SoftWave therapy in Hudsonville, MI — non-invasive acoustic wave treatment that stimulates the body's own repair response to heal stubborn pain and soft-tissue injuries.
Heights Chiropractic Center
SoftWave Therapy in Houston
Some injuries stall. The pain lingers for months, the tissue never quite heals, and rest and stretching only go so far. SoftWave therapy at ABC Chiropractic is a non-invasive way to jump-start healing in exactly those cases — using acoustic waves to wake up the body's own repair response in tissue that's been stuck. No drugs, no needles, no downtime.
We assess your injury and history to confirm SoftWave is a good fit — it shines on chronic tendon, fascia, and joint pain that hasn't responded to rest alone.
Step 2
Targeted acoustic-wave sessions
A handheld applicator delivers the waves directly to the injured tissue. Sessions are quick, comfortable, and require zero downtime afterward.
Step 3
Combine with care and rehab
We pair SoftWave with adjustments and targeted exercises so the regenerating tissue rebuilds under healthy mechanics — and the result holds.

The basics
About softwave therapy
SoftWave is a form of regenerative acoustic-wave therapy. A handheld applicator sends unfocused, low-intensity shockwaves into the injured area. Those waves do two things: they dramatically increase blood flow to tissue that's often poorly circulated (tendons and fascia heal slowly precisely because they get so little blood), and they signal the body to recruit its own repair cells to the site.
The result is a healing response in tissue that had effectively given up trying to repair itself. For chronic tendon problems, plantar fasciitis, and stubborn joint pain, that restarted repair process is often what finally moves the needle. SoftWave is non-invasive and requires no recovery time, so it pairs naturally with chiropractic care and rehab — addressing the tissue while we address the mechanics.

What is SoftWave therapy?
SoftWave is a non-invasive, regenerative acoustic-wave therapy. A handheld applicator delivers unfocused, low-intensity shockwaves into injured tissue, where they boost circulation and activate the body’s own repair cells. It’s a way to restart the healing process in tissue that’s been stuck — without drugs, injections, or surgery.
At ABC Chiropractic in Hudsonville, Dr. Nick Fischer uses SoftWave for the injuries that tend to stall out: chronic tendon problems, plantar fasciitis, and joint pain that rest and stretching alone haven’t fixed.
What to expect
After confirming SoftWave is a good fit for your injury, your clinician applies the handheld device directly to the affected area. You’ll feel a tapping or pulsing sensation as the waves work into the tissue. Sessions are short and comfortable, and there’s no downtime — you can return to your normal day right away.
Because SoftWave works with your body’s biology, results build over a series of sessions rather than appearing all at once. We pair it with chiropractic care and rehab so the regenerating tissue rebuilds under healthy mechanics.

What does SoftWave therapy feel like?+
Most patients describe a tapping or pulsing sensation over the treated area. It's generally well tolerated — some tenderness during treatment is normal, especially over an inflamed area, and there's no downtime afterward.
How many sessions will I need?+
It varies by condition, but many patients do a series of sessions over a few weeks. Chronic tendon and fascia injuries typically respond best to a consistent course. Dr. Fischer will recommend a plan after evaluating your injury.
What conditions respond best to SoftWave?+
Chronic soft-tissue and joint problems respond best — plantar fasciitis, rotator-cuff issues, tennis and golfer's elbow, knee pain, and lingering strains that haven't healed with rest. It's especially useful when poor circulation has stalled recovery.
Is SoftWave therapy safe?+
Yes — it's non-invasive and well tolerated. We screen during your exam for the few contraindications (for example, treating directly over certain conditions), and your clinician will confirm it's appropriate before starting.
“I have been coming to Dr Dushkin for a series of appointments to treat my knee with the Softwave therapy. My knee feels better and more stable. It is supposed to be supportive of tissue regeneration. The staff is kind and professional. I look forward to further results as I continue my therapy.”

“I have been suffering from trigeminal neuralgia pain on the right side of my face for over two years and was taking Pregabalin (75mg) for it. While looking for more information, I discovered MLS Laser therapy with Dr. Aaron Dushkin. I started three weeks ago, and I have been off medication for two weeks now. Thank you, Dr. Aaron, for being a part of this journey. 💯🙏”
