SoftWave therapy in Covington.
Understand the option. Ask the right questions. Start with an evaluation to discuss whether SoftWave belongs in your care plan.
What is SoftWave?
SoftWave is a branded acoustic-wave treatment. A handheld applicator delivers acoustic pulses to a selected treatment area. It differs from a chiropractic adjustment and from electrical stimulation. Whether it is suitable depends on the condition being evaluated and the treatment protocol.
Our Covington office lists SoftWave among its treatment options. This page explains how to discuss it with the team; it is not a diagnosis or a promise that this therapy will resolve your symptoms.
Start with the cause—not the equipment
Back, shoulder, leg or other musculoskeletal pain can arise from different problems. Your history and examination come first. Tell the clinician about previous diagnoses, medication, recent surgery, pregnancy, implanted devices or other relevant health conditions so they can assess precautions and alternatives.
Do not delay medical evaluation of new or worsening symptoms while trying a therapy. The appropriate plan may involve exercise, other conservative care, a medical referral or no use of this particular treatment.
Questions to ask at your evaluation
- What diagnosis or working explanation are we treating?
- What evidence supports SoftWave for my specific condition?
- What side effects or precautions apply to me?
- What other treatments could I consider?
- What will this cost, and when will we reassess progress?
- What should I do between visits, and when should I contact you?

Where can I ask about SoftWave therapy?
SoftWave is listed among the therapies at our Covington office, 409 W 6th St, Covington, KY 41011. Call (859) 307-8779 to confirm current availability and arrange an evaluation. Our office is in Kentucky and welcomes patients from the Greater Cincinnati area.
Is SoftWave right for my pain?
That depends on your diagnosis, medical history and examination. Pain in the same area can have different causes. A clinician needs to explain whether this option is appropriate, what alternatives exist, and whether another type of medical evaluation is needed.
How much does a course of care cost?
Ask for current evaluation and treatment fees before deciding on care. The number of visits and any insurance coverage depend on your situation. Request a clear explanation of the proposed costs and do not assume this therapy is covered by your plan.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Response varies with the condition and the individual. Ask what improvement would look like, when progress will be reviewed and what happens if the treatment does not help. A therapy should not be presented as a guaranteed alternative to surgery or other necessary care.
