"Is SoftWave Therapy Safe and Effective for My Teenage Student-Athlete?"

Teenage student-athletes push their bodies to the limit, balancing intense practices, games, strength training, and recovery all while dealing with the demands of school. Whether they play baseball, soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, hockey, wrestling, track and field, or any other sport, these young athletes face a high risk of overuse injuries, strains, sprains, and joint pain.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we specialize in helping teen athletes recover faster, reduce pain, and optimize performance with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. Dr. Sam Camarata, who sponsors his 13-year-old son's travel baseball team, has personally used SoftWave Therapy on his son and teammates countless times in-season and off-season training for pain relief, recovery, and improved strength—with great success! Dr. Sam and Dr. Brian Dickinson have extensive experience working with high school athletes in every sport from various schools in the Rochester, NY, Monroe County area.

Common Sports Injuries in Teenage Athletes That SoftWave Helps With

SoftWave Therapy is used by professional athletes in the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, UFC, PGA, USATF and NCAA to stay in peak condition. Colleges such as Georgia, Tennessee, Nebraska, Penn State and many more are utilizing SoftWave Therapy with their athletes! It is equally safe and effective for high school athletes who want to recover faster and stay on the field!

SoftWave Therapy has been shown to help with (but not limited to!):

• Knee Pain & Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendinitis, Meniscus Injuries, ACL/MCL/LCL Sprains)

• Shoulder Pain (Rotator Cuff Strains, Impingement, Labrum Tears, Biceps Tendinitis)

• Elbow & Wrist Pain (Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow, UCL Injuries, Wrist Tendinitis)

• Foot & Ankle Injuries (Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, Ankle Sprains)

• Back & Sciatica Pain (Lumbar Strains, Disc Issues, Pinched Nerves)

• Hip & Groin Injuries (Hip Flexor Strains, IT Band Syndrome)

How Does SoftWave Therapy Work for Teenage Athletes?

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into soft tissues, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. It triggers biological healing responses at the cellular level, stimulating:

• Angiogenesis & VEGF: New blood vessel formation to improve circulation and nutrient delivery.

• Stem Cell Activation & Migration: Stimulating the body's natural repair mechanisms.

• Neovascularization: Enhancing oxygen and blood flow to speed up recovery.

• Modulation of Inflammation: Reducing excessive inflammation without drugs or steroids.

• Flushing Out Trapped Inflammation & Scar Tissue: Clearing old injuries and promoting tissue repair and regeneration.

Why Choose SoftWave for Teenage Athletes Over Traditional Treatments?

Many teenage athletes turn to medications, ice baths, physical therapy, or even injections to manage pain, but these are often short-term solutions that do not fix the root cause of the issue alone. SoftWave Therapy accelerates healing naturally without the need for drugs, cortisone shots, or unnecessary surgeries. Dr Sam and Dr Brian recommend combining SoftWave Therapy with your current PT and Chiropractic care to maximize best results!

Unlike surgery or invasive procedures, SoftWave Therapy has no downtime—allowing athletes to continue training while undergoing treatment. Most feel noticeable improvement after just the first few sessions, with long-lasting results after completing a recommended treatment plan.

How Many SoftWave Therapy Sessions Does My Teen Athlete Need?

The number of treatments depends on the injury and severity of pain:

• Mild sprains, strains, and tendinitis: 4-6 sessions on average (1-2x per week)

• Chronic injuries, nerve pain, disc issues, or severe inflammation: 6-8 sessions on average (1-2x per week)

• In-season recovery & maintenance: Weekly or bi-weekly treatments to enhance performance & reduce fatigue

• Off-season optimization: As needed to maintain joint and muscle health during strength training
