SoftWave Therapy for Golf Injuries: A Game-Changer for Pain Relief and Performance at Stoetzel Chiropractic

Natural, Non-Invasive Recovery for Golfers in Winston-Salem

Whether you’re swinging a driver on the tee box or working your short game on the green, golf places repetitive stress on the muscles, joints, and connective tissues of the body. From low back and shoulder pain to elbow and wrist injuries, the game’s rotational mechanics and explosive movements can lead to both acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions.

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. John Stoetzel and his team help golfers of all skill levels get back in the game with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT)—a non-surgical, drug-free therapy that promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and optimizes recovery.

Common Golf Injuries SoftWave Therapy Can Help

Golf is a low-impact sport, but it places high torque demands on the spine, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hips. SoftWave is a highly effective solution for the following golf-related injuries:

1. Low Back Pain

  • Caused by rotational strain, poor posture, or spinal degeneration

  • SoftWave promotes disc and soft tissue healing, reduces nerve inflammation, and improves blood flow

2. Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

  • Pain on the inside of the elbow from repeated swings and grip tension

  • SoftWave repairs tendon microtears, reduces inflammation, and restores strength

3. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

  • Pain on the outside of the elbow, common in newer or aggressive players

  • SoftWave helps stimulate regeneration of the extensor tendons and relieves pain

4. Rotator Cuff Strain or Tendinitis

  • Common from overuse or poor swing mechanics

  • SoftWave aids in repairing shoulder tendons and reducing inflammation in the shoulder complex

5. Wrist and Hand Injuries

  • Caused by repeated impact or grip tension during swings

  • SoftWave reduces soft tissue tension, inflammation, and stimulates healing of tendon and ligament injuries

6. Hip and Groin Strains

  • Can result from instability or over-rotation during the swing

  • SoftWave increases circulation to support muscle and ligament recovery in the hips and pelvis

7. Knee Pain or Meniscus Irritation

  • Caused by twisting during weight transfer or poor mechanics

  • SoftWave supports cartilage and ligament repair while reducing joint stiffness

How SoftWave Therapy Works for Golfers

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves that penetrate deep into tissues at speeds over 3,000 mph. These waves trigger a powerful healing response at the cellular and tissue levels, addressing both pain and the root causes of injury.

SoftWave’s Scientific Benefits for Golf Injuries:

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration: Signals your body’s resident stem cells to migrate to damaged areas and initiate tissue regeneration

  • VEGF and eNOS Activation: Increases circulation through angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to joints and muscles

  • PCNA and BMP Expression: Stimulates cell proliferation and tissue growth for long-term structural repair

  • Modulation of Inflammation: Reduces chronic inflammation at injury sites through toll-like receptor regulation

  • Flushing of Senescent Cells: Clears out damaged, aging cells that contribute to chronic pain and delayed healing

These regenerative effects result in faster recovery, less pain, and improved mobility and swing performance—without surgery, injections, or downtime.

Trusted by Golfers at All Levels

SoftWave Therapy is used not only in local and amateur sports settings but is also trusted by elite professionals, including athletes in the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and top collegiate programs.

From weekend golfers to tour-level athletes, SoftWave is helping reduce:

  • Downtime from overuse injuries

  • Reliance on medications and anti-inflammatories

  • The need for corticosteroid injections or surgeries

Golfers choose SoftWave because it supports both short-term pain relief and long-term performance.

The SoftWave Advantage for Golfers

  • Non-surgical and needle-free

  • No side effects or downtime

  • Targets the root cause of pain

  • Improves flexibility and joint mobility

  • Supports stronger swings and faster recovery between rounds

  • Backed by science and used by top medical and sports institutions
