Published September 25th, 2024 by Central Jersey Spine & Wellness

If you’ve been suffering from chronic pain, mobility issues, or lingering injuries, your search for relief may be leading you to SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy. At Central Jersey Spine and Wellness, Dr. Gerard DeBernardis and his team are excited to guide you through this innovative and non-invasive treatment designed to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life. But what can you expect at your first SoftWave Discovery Day visit?

Here’s a breakdown of what to anticipate, from the moment you walk in the door to your first SoftWave therapy session.

1. Meet and Greet

At Central Jersey Spine and Wellness, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment for every patient. When you arrive for your SoftWave Discovery Day, you’ll be greeted by our friendly and professional staff. This is your opportunity to get to know Dr. Gerard and his team, who are dedicated to helping you on your journey to better health.

We want you to feel comfortable and confident that you’re in the right place, and we’re always happy to answer any questions you might have about the SoftWave therapy process.

2. Chief Complaint and Health History

Before diving into the therapy, we’ll start by discussing your chief complaint and reviewing your health history. This is a crucial step in identifying the root cause of your pain or discomfort and ensuring that SoftWave Therapy is the right solution for you.

Dr. Gerard will ask you about:

  • Any injuries or surgeries
  • The location and nature of your pain
  • Previous treatments or therapies you’ve tried
  • Your overall health goals

This information will help guide the SoftWave treatment plan and ensure that we’re targeting the right areas for maximum healing and relief.

3. SoftWave 101: Education on the Science Behind the Technology

Next, you’ll be introduced to the incredible science behind SoftWave Therapy. During this SoftWave 101 session, Dr. Gerard and his team will explain how SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology works to promote natural healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy with Dr Gerard

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These waves penetrate deep into the tissues, triggering a cascade of positive biological responses. Here’s how it works:

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): SoftWave Therapy stimulates the production of VEGF, promoting the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and improving blood flow to the affected areas.
  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase): This increases circulation, helping to reduce inflammation and provide more nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues.
  • Stem Cell Activation: SoftWave Therapy mobilizes and activates the body’s stem cells, promoting tissue repair and regeneration at the cellular level.
  • Modulation of Inflammation: SoftWave helps reduce chronic inflammation, a key factor in pain and tissue damage.
  • Breaking Up Scar Tissue: The therapy helps break down scar tissue and adhesions, improving flexibility and reducing pain.
  • Pain Relief and Improved Mobility: By addressing the root causes of pain, SoftWave Therapy helps decrease discomfort while increasing movement.

This education session will give you a clear understanding of the power of SoftWave Therapy in New Jersey and how it can help you achieve your health goals.

4. Introduction to SoftWave Therapy: Mapping and “Hot Spot” Session

Before starting your full therapy session, you’ll experience a mapping session to identify areas of inflammation, pain, and injury. This step helps Dr. Gerard pinpoint the exact spots that are causing your discomfort and where SoftWave Therapy will provide the most benefit.

What is the Mapping Session?

During the mapping session, SoftWave’s acoustic waves are applied to your body to locate “hot spots”—areas of pain and inflammation that may not be visible on imaging scans. These hot spots are often areas where tissue damage or inflammation is contributing to your symptoms.

Identifying these areas ensures that your SoftWave Therapy is precisely targeted for maximum effectiveness, allowing us to deliver a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

5. First Full SoftWave Session: Igniting Healing, Repair, and Regeneration

Once the hot spots are identified, you’ll undergo your first full SoftWave Therapy session. This is where the true magic begins, as the therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms to:

  • Decrease Pain: SoftWave blocks pain signals, providing immediate relief.
  • Reduce Inflammation: By modulating the inflammatory response, the therapy helps reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected areas.
  • Improve Mobility: As pain decreases and inflammation subsides, you’ll experience improved mobility and flexibility.
  • Activate Stem Cells: SoftWave stimulates the body’s own stem cells, promoting cellular and tissue healing for weeks and months to come.

This first session is the beginning of your healing journey, laying the foundation for a healthier cellular environment where the body can regenerate and repair itself naturally.

What to Expect After Your First SoftWave Session

After your first SoftWave session, you may notice an immediate reduction in pain and improved movement. However, the true benefits of SoftWave Therapy often continue to unfold over the following weeks and months as the healing process continues.

The 6-8 Week SoftWave Care Plan

Most patients experience the greatest results from SoftWave Therapy after a 6-8 week treatment plan. During this time, your body will continue to heal, and you’ll likely experience further improvements in:

  • Pain Relief
  • Mobility
  • Overall Quality of Life

Dr. Gerard and his team have helped countless patients cancel surgeries, avoid injections, and return to an active, pain-free life through SoftWave Therapy.
