At Better Brain & Body, we understand that back pain affects far more than just your spine. It disrupts your mind-body connection, interfering with your posture, cognitive function, energy levels, and overall neurological well-being. That’s why we take a brain-body approach to health and healing—combining advanced diagnostic testing, neuro-integrative therapies, and personalized non-invasive treatment plans to restore function from the inside out.

One of the therapies in our repertoire that may be used with patients experiencing back pain or other types of pain, such as chronic pain, is SoftWave TRT (Tissue Regeneration Therapy). This innovative technology utilizes the gentle power of sound waves to stimulate cellular repair and promote natural healing and regenerative processes. As more people seek non-invasive and practical options for pain relief and recovery, SoftWave TRT offers transformative technology that transcends the limits of traditional therapies, long-term pain medications, and ineffective treatments. From athletes seeking to enhance recovery and performance to those battling chronic pain, SoftWave is a unique and promising therapy for various types of ailments, which we’ll discuss in this blog post.

Why You Might Be Struggling with Back Pain

Back pain can develop gradually through years of poor posture or result from a sudden injury. It’s often more than a musculoskeletal issue. Musculoskeletal includes tendons, ligaments, connective tissues, joints, bones, and muscles. Pain can also be tied to how your brain and nervous system perceive pain and regulate muscle activity. Common causes we address include:

Herniated or bulging discs
Sciatic nerve irritation
Muscle imbalance and poor motor control
Degenerative spinal changes
Spinal misalignment and inflammation
Neurological dysfunction/conditions that alter movement patterns
Vestibular Dysfunction
Sympathetic Overdrive
Gait & Visual System Integration Problems

Our team evaluates how your body and brain communicate to create a precise recovery and optimization plan.

SoftWave TRT Therapy & Our Brain-Body Approach to Lasting Relief

We go beyond traditional pain management. Our integrated care model combines functional neurology, chiropractic care, and general wellness care to deliver long-term results. Each back pain recovery plan may include:

Neurological and physical diagnostic assessments with our 7-step advanced diagnostic exam.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments using the Activator tool, tailored to restore nervous system function (no-cracking or manual movements).
Functional movement re-education with Emsculpt Neo or Virtualis Virtual Reality Therapy.
Neuromodulation therapy, which delivers gentle electrical impulses to nerves, helps relieve and alter pain pathways in the brain and nervous system.
Advanced laser therapies to relieve inflammation and enhance the body’s natural healing process.
PEMF Technologies to activate cells to respond better and execute daily functions efficiently.
Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation, which activates the body's "rest, digest, and recover" system, which can block or reduce pain signals.
Decompression table therapy, which decompresses spinal discs, relieves pressure on nerves, improves spinal alignment and increases spinal mobility.
Regenerative, natural pain relieving technology like SoftWave TRT.

Applications of SoftWave TRT

Due to SoftWave TRT therapy’s natural healing mechanisms and non-invasive nature, its potential extends far and wide in the conditions it may help. With over 240 research articles and publications, it has numerous applications for healing. See the complete list on their website here.

Muscle Strains	Ligament Sprains	Spinal Trauma
Chronic Lower Back Muscle Tightness	Myofascial Pain / Trigger Points	Sacroiliac (SI) Joint–Related Soft-Tissue Pain
Piriformis Syndrome	Sciatica	Tendinopathy of the Glutes, Hamstrings, Hip Flexor
Post-Surgical Scar Tissue	Non-union Bone Fractures	Chronic Pain
Overuse Injuries	Stress Fractures	Sports Injury

How SoftWave TRT Therapy Helps with Back Pain

Back pain often results from muscle strain, ligament injuries, or degenerative conditions like arthritis and disc problems. SoftWave therapy addresses these issues by:

Stimulating collagen production to strengthen connective tissues.
Activating stem cells that help regenerate damaged muscles and ligaments.
Interrupting pain signals to provide relief without medication.
Increasing blood circulation to the injured area, which speeds up healing.
Reducing inflammation that causes swelling and discomfort.

SoftWave therapy is applied to a patient's back for pain. — Special conductive gel is used during treatment.

Patients typically experience gradual improvement over several sessions, with many reporting reduced pain and better mobility after just a few treatments.

Why We Use SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate deep tissue healing. It increases circulation, reduces inflammation, activates stem cells, and supports tissue regeneration—all with no downtime or medication.

For patients with chronic pain or recurring back pain, especially those with highly reactive nervous systems, SoftWave offers a powerful solution that complements our brain-based therapies.

SoftWave therapy has a proven track record with professional athletic teams worldwide. Over 29 teams, including the Atlanta Falcons, New York Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Knicks, and Philadelphia Eagles, use SoftWave TRT for recovery, back pain, and other ailments. Similarly, Mayo Clinic, a major medical institution, also uses SoftWave. At Better Brain & Body, we offer this same therapy to the benefit of our patients.

As noted in a systematic review by Hye Chang Rhim et al., in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, “High-level evidence for efficacy of ESWT has been reported in common athletic injuries, such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy with minimal side effects including temporary pain at the application site and skin bruising…” ESWT, or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, is the official classification for SoftWave TRT therapy.

Athletes take their health, performance, and recovery seriously, and many prioritize natural healing to avoid introducing foreign substances, mainly due to consistent drug testing. SoftWave provides effective results with no downtime, similar to Better Brain & Body's approach to treatment, enabling a safe, drug-free recovery.
