Advanced Non-Surgical Knee Pain Relief in Winston-Salem, NC: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy with Dr John Stoetzel

Published March 6th, 2025 by Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic

A Revolutionary Solution for Chronic Knee Pain and Injury Recovery

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints among adults, athletes, and seniors alike. Whether it’s the sharp ache from arthritis, stiffness while going up stairs, or recurring injuries from sports, finding lasting relief can feel like a never-ending challenge.

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. John Stoetzel and his team offer a powerful, drug-free, and non-invasive breakthrough for knee pain: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT). This cutting-edge technology uses high-speed acoustic waves to activate your body’s natural healing potential—without the need for surgery, injections, or prolonged downtime.


What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is an advanced form of shockwave technology from Germany. It uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves that travel over 3,000 mph to reach deep into injured tissues. These waves stimulate a biological healing cascade that helps reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote tissue repair and regeneration at the cellular level.

SoftWave is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and trusted by top medical institutions, orthopedic clinics, and professional sports teams across the globe.

Whether you're a weekend warrior, a high-level athlete, or someone simply trying to get through the day without pain, SoftWave Therapy at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic can help.

Whether you're dealing with a chronic condition or recovering from an acute injury, SoftWave Therapy can help restore your mobility, strength, and confidence.


SoftWave for Seniors: Relief from Arthritis and Everyday Stiffness

One of the most powerful applications of SoftWave Therapy is for knee osteoarthritis. Many of our patients struggle with:

  • Pain walking up or down stairs

  • Trouble getting out of chairs or cars

  • Morning stiffness or limited mobility

  • Swelling around the knee joint

SoftWave offers a non-surgical, drug-free alternative to joint injections or replacement surgery. By reducing inflammation, stimulating new blood flow (angiogenesis), and activating the body's healing pathways, patients often experience improved strength, stability, and function—even after years of chronic pain.


SoftWave for Athletes: Faster Recovery, Better Performance

Athletes battling jumper’s knee, runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, or ligament sprains benefit tremendously from the regenerative potential of SoftWave. Whether you're recovering from an ACL injury, suffering from a meniscus tear, or dealing with chronic tendonitis, SoftWave stimulates:

  • Activation and migration of resident stem cells

  • Repair of damaged tendon, ligament, and cartilage tissue

  • Reduction of inflammation through toll-like receptor modulation

  • Improved blood flow via VEGF and eNOS activation

  • Cellular proliferation through PCNA and BMP signaling

These effects lead to faster healing, decreased downtime, and a quicker return to sport—safely and naturally.


The Science of SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology

SoftWave Therapy is supported by rigorous research in regenerative medicine. Here’s what’s happening on a cellular level during your treatment:

  • Inflammation modulation – reduces harmful chronic inflammation

  • VEGF & eNOS activation – promotes new blood vessel formation and oxygenation

  • BMP & PCNA – stimulate cellular growth and tissue repair

  • Stem cell recruitment – accelerates healing by activating your body’s repair mechanisms

  • Toll-like receptor balance – helps correct dysfunctional immune and pain responses

Together, these mechanisms create an optimal environment for healing, recovery, and regeneration—right where you need it most.


Avoid Surgery. Skip the Injections. Choose Regeneration.

If you’ve been told that surgery or long-term injections are your only options for knee pain, SoftWave Therapy may be your missing step. It’s non-invasive, low-risk, and often successful where other treatments fall short.
