Gentle acoustic wave therapy that supports your body's natural ability to heal — no needles, no medication, no downtime.
Gentle, drug-free care · No referral needed
A New Way to Support Healing
At The Apple Valley Clinic, everything we do is built around one idea: your body was designed to heal. SoftWave therapy is a natural fit for that philosophy.
SoftWave uses broad, low-intensity acoustic waves that travel through the skin to the tissue underneath. That gentle stimulation increases local blood circulation and activates connective tissue — helping relieve minor aches and pains and giving the area what it needs to recover.
Sessions are quick and comfortable, and most patients go right back to their day afterward.

Gentle Waves, Natural Healing
A simple, comfortable process designed around your body's own repair response.
Locate the Area
Dr. Dalliès evaluates where your discomfort is coming from so treatment is focused on the right tissue — not just where it hurts.
Gentle Acoustic Waves
A handheld applicator delivers broad, low-intensity sound waves through a thin layer of gel. Most patients describe it as a light tapping sensation.
Support Recovery
The waves increase local blood circulation and activate connective tissue, supporting the body's natural healing process between visits.
Where Patients Use SoftWave
SoftWave can be applied to many areas of the body where muscles, tendons and connective tissue need support.
Shoulders
Stiffness and minor aches in the shoulder and rotator cuff area
Elbows & Wrists
Overuse discomfort from work, sports and daily tasks
Knees
Aches around the knee and surrounding soft tissue
Feet & Heels
Heel and arch discomfort, including the plantar fascia
Hips

Tight, overworked muscles through the neck and shoulders
Sports Recovery
Support for active patients getting back to what they love
SoftWave therapy is FDA-cleared for the temporary increase of local blood circulation, relief of minor aches and pains, and activation of connective tissue. Individual results vary. Chiropractic care and SoftWave therapy do not diagnose or cure disease. Talk with our team to find out whether SoftWave is right for you.
Better Together with Upper Cervical Care
Our specialty is the upper cervical spine — the relationship between the top two bones in the neck and the brainstem. When the nervous system is working the way it should, the body is better able to heal.
SoftWave adds focused support right where the tissue needs it. Together with your adjustments, massage therapy or spinal decompression, it becomes one more gentle, drug-free tool in your care plan.
Upper Cervical Adjustments
Address the nervous system at its source.
SoftWave Therapy
Support circulation and connective tissue in the problem area.
Massage & Decompression
Relax soft tissue and relieve pressure on the spine.

SoftWave FAQ
Does SoftWave therapy hurt?
Most patients find it very comfortable. You'll feel a light tapping or pulsing sensation where the applicator is placed. If an area is especially tender, we adjust the intensity.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your body and your goals. Many patients notice a difference within a few sessions. After your consultation, Dr. Dalliès will recommend a plan that makes sense for you.
Is there any downtime?
No. SoftWave is non-invasive, so you can return to your normal activities right after your session.
Can I combine SoftWave with my chiropractic care?
Yes. SoftWave is designed to complement upper cervical adjustments, massage therapy and spinal decompression as part of one care plan.
Is SoftWave right for everyone?
Not always. Some conditions, such as pregnancy or certain medical devices, may mean SoftWave isn't the right choice. We'll review your health history before any treatment.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Call us at (828) 698-6677 or send us a message to schedule your consultation.
