Red Light Therapy + SoftWave Therapy: The Ultimate Duo for Pain Relief and Inflammation at Active Chiropractic & Wellness in Raleigh, NC

Published July 10th, 2025 by Active Chiropractic & Wellness

A Powerful Combination for Athletes, Arthritis Sufferers, Tendinitis, and Neuropathy Patients

When it comes to natural healing, two of the most advanced technologies in regenerative care are now being combined at Active Chiropractic & Wellness to produce transformative results: Red Light Therapy and SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology.

Whether you're an athlete, someone struggling with chronic joint pain, arthritis, tendinitis, or a person living with peripheral neuropathy, this combination is changing lives—without drugs, injections, or surgery.


What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses low-level red and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into the skin and tissues. This light stimulates the mitochondria in cells—essentially the cell’s “powerhouse”—to produce more energy (ATP), which leads to improved healing, reduced pain, and lower inflammation.

Key benefits of Red Light Therapy:

  • Reduces inflammation and swelling

  • Increases circulation and oxygen flow to tissues

  • Speeds up recovery of soft tissues and joints

  • Decreases joint and muscle pain

  • Supports nerve repair and cellular regeneration

  • Improves collagen production and cellular function


What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to create a biological response in injured, inflamed, or degenerative tissues. These acoustic waves travel at over 3,000 mph and trigger a powerful healing cascade that includes:

  • Activation and migration of stem cells

  • Reduction of inflammation

  • Stimulation of blood vessel growth (angiogenesis)

  • Regeneration of soft tissue, ligaments, tendons, and nerves

  • Reversal of chronic degeneration

SoftWave is used and trusted by top medical institutions like The Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Walter Reed Military Center, Harvard, Stanford, and UCLA, and it is widely implemented in professional sports, including the NFL, MLB, NBA, PGA, UFC, and NCAA athletic programs.


Why Combine Red Light Therapy and SoftWave?

When used together, Red Light Therapy and SoftWave Therapy create a synergistic effect that enhances healing on multiple levels:

1. Cellular Energy + Regeneration

Red light increases ATP production, giving cells the energy they need to respond more effectively to the regenerative stimulation created by SoftWave.

2. Deeper Inflammation Control

SoftWave modulates inflammatory processes at the tissue level, while red light therapy reduces oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines, accelerating recovery.

3. Enhanced Blood Flow and Circulation

Red light boosts local circulation, and SoftWave promotes angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). Together, they restore nutrient and oxygen delivery for optimal healing.

4. Nerve and Tissue Repair

For conditions like peripheral neuropathy, tendinitis, and arthritis, both therapies stimulate nerve regeneration and collagen remodeling, reducing pain and improving mobility.


Conditions That Respond Exceptionally Well to This Combination

For Athletes:

  • Muscle recovery

  • Tendinitis (patellar, Achilles, rotator cuff, etc.)

  • Joint inflammation

  • Sprains and strains

  • Performance optimization during training and competition

For Chronic Pain and Inflammation:

  • Osteoarthritis of the knees, hips, shoulders, hands, and spine

  • Tendinitis and bursitis

  • Peripheral neuropathy and nerve-related pain

  • Post-surgical pain and inflammation

  • Long-standing soft tissue injuries or scar tissue buildup


What Patients Are Saying

Patients report faster pain relief, quicker recovery, and greater mobility when Red Light and SoftWave therapies are combined. Many are finally able to cancel injections, wean off pain medications, and avoid surgeries altogether.
