Advanced Foot & Ankle Pain Relief in Winston-Salem with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic

A Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Solution for Chronic and Acute Pain in the Feet and Ankles

Foot and ankle pain can make even the simplest tasks—like standing, walking, or exercising—feel unbearable. Whether your pain stems from overuse, a sports injury, surgery, or chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis or neuropathy, the team at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic offers a cutting-edge, non-invasive solution: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT).

Led by Dr. John Stoetzel, our clinic specializes in helping patients recover from stubborn foot and ankle pain without surgery, injections, or long-term medications. SoftWave Therapy stimulates healing, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation—so you can get back to moving with confidence.


What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is a revolutionary regenerative treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, traveling over 3,000 mph, to penetrate deep into damaged or inflamed tissues. These waves initiate a powerful healing response, stimulating repair at the cellular and vascular levels.

Unlike traditional approaches that simply manage symptoms, SoftWave supports true tissue regeneration—making it a trusted option among elite athletes, orthopedic specialists, and top chiropractic clinics.

SoftWave is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and completely drug- and injection-free.


Conditions Treated with SoftWave Therapy in the Foot and Ankle

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic, we’ve seen incredible success using SoftWave to treat a variety of painful and mobility-limiting conditions of the lower extremity, including:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Achilles Tendonitis

  • Heel Spur Pain

  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Peroneal Tendonitis

  • Morton’s Neuroma

  • Metatarsalgia

  • Ankle Sprains and Instability

  • Sports Injuries and Athletic Recovery

  • Post-Surgical Pain and Scar Tissue

  • Stress Fractures

  • Running Injuries and Overuse Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis of the Foot and Ankle

  • Lymphedema (Swelling of the Feet and Ankles)

  • Peripheral Neuropathy and Nerve Pain

Whether you're a runner with recurring Achilles pain, recovering from ankle surgery, or dealing with chronic nerve discomfort, SoftWave can help reduce pain and speed up your body’s healing process.


How SoftWave Works to Heal Foot and Ankle Pain

SoftWave Therapy goes far beyond surface-level pain relief. Its biological effects include:

  • Decreasing Inflammation – Calms irritation in ligaments, tendons, fascia, and nerves that contribute to pain and swelling.

  • Stimulating Angiogenesis – Promotes formation of new blood vessels via VEGF and eNOS, enhancing oxygen delivery and tissue repair.

  • Recruiting Stem Cells – Mobilizes resident stem cells to areas of injury or degeneration for natural healing.

  • Triggering Cellular Regeneration – Activates BMP and PCNA, key signals for tissue growth and structural repair.

  • Modulating Pain Receptors – Balances toll-like receptor activity, reducing chronic pain and nerve sensitivity.

The result? Reduced pain, restored mobility, and stronger, healthier tissue in the feet and ankles—often without surgery or pharmaceuticals.


A Game-Changer for Runners, Athletes, and Active Adults

SoftWave Therapy is especially effective for runners, walkers, and athletes recovering from:

  • Shin splints

  • Heel pain

  • Stress-related fractures

  • Tendon overload injuries

  • Sprained ankles or strained arches

By stimulating regenerative processes and reducing scar tissue, SoftWave helps improve performance, prevent re-injury, and get you back in the game faster and safer.


Natural Recovery for Post-Surgical Pain and Swelling

If you've had foot or ankle surgery and are still experiencing lingering discomfort, stiffness, or swelling, SoftWave can support your recovery. Its regenerative effects are particularly helpful in breaking down scar tissue, improving circulation, and restoring tissue integrity—without risking further injury.


Avoid Injections, Surgeries, and Lifelong Medications

Cortisone injections, painkillers, or invasive procedures are not your only options. SoftWave offers a natural, non-surgical, and research-supported path to healing and long-term relief.

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic, our mission is to help patients avoid unnecessary surgery, reduce dependency on medications, and get back to living pain-free.
