The Physics And Science Beyond This Device

SoftWave's OrthoGold 100 is an advanced shock wave device using electrohydraulic spark gap technology. Its patented design features a parabolic reflector applicator that produces highly effective, low-intensity unfocused shock waves.

The applicator spreads energy to a large area of both superficial and deep tissue soliciting a biological response to initiate the body's natural healing process.
