What Happens After You Complete Your Initial SoftWave Therapy Program at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic?

Your Healing Doesn’t End—It’s Just Getting Started

If you've recently completed your SoftWave Therapy care program at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC—congratulations! You've taken a significant step toward lasting pain relief, improved mobility, and true tissue regeneration.

But what happens next?

SoftWave is not just about temporary relief—it’s about initiating and supporting a long-term healing process that continues long after your final session. Dr. John Stoetzel and his team want you to understand what to expect, how to maintain your results, and when tune-ups might be right for you.

1. Continued Healing, Repair, and Regeneration

One of the most powerful aspects of SoftWave Therapy is that healing doesn’t stop when your sessions end.

Research shows that stem cell activation and migration can remain heightened for up to 12 weeks after your last SoftWave treatment. This means your body is still actively working to:

  • Regenerate damaged tissues

  • Reduce lingering inflammation

  • Rebuild cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and nerves

  • Strengthen previously weak or injured joints

Your SoftWave protocol has laid a solid foundation for your body to continue repairing and regenerating naturally. Many patients report ongoing improvements in pain, strength, and flexibility for weeks and even months beyond their final session.

2. How Long Do Results Last?

Every patient is unique. While many individuals experience long-lasting relief, the duration of your results depends on a number of factors, including:

  • Your medical history and past injuries

  • The severity and chronicity of your condition

  • Your occupation and daily physical demands

  • Your exercise, movement, and recovery routines

  • The presence of inflammatory or autoimmune conditions

  • Lifestyle habits, such as nutrition, hydration, and stress management

Your results will also be influenced by how well your body adapts to and integrates the SoftWave-induced cellular changes. The better your overall health and wellness habits, the longer your results are likely to last.

3. Do You Need Tune-Ups?

While some patients complete their initial care plan and feel great for the long term, others find that periodic “tune-up” or booster sessions help them stay active, pain-free, and fully functional.

Tune-ups may be a great fit for you if:

  • You're trying to avoid surgery down the road

  • You want a natural alternative to injections or medications

  • You’re seeking to minimize prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers

  • You're a competitive athlete or push your body to its limits

  • You suffer from moderate-to-severe arthritis

  • You're managing chronic inflammation or autoimmune pain

  • You have a physically demanding job or lifestyle

Tune-ups help to reactivate stem cell responses, maintain healthy tissue regeneration, and keep inflammation at bay before it leads to new or recurring issues.

4. How Often Should I Get Tune-Ups?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to maintenance care with SoftWave. Your specific condition, goals, and preferences all play a role in how often you may benefit from a tune-up.

Our general recommendations:

  • Every 4 weeks for patients managing chronic pain or staying ahead of degeneration

  • Every 3–4 months for those maintaining results from their original care plan

  • As-needed for athletes or those recovering from re-injury, stress, or overtraining

Some patients may never need another session, while others choose to incorporate SoftWave into their ongoing wellness and performance routine.

Whatever your goals, Dr. John Stoetzel and the Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic team are here to guide you every step of the way with recommendations based on your healing, mobility, and progress.
