Foot & Ankle Pain Relief with SoftWave Therapy in Raleigh, NC at Active Chiropractic & Wellness

Non-Surgical, Non-Injection Healing for Mobility, Comfort, and Long-Term Recovery

Foot and ankle pain can stop you in your tracks—literally. Whether it’s the stabbing pain of plantar fasciitis first thing in the morning, or lingering discomfort after an ankle sprain, chronic foot and ankle conditions can make walking, running, standing, or exercising difficult and painful.

At Active Chiropractic & Wellness in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Molly Hall and her team are helping patients find real relief with a breakthrough regenerative solution called SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. This non-invasive therapy addresses the root cause of pain while promoting true healing of the damaged soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, and nerves in the foot and ankle.


What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is a cutting-edge non-surgical technology developed in Germany. It uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, penetrating deep into tissue layers to stimulate biological healing at the cellular level.

This treatment is ideal for hard-to-treat foot and ankle conditions, offering powerful benefits such as:

  • Significant reduction in inflammation and pain

  • Increased blood flow and tissue oxygenation

  • Repair and regeneration of tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves

  • Restoration of mobility, strength, and function

  • A safe, effective alternative to injections, medications, or surgery

Conditions Treated with SoftWave Therapy in the Foot & Ankle

The foot and ankle contain 33 joints, over 100 muscles,tendons and ligaments, and countless nerves that are susceptible to overuse, injury, and degeneration. At Active Chiropractic & Wellness, SoftWave Therapy has proven effective in helping patients recover from a wide variety of conditions, including:

  • Plantar Fasciitis – Inflammation and tearing of the plantar fascia causing heel and arch pain

  • Achilles Tendonitis – Overuse or strain of the Achilles tendon resulting in stiffness and pain

  • Heel Spur Pain – Chronic inflammation and calcium deposits creating stabbing pain under the heel

  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome – Nerve entrapment in the ankle leading to burning, tingling, or numbness

  • Peroneal Tendonitis – Outer ankle pain and instability caused by tendon inflammation

  • Morton’s Neuroma – Nerve irritation between the toes causing sharp, burning pain

  • Metatarsalgia – Inflammation in the ball of the foot aggravated by standing or running

  • Ankle Sprains – Soft tissue injury from ligament strain or tearing

  • Sports Injuries and Recovery – Sprains, strains, tendon irritation, and post-game inflammation

  • Post-Surgical Pain and Recovery – Aiding healing after foot or ankle procedures

  • Stress Fractures – Repetitive impact injuries common in runners and athletes

  • Running Injuries and Overuse Syndromes – Chronic pain from gait imbalances or excessive training

  • Osteoarthritis of the Foot and Ankle – Joint degeneration leading to stiffness and chronic discomfort

  • Lymphedema – Swelling and poor circulation in the foot and ankle

  • Peripheral Neuropathy and Nerve Pain – Burning, tingling, or numbness from nerve dysfunction

SoftWave Therapy offers deep tissue stimulation and repair that other therapies simply cannot reach—without needles, incisions, or downtime.


The Science Behind the Relief

What makes SoftWave different is the scientific foundation behind the healing. Each session stimulates key biological responses that support long-term tissue and nerve regeneration:

  • Modulation of Inflammation – Calms chronic inflammation to create an optimal healing environment

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) – Stimulates new blood vessel formation for improved tissue oxygenation

  • Neovascularization & Angiogenesis – Enhances nutrient delivery and cellular turnover

  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) – Promotes vasodilation and improved circulation

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) – Supports cell replication and tissue repair

  • BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Protein) – Encourages repair in soft tissue and bone

  • Toll-Like Receptor Modulation – Assists with immune system regulation and tissue homeostasis

  • Activation of Resident Stem Cells – Stimulates healing and regeneration of tendons, fascia, nerves, and joints

This unique cellular response sets the stage for true recovery—not just temporary symptom management.
