Published March 10th, 2025 by Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic

Restore Comfort, Strength, and Function — Without Injections, Drugs, or Surgery

If hand or wrist pain is interfering with your daily activities—whether it’s typing, cooking, writing, gripping, or lifting—there’s finally a non-invasive and science-backed solution that can help. At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. John Stoetzel and his team are proud to offer SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology, a groundbreaking approach to healing painful hand and wrist conditions without surgery, injections, or long-term medication use.

Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, nerve pain, overuse injuries, or post-surgical recovery, SoftWave Therapy can help restore function, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the regeneration of damaged tissues—so you can get back to doing what you love with your hands, pain-free.


What Is SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology?

SoftWave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive regenerative medicine technology originally developed in Germany. It uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves that travel over 3,000 mph, penetrating deep into damaged tissues of the hand and wrist. These acoustic waves trigger a powerful biological healing response at the cellular level to:

  • Decrease inflammation and swelling

  • Increase blood flow via angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

  • Activate and migrate resident stem cells

  • Stimulate repair and regeneration of ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and nerves

SoftWave Therapy is FDA-cleared, non-surgical, and widely used by top sports medicine and orthopedic clinics, elite athletes, and wellness experts across the globe.

The Science Behind SoftWave’s Healing Power

What sets SoftWave apart is the depth and precision of its biological effects. This is more than just pain relief—it’s true tissue regeneration.

Key Biological Mechanisms:

  • Modulation of Inflammation – SoftWave downregulates chronic inflammatory pathways, allowing natural healing to occur.

  • VEGF and Angiogenesis – Promotes formation of new capillaries to improve blood flow and oxygenation to injured tissues.

  • eNOS Activation – Boosts nitric oxide production, relaxing blood vessels and enhancing circulation.

  • PCNA and BMP Signaling – Stimulates the repair of tendons, ligaments, nerves, and other soft tissues.

  • Stem Cell Activation – One of SoftWave’s most unique abilities is the activation and migration of your body’s own resident stem cells to repair and regenerate injured areas.

  • Toll-Like Receptor Regulation – Supports a healthy immune and pain modulation response in areas of chronic injury or inflammation.


From Everyday Discomfort to Chronic Conditions — SoftWave Can Help

Typing on a keyboard, opening jars, gripping weights at the gym, or simply shaking hands—all become painful when you’re dealing with hand or wrist problems. For some, it's the slow, stiff ache of arthritis. For others, it’s the burning nerve pain of carpal tunnel syndrome or the sharp jolt of trigger finger.

SoftWave Therapy helps:

  • Reduce swelling and inflammation

  • Improve joint mobility and tendon flexibility

  • Relieve nerve compression and radiating pain

  • Stimulate long-term tissue healing

And best of all—it does this without masking symptoms or relying on temporary fixes. Patients report noticeable improvements in grip strength, range of motion, and pain reduction within a few sessions.
