Can SoftWave Therapy Help Tendinitis in the Hand, Wrist, and Finger?

Published December 21st, 2024 by Dr. Sam Camarata

Tendinitis is a common issue that can cause pain and discomfort in the hand, wrist, and fingers, often affecting daily activities, work, and hobbies. At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we specialize in SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology, a groundbreaking therapy that offers relief for conditions like tendinitis without the need for surgery or injections. But how exactly can this technology help with tendinitis in the hand, wrist, and finger? Let’s dive in.

Understanding Tendinitis in the Hand, Wrist, and Finger

What Is Tendinitis?

Tendinitis occurs when the tendons, which connect muscles to bones, become inflamed or irritated. This condition often develops due to repetitive movements, overuse, or sudden injuries. Common areas for tendinitis in the hand and wrist include:

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (affects the tendons at the base of the thumb)
Trigger Finger (caused by inflammation of the tendons in the fingers)
Wrist Tendinitis (affects the tendons surrounding the wrist joint)
Finger tendinitis and more!

Symptoms of Tendinitis

Pain: Localized pain that worsens with movement
Swelling: Inflammation and swelling around the affected area
Stiffness: Difficulty moving the hand, wrist, or fingers
Tenderness: Sensitivity when touching the affected area

The Role of SoftWave Therapy in Tendinitis Relief

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is a non-invasive therapy that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. Unlike traditional methods that only manage symptoms, SoftWave Therapy targets the root cause of tendinitis by promoting tissue repair and regeneration.

Mechanisms of SoftWave Therapy for Tendinitis

Flushing Out Inflammation
SoftWave Therapy helps to reduce trapped inflammation in the affected tendons, alleviating swelling and pain.
Improved Blood Flow and Circulation
By stimulating angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), SoftWave increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to the injured tendons, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.
Stem Cell Activation
The acoustic waves work through mechanotransduction, a process that activates and migrates the body’s resident stem cells to the site of injury. These stem cells play a crucial role in repairing damaged tendons and tissues.
Modulation of Inflammation
SoftWave modulates the inflammatory response, helping to balance the body’s healing process and preventing chronic inflammation.
Pain Relief
The therapy stimulates toll-like receptors (TLRs), which are key in reducing pain and inflammation at the cellular level, offering immediate and long-term relief.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Hand, Wrist, and Finger Tendinitis

SoftWave Therapy offers a variety of benefits for patients suffering from tendinitis, including:

Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: No surgery, injections, or medications required
Rapid Pain Relief: Most patients notice a significant reduction in pain after just one session
Faster Recovery: Promotes faster healing of tendons and surrounding tissues
Improved Mobility: Restores range of motion and functionality in the hand, wrist, and fingers
Long-Term Results: Reduces the likelihood of recurring tendinitis by addressing the root cause

A Superior Alternative to Traditional Treatments

Traditional treatments for tendinitis often include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, or even corticosteroid injections. While these methods may offer temporary relief, they do not address the underlying damage to the tendons. SoftWave Therapy is unique because it focuses on repairing and regenerating tissues, making it a superior option for long-term recovery.

What to Expect During Your SoftWave Therapy Sessions

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, your first SoftWave session begins with a mapping session, where we locate the exact areas of inflammation and damage. The treatment itself involves the application of supersonic acoustic waves to the affected area.

Patients often report:

A pulsating sensation during treatment as the waves penetrate deep into the tissues.
Pain relief following the session.
Noticeable improvement in mobility and function after just a few sessions.

On average, 6–8 treatments are recommended for optimal results, though many patients may notice significant improvement after just the first visit!
