therapy offers a modern option for healing that goes beyond traditional pain management.
SoftWave delivers acoustic sound waves deep into damaged tissue, helping jump-start the body’s own repair mechanisms at the cellular level. This advanced system uses a patented electrohydraulic spark source combined with a parabolic reflector to create a wide, precise treatment zone — allowing more tissue to be reached in every session.
• Helps increase local circulation and improve blood flow where healing is needed
• Supports a decrease in inflammation so recovery can happen more comfortably
• Stimulates resident stem cells to assist in natural repair of injured tissue
• Encourages faster regeneration in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints
• Provides relief for both recent injuries and long-standing chronic pain
This technology offers a path to healing that fits real life — non-invasive, drug-free, and focused on lasting improvement.
Your healing journey at Revive SoftWave Therapy begins with an introductory evaluation to determine whether SoftWave is the right approach for your condition. During this visit, Dr. Tim DelMedico will learn about your pain history, perform a focused examination, and walk you through what SoftWave treatment looks like — including your first session.
Many patients start noticing decreased discomfort, improved mobility, and reduced swelling within 24 hours of their first appointment. As you continue care, SoftWave begins activating your body’s repair processes, with optimal biological response typically developing after 6–8 sessions. Behind the scenes, healing continues over the next 8–12 weeks as your tissue regenerates on a cellular level.
Your care plan will be tailored to your condition and goals — whether you’re recovering from an injury or trying to finally overcome long-term chronic pain.
SoftWave sessions are fast and convenient, usually taking just 5–15 minutes, so they easily fit into your weekly schedule while your body does the real work of healing.
Your first visit to Revive SoftWave Therapy includes a focused evaluation using SoftWave’s advanced acoustic technology. As the device is applied, it produces a form of diagnostic biofeedback that helps identify areas of damaged tissue. Healthy tissue typically feels little to no sensation. Injured or inflamed areas — such as those affected by arthritis, scar tissue, or reduced circulation — respond differently, helping us pinpoint where healing is needed most.
This immediate feedback allows Dr. Timothy DelMedico to target treatment accurately and assess whether SoftWave is a strong solution for your specific condition.
Research supports the effectiveness of SoftWave Therapy for improving musculoskeletal conditions, with many patients experiencing noticeable progress as their treatments continue.
SoftWave offers a non-invasive path to relief for a wide range of concerns, including:
SoftWave is also commonly used by active individuals and athletes to recover faster from repetitive strain and overuse injuries — without medications, injections, or downtime.
At Revive SoftWave Therapy in Utica and Syracuse, we use the SoftWave OrthoGold system — one of the most advanced, broad-focused shock wave technologies available today. SoftWave works differently than traditional modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation. Instead of masking pain, it stimulates cellular activity that supports true tissue regeneration.
SoftWave’s electrohydraulic spark source creates high-energy sound waves inside a water-filled chamber. As the plasma bubble expands and collapses in microseconds, the energy is directed through a patented parabolic reflector, transforming it into low-intensity, parallel acoustic waves. This design allows a wider, deeper treatment zone so more damaged tissue can be targeted during each session.
Because these waves spread through the tissue without causing micro-injury, SoftWave provides an effective, non-invasive option for individuals seeking improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and better healing outcomes.
At Revive, our goal is simple: help your body recover naturally so you can get back to the activities you love — with less pain holding you back.
SoftWave Therapy offers a level of regenerative support that traditional devices simply cannot match. While some treatments only address the surface of the problem, SoftWave’s acoustic wave technology reaches deeper and wider into damaged tissue to support meaningful healing.
Many clinics use radial pressure waves, which spread outward quickly and lose force within a very short distance. These waves mainly affect surface layers and provide only temporary relief. SoftWave Therapy is different. It uses a unique electrohydraulic source and a patented parabolic reflector to deliver focused acoustic waves that keep their power as they travel — making it possible to reach tissue that other treatments miss.
• Larger treatment zone per session
SoftWave reaches up to 7 cm wide and 12 cm deep, giving more complete coverage of the injured area and often requiring fewer appointments.
• Supports healing without creating injury
Instead of causing micro-trauma, SoftWave encourages cells to release biological signals that support safe, natural tissue repair.
• Stem cell activation
Research shows SoftWave helps activate and recruit your body’s own stem cells, an important factor in regeneration.
• Built-in diagnostic feedback
During treatment, SoftWave identifies areas of sensitivity linked to damaged tissue, helping guide care with greater accuracy.
At Revive SoftWave Therapy in Utica and Syracuse, we use this technology to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support recovery — with no needles, no drugs, and no surgery required.
