Restoration Health Chiropractic is expanding the information it provides about SoftWave Therapy, a non-invasive acoustic wave treatment listed among the services available through its chiropractic practice in Conway, AR. The practice recently added more detail to its SoftWave educational guide, including information about how the technology works, how the applicator delivers acoustic waves, and how the treatment fits within the practice’s broader evaluation and care process.
SoftWave Therapy is described by Restoration Health Chiropractic as an acoustic wave treatment that can be used alongside its neurologically-based corrective chiropractic care. The practice's updated educational information is intended to give patients more context about the technology before they discuss whether it may be appropriate for their individual care plan.
According to the practice's SoftWave guide, SoftWave TRT, LLC developed the technology used by the therapy. The company describes itself as a medical technology company focused on shock wave therapy and tissue healing applications. Restoration Health Chiropractic's educational material explains that the technology uses acoustic waves and is designed to deliver energy to a targeted treatment area.
The practice's updated guide provides additional information about the SoftWave applicator. According to the published material, the applicator is designed to distribute energy across a broad area of both superficial and deeper tissue. The practice states that the device can reach an area measuring approximately 7 centimeters by 12 centimeters. The guide presents this information as part of its explanation of how SoftWave differs from other forms of acoustic wave treatment.
Restoration Health Chiropractic also describes the technology in terms of its intended biological response. Its educational material states that the SoftWave applicator delivers acoustic waves to a target area and is designed to solicit a biological response without causing microtrauma. The practice's guide also discusses proposed effects such as changes in blood supply, modulation of inflammation, recruitment of resident stem cells, tissue remodeling, and pain relief. These descriptions come from the practice's educational materials and are presented as information about how the technology is described by the practice and its manufacturer, rather than as guaranteed results for individual patients.
The updated guide also provides information about the regulatory status of the SoftWave OW100S device. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) documentation for the OW100S, submitted by SoftWave TRT, LLC, identifies the device as an acoustic wave device classified as a therapeutic massager. The FDA documentation lists indications for relief of minor muscle aches and pains, temporary increase in local blood circulation, and activation of connective tissue. The FDA's 510(k) process determines substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device; it is not the same as FDA approval through a premarket approval application.
Restoration Health Chiropractic's educational guide also discusses additional uses and potential effects associated with SoftWave. Those descriptions include areas such as pain, tissue recovery, blood flow, inflammation, scar tissue, and wound care. The practice presents these topics as part of its educational discussion of the technology. Individual treatment decisions are made separately and are based on the patient's evaluation and clinical circumstances.
The practice emphasizes that SoftWave is one component of a broader care process. Patients at the Conway location begin with a one-on-one consultation with a doctor to discuss their concerns, health history, and goals. A spinal examination may include motion and static palpation, range of motion assessment, digital posture analysis, and orthopedic and neurological testing.
Digital motion X-rays may also be used when a doctor determines that imaging is clinically indicated. The practice describes these images as a way to observe joint function during movement rather than relying only on a static image. Imaging is not presented as a required step for every patient.
After the consultation and examination, the practice develops a care plan based on the findings. SoftWave may be included when the doctor determines that it fits the patient's needs and the goals of the care plan. The practice does not present SoftWave as a standard treatment that every patient receives.
Dr. Michael Butler, Owner and Chief Vision Officer at Restoration Health Chiropractic, said, "We want patients to have clear information about the therapies we offer before they make decisions about their care. Adding more detail to our SoftWave guide gives people a better understanding of how the technology is described and where it may fit within an individualized care plan."
Dr. Keith Beachy, Lead Doctor, said, "SoftWave is one of the therapies we can discuss with patients after an evaluation. Providing more information about how the technology works gives patients useful context for that conversation and helps distinguish the treatment from other forms of therapy."
The updated SoftWave information is part of Restoration Health Chiropractic's broader effort to provide educational resources about the services offered through its offices. The practice maintains information about corrective chiropractic care, wellness care, pediatric care, preconception and perinatal care, spinal traction, auto accident care, and other services alongside its SoftWave materials.
Restoration Health Chiropractic describes its primary clinical model as neurologically-based corrective chiropractic care. The practice states that its approach incorporates Chiropractic Biophysics and draws on areas including anatomy, physiology, neurology, physics, and geometry when developing individualized care protocols. These descriptions represent the practice's stated approach to chiropractic care.
SoftWave is presented as a complementary therapy within that larger model rather than as a replacement for a consultation or examination. When a patient is evaluated at the Conway location, the practice states that recommendations are based on the findings from that evaluation and the patient's individual circumstances.
The practice's SoftWave guide also explains the technology's delivery method in greater detail than a standard service listing. It describes the applicator as distributing acoustic wave energy across both superficial and deeper tissue and identifies the treatment area described by the practice as approximately 7 centimeters by 12 centimeters. The added technical information gives patients more context about what happens during a SoftWave session.
According to Restoration Health Chiropractic, SoftWave is designed as a non-invasive treatment that does not require an incision. The practice also describes the treatment as having a short treatment time and quick recovery compared with more invasive procedures. These descriptions are provided as general information about the therapy and do not establish a specific recovery period or outcome for every patient.
The practice's educational materials discuss SoftWave in relation to several types of tissue and pain concerns. Its published guide references back pain, knee pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, elbow pain, Achilles tendinopathy, scar tissue, and other conditions. The presence of a condition on the practice's educational page does not mean that SoftWave is appropriate for every person with that condition.
Restoration Health Chiropractic states that treatment recommendations are made after evaluation. Patients can discuss their symptoms, medical history, and goals with a doctor before a treatment plan is developed. This process allows the practice to determine whether SoftWave or another service is appropriate for the individual patient.
The Conway office serves patients in Conway and surrounding communities in Faulkner County. Restoration Health Chiropractic lists its Conway location at 2235 Dave Ward Drive, Suite 105, Conway, AR 72034. The practice also lists locations in Little Rock and Bryant and provides information about its services and patient evaluation process through its website.
The updated SoftWave guide was published as an educational resource rather than as a replacement for an in-person consultation. Restoration Health Chiropractic states that patients can contact the practice to learn more about the therapy and discuss whether it may be appropriate based on their individual circumstances.
The practice's original SoftWave educational article dates to June 2024 and describes the technology, its manufacturer, the applicator, and the areas the practice associates with SoftWave therapy. The expanded information gives the practice an opportunity to provide more detail about the technology and its place within the services offered at Restoration Health Chiropractic.
The additional information also gives patients a clearer explanation of what SoftWave Therapy is before they visit the practice. Instead of presenting the service only as a treatment option, the updated guide explains the acoustic wave technology, the applicator design, the treatment area described by the practice, and the regulatory information associated with the OW100S device.
Restoration Health Chiropractic continues to list SoftWave Therapy among its available services. For patients in Conway and nearby Central Arkansas communities, the service is presented as one option that may be considered after an evaluation. The practice's updated educational materials provide additional background for patients who want to understand the therapy before discussing it with a doctor.
By expanding its SoftWave Therapy information, Restoration Health Chiropractic is giving patients more detail about a service available through its Conway practice. The updated guide explains the technology in greater depth while keeping SoftWave within the practice's broader process of consultation, examination, and individualized care planning. Patients can use the information as a starting point for a discussion with their doctor about whether the therapy is appropriate for their circumstances.
