A Regenerative, Non-Surgical Breakthrough at Active Chiropractic & Wellness in Raleigh, NC

Knee pain can limit your mobility, independence, and quality of life. Whether you’re experiencing chronic pain from knee osteoarthritis or have been diagnosed with a meniscus tear, you may feel like your options are limited to steroid injections, pain medications, or surgery.

But at Active Chiropractic & Wellness in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Molly Hall and her team are offering patients a safe, non-invasive, drug-free solution:
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy—a powerful technology that works at the cellular level to reduce pain, improve function, and promote true healing.


Understanding the Problem: Knee Osteoarthritis and Meniscus Tears

What is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where the cartilage that cushions the knee wears down over time. This leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of mobility. It’s one of the most common causes of knee pain, especially in older adults and active individuals with a history of joint wear and tear.

What is a Meniscus Tear?

The meniscus is a wedge-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between your thighbone and shinbone. It can be torn from sports injuries, repetitive stress, or simply the degeneration that occurs with age.

Meniscus tears often cause:

  • Swelling

  • Sharp or catching pain

  • Instability in the knee

  • Difficulty bending or straightening the leg


Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short

Common approaches include:

  • Rest and physical therapy

  • Cortisone injections and gels

  • Anti-inflammatory medications

  • Arthroscopic surgery or even full knee replacement

While these may offer short-term relief, they don’t always address the underlying cellular damage. Surgeries carry risks, downtime, and don’t guarantee improved outcomes—especially with arthritis.


The SoftWave Solution: A Proven Technology for Knee Healing

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s own natural repair mechanisms. The energy waves penetrate deeply into the joint and surrounding tissues, creating a biological healing response that promotes repair, regeneration and healing, not just symptom control.

How It Works:

  • Increases blood flow and circulation through angiogenesis (via VEGF and eNOS)

  • Modulates inflammation by targeting toll-like receptors

  • Activates and recruits resident stem cells to injured tissues

  • Promotes collagen production and tissue remodeling

  • Stimulates cellular repair (via PCNA and other healing markers)

  • Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that restrict motion and healing


Benefits of SoftWave for Knee Osteoarthritis and Meniscus Tears

  • Decreased knee pain and inflammation

  • Improved joint flexibility and mobility

  • Support for cartilage and connective tissue repair

  • Reduced stiffness and swelling

  • Delay or elimination of the need for surgery

  • Safe for all ages, including seniors and athletes

  • No injections, no downtime, no medications required


Why Patients Choose SoftWave Over Injections or Surgery

Many people are looking for conservative options before committing to joint injections or invasive surgery. SoftWave Therapy provides that alternative, offering long-term healing and symptom relief without side effects.

Trusted by leading institutions such as The Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Stanford, Harvard, and UCLA, and used by professional sports teams across the NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, and NCAA, SoftWave is a proven therapy now available right here in Raleigh.
