SoftWave Therapy in Stonebridge, Saskatoon
When stubborn pain hangs on or a new injury needs to heal fast, SoftWave therapy can help you move forward. At Pawlovich Chiropractic, we meet you where you are and keep things simple and clear, with honest guidance and care.
How SoftWave Works
SoftWave uses a water-based applicator to deliver acoustic waves that compress and expand tissue at a cellular level, helping improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and stimulate your body’s natural repair process, including activating its own healing cells. Rather than only managing symptoms, SoftWave is designed to promote recovery at the source.
Your first visit is a 30-minute Discovery Visit ($69) that includes a consultation, precise “mapping” of irritated areas, and an initial SoftWave session. This visit helps us determine if you are a good candidate while also starting the healing process. We take time to understand your condition and explain how this approach may help in your specific case.
During the mapping process, you may feel tenderness in areas that are irritated, while healthy tissue typically produces little to no sensation. Once identified, treatment is applied at a slightly higher therapeutic level to begin the healing process.
At the end of your visit, we will let you know if you are a candidate and, if appropriate, recommend a personalized treatment plan with clear expectations around timing, visits, and cost.
Who It’s For and What It Feels Like
SoftWave is well suited for chronic issues that have not responded to other care, as well as newer soft-tissue injuries where faster recovery is important. It works differently than many traditional approaches by helping stimulate healing within the tissue itself rather than only addressing symptoms.
It’s been particularly effective for areas like the shoulders and knees, which are often difficult to resolve, but it is also used across many joints and soft tissues throughout the body. During your visit, we will explain how treatment applies to your condition and what kind of response you may expect.
During the scan, irritated areas may feel tender while healthy tissue produces little to no sensation. Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable in certain spots, but not painful. Please wear clothing that allows for easy access for skin contact in the area being treated. SoftWave can be used on its own or in conjunction with chiropractic care. If we recommend combining approaches, we will explain how each part supports your recovery.

Costs, Coverage, and Next Steps
Your recommended plan and number of visits depend on your specific findings, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach. SoftWave is not typically a one-time treatment, since it supports healing over a series of visits.
We will review timelines, visit fees, and how your health benefits may apply during your Discovery Visit. Many extended health plans partially or fully cover treatment, although we do not direct-bill for SoftWave.
