Is knee pain holding you back from the life you love?
Whether it's hiking the Horsetooth trails, staying active on the slopes, or simply getting through the day — knee pain robs you of the activities that matter most. You don't have to keep living with it.
Aching after activity Pain that flares up after walks, hikes, or workouts and won't settle down.
Stiffness in the morning That familiar grinding or locking sensation when you first get out of bed.
Swelling & inflammation Chronic puffiness around the joint that just won't go away.
Failed treatments Tried injections, physical therapy, or medications with little lasting relief.
What is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave uses patented electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to reach deep into damaged knee tissue — stimulating your body's own healing response at the cellular level. It's the same regenerative technology trusted by elite athletes and orthopedic specialists worldwide.
At Trailhead Chiropractic, we combine SoftWave with our whole-body chiropractic approach to address not just the knee, but the underlying biomechanical patterns that contribute to your pain.
Step 1 — Assessment We pinpoint the exact source of your knee pain with a thorough functional evaluation.
Step 2 — Treatment The SoftWave device is applied directly to the knee — most sessions take 10–15 minutes.
Step 3 — Healing Acoustic waves trigger stem cell activation, new blood vessel growth, and tissue repair.
Step 4 — Results Most patients notice significant improvement within 3–6 treatments.
