What Happens After a Discounted SoftWave First Visit?

A low first-visit price can leave people wondering what comes next. Here's exactly what our $49 visit includes and what happens afterward.

Short answer: after your $49 first visit, you'll receive a recommendation based on your evaluation and how you responded to your first treatment, along with written pricing. You are not required to buy anything that day.

What the First Visit Includes

Our $49 new patient first visit includes a doctor consultation, a full diagnostic evaluation, and your first SoftWave treatment covering one treatment area — a $495 retail value. Ongoing care is quoted in writing after your evaluation. Details are on our new patient special page.

Assessment Before Recommendations

Your evaluation reviews your history, prior treatments, movement, and the likely source of pain. If SoftWave isn't a good fit, or if imaging or a referral makes more sense, we'll tell you. Guidance from the AAOS on common orthopedic treatments can help you prepare questions.

Written Plan and Costs

If treatment is recommended, you'll see the proposed number of visits and the price — for example, a 4-visit or 8-visit package — before anything begins. Full pricing is on our cost page.

Time to Decide

Take the plan home, compare options, and ask questions. Useful questions include what evidence supports treatment for your diagnosis (searchable on PubMed), when progress will be reviewed, and what happens if you stop early. The Federal Trade Commission also offers tips on evaluating health offers.
