Tendonitis and Tendinopathy Treatment in Solana Beach
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy — non-surgical, drug-free care.
Tendons are slow to heal — they have limited blood supply, and chronic irritation can drag on for months or years. SoftWave is one of the most evidence-backed treatments available for tendonitis and tendinopathy anywhere in the body.
- Pain at the start of activity that may ease, then return
- Stiffness in the morning or after rest
- Tenderness when pressing on the tendon
- Weakness, swelling, or thickening of the tendon
- Pain that hasn't responded to rest, NSAIDs, or PT alone
- Repetitive overload — running, lifting, manual work, sports
- Sudden increases in training intensity
- Aging tissue with reduced blood supply
- Chronic tendinosis with disorganized collagen
How SoftWave Helps Tendonitis
SoftWave triggers a regenerative cascade in degenerated tendon tissue — stimulating angiogenesis, recruiting stem cells, and releasing growth factors that rebuild healthy collagen. It addresses the root cause of tendinopathy instead of suppressing symptoms.
What to Expect
Most tendonitis cases respond within 6–8 sessions. We pair SoftWave with appropriate loading — the combination almost always outperforms either approach alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter which tendon is affected?▾
Not really. SoftWave is used successfully on Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, elbow, gluteal, hamstring, and other tendons. The underlying biology of tendinopathy is the same.
Is SoftWave better than cortisone for tendonitis?▾
For chronic tendinopathy, yes — research shows cortisone can worsen long-term tendon health. SoftWave promotes actual healing rather than just suppressing inflammation.
