Not all shockwave is the same. SoftWave uses patented unfocused technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing process — deeper, broader, and more effectively than traditional devices.

What Is SoftWave Therapy?
Why SoftWave Is Different
The term “shockwave therapy” covers a wide range of devices with very different technologies and very different results. Here’s what sets SoftWave apart.

The Science
Four things happen inside your tissue during every SoftWave session — all of them are your body’s natural healing mechanisms, triggered by the acoustic wave.
Stem Cell Activation
Dormant stem cells are mobilized and directed to the damaged tissue to begin repair.
Increased Blood Flow
New blood vessels form and circulation improves — delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissue that has been starved of it.
Inflammation Reduction
Chronic inflammation — a primary driver of ongoing pain — is actively reduced at the cellular level.
Tissue Regeneration
New, healthy tissue is produced. Scar tissue breaks down. Function is gradually restored.
What We Treat With SoftWave
SoftWave is particularly effective for chronic conditions where tissue has stopped healing on its own — and for injuries where other treatments haven’t delivered lasting results.
Every Session — Directly With Dr. Funk
Unlike many practices where SoftWave is administered by a tech or assistant, every session at Longevity Performance Systems is conducted directly by Dr. Funk. Your assessment, your treatment, your progress — all with the doctor. Every time.
What to Expect
Before Your Session
Dr. Funk will assess your condition and confirm SoftWave is the right tool for what you’re dealing with. No referral needed. No lengthy intake process.
During Treatment
The device is applied directly to the affected area. Most patients feel a gentle pulsing sensation. Sessions typically last 5 to 15 minutes. Some patients notice immediate relief. Others feel mild soreness that resolves within a few hours.
After Your Session
You leave and get on with your day. No rest required. No activity restrictions. Results build progressively — most patients start to see improvement within 3 to 6 sessions.

The questions we hear most about SoftWave before a first visit.
SoftWave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses patented acoustic wave technology to activate the body’s natural healing processes. It helps reduce pain, address inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration.
SoftWave Therapy delivers broad-focused, low-intensity acoustic waves to the affected area, stimulating increased blood flow and cellular activity. This process promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and targets the root cause of pain without medication or surgery.
SoftWave Therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including:
Yes, SoftWave Therapy has several FDA-clearances and is non-invasive and safe for most patients.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. Some describe the sensation as a mild tapping. Any discomfort typically subsides right after the session.
A typical session lasts between 5-10 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the condition.
During your first session, Dr. Nate will evaluate your condition and discuss your treatment goals. The SoftWave applicator will be applied to the affected area, and you may hear a clicking sound as the acoustic waves are delivered.
SoftWave Therapy is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with chronic pain, athletes recovering from injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, podiatric needs, or anyone seeking an alternative to surgery or medications. Talk to your provider to determine if it’s right for you.
SoftWave Therapy has minimal side effects. Some patients may experience slight redness or mild tenderness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours.
It depends on the condition and how long it has been present. Most patients see significant improvement within 3 to 6 sessions. Chronic conditions that have been present for years may require more. Dr. Funk will give you an honest assessment at your first visit — not an open-ended treatment plan.
Yes. There is no downtime with SoftWave. Most patients return to work, training, or their regular schedule immediately after treatment. No restrictions, no recovery period.
SoftWave is specifically effective for chronic conditions where other treatments have stalled or provided only temporary relief. If your tissue has stopped healing on its own — which is exactly what happens with most chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries — SoftWave gives your body the signal it needs to start the repair process again. The best way to know if it’s right for your specific situation is to start with a consultation.
SoftWave TRT is not covered by insurance. Dr. Funk will discuss pricing and options at your consultation — before you commit to anything.
SoftWave Therapy is unique because it penetrates wide and deep into the tissue and works at a cellular level, promoting true healing rather than just masking symptoms. It’s non-invasive, evidence-based, and effective for a wide range of conditions.
