SoftWaves are created by means of a high-energy electrical discharge in water. The voltage is discharged between the opposing tips (plus and minus pole) of an electrode. The arcing or spark gap causes an equalization of voltage between the two tips of the electrode whereby a hot plasma bubble is created. This bubble explodes in all directions, compresses the surrounding water, and generates a pressure > 10 MPa within only a few nanoseconds (10-9ns).
SoftWave low intensity, unfocused energy is delivered via our patented parabolic reflector applicator in the form of parallel waves. SoftWave technology offers the ONLY UNFOCUSED SHOCK WAVE on the market. Despite this electrohydraulic shock wave energy in water traveling 5 times faster (3355mph) than in air (767 mph), it does not cause microtrauma.
SOFTWAVE TECHNOLOGY IS:
Stem cells are fundamentally the building blocks of life and have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells within the body. Stem cells are actively involved in repairing, regenerating, and rebuilding damaged or absent tissue (in the body) that has been affected by disease, infection, or injury.
Let the healing begin…one SoftWave at a time!
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technologies uses patented technology to reach an injured area at the cellular level to successfully turn on the body’s natural healing process.
Information Coming!
Cortisone aka Steroids ARE NOT FDA approved. Cortisone shots are injections that can help relieve pain and inflammation in a specific area of your body. They’re most commonly injected into joints — such as your ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine or wrist.
Cortisone (Steroid Injection) only mask pain symptoms and over time will disintegrate the joint that it is injected.
It is thought that cortisone shots might be most effective in treating inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
They can also be used to mask pain for the following conditions, including:
Although pain may be diminished, there are many un-healthy risks and potential side effects of cortisone shots, which increase with larger doses and repeated use.
Side effects can include:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cortisone-shots/about/pac-20384794
SoftWave is a much better choice over pills, injections of cortisone, or even so-call natural biologics.
SoftWave is:
Depends on the joint and damage. On average the treatment frequency is 2 times per week for a few weeks, and then 1 time per week for a few weeks over about a 6-8 period.
The treatment takes about 10-15 minutes.
During the first treatment, if you are uncomfortable when the SoftWaves enter the tissue we know that we have found damaged tissue. That is what we are looking for. This means that you are a great candidate for SoftWave treatment. 9 out of 10 people feel some immediate pain relief and an increase in function following the first treatment. Inflammation and pain will begin to diminish following the first treatment. Stem cells activate within 15 hours and keep activating after each treatment. Stem cells can act like sleepy soldiers that quickly get ready for action and repair. After the final treatment, stem cell activation continues for approximately 8-12 weeks, and connective tissue repair can continue for many months.
On average, treating one joint, for example, the knee, will cost under $1,500. Maintenance treatments cost half of the regular fee.
Once your treatment plan is completed, a maintenance schedule will be recommended.
Medicare won’t cover stem cell therapy for the joints. Commercial insurance companies like United Healthcare, Cigna, BCBS, etc. follow what Medicare approves. The cost of SoftWave is the patient’s responsibility.

I was still on crutches. Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable! Victoria was very knowledgeable about what I needed. Swelling was to the max so she focused on getting it down in which she did succeed! I began to walk without crutches after around my 5th treatment. I completed my eight sessions, seeing miraculous progress each time. Now I’m in sneakers and a brace and currently on a maintenance plan while doing physical therapy as well. This beats a plate and 2-3 screws anyway! I would recommend this to everyone! My mother n law had surgery on her shoulder and after just one treatment she could feel a difference! This is a game changer! DO IT!! This is not a paid ad Lol. It’s worth it! read less - 6/02/2022

Honestly was shocked. I didn't think it would help this fast. 60 to 70 percent less pain. Software only has a small amount of pain when doing it only on very sore spots. Wasn't as bad as I thought. I can't wait to go back and cost is well worth it via the cost and pain of a knee replacement. Once I'm done I'm going to get my other knee done then my neck.... All I can say is try it. $49 first visit and you will know in 30 minutes. They have payment plans also. read less - 5/19/2022

Unable to do my favorite sports put me in a desperate position. I’m only 47 so I refused to just give up and accept that I was old and broken so I tried a few things. Physical therapy helped to a small degree but the pain kept coming back. I tried infrared light which also helped a bit but not enough. I was at the end of my rope. I considered stem cell injections but the price was just way too high. That’s when I saw the softwave commercial from Dr. Nathan’s office. The science seemed to be valid so I decided to give it a shot.
I’ll admit I was very skeptical about it for the first few weeks. Without knowing anyone who tried it, it seemed like a big risk and I just crossed my fingers and hoped. After the first session I was able to go surfing without extreme pain for the first time in 2 years. I continued to go and things just got better and better. I finished the first round of 8 treatments and couldn’t be happier. I’m able to surf and skate without pain again and actually feel like I have my life back! Now I’m in a maintenance phase and look forward to treatments even though they are more spaced out.
I’m at a place now that I can comfortably recommend this treatment to people suffering with pain and debilitation like I was. The technicians that perform the treatment are highly educated in physiology and kinesiology so they are very well qualified to advise you on your specific circumstance. The entire staff at the office are friendly and welcoming and there’s just a great vibe. I told myself when I started this that I would not write a review unless I was very happy and satisfied with the treatment and results. So here I am! If you are suffering, just go do it. Get your life back. read less - 5/08/2022

I came in with primarily dizziness issues, which was honestly hell to deal with, especially while trying to sleep. Felt like I was gonna pass out sometimes, and it made daily activities much more tense than they needed to be, not to mention spurring on panic attacks. My wife found this office and set me up to try it out, and honestly I wasn’t sure how that could help the issue. However, this isn’t just some massage place: there are X-rays and scans and treatment plans. There’s even ultrasonic treatments for spurring stem cell growth to repair injuries. It’s a full-on healthcare facility, they’re just trying to improve the body’s own defense symptoms instead of handing you some pills to mask the problem and send you on your way. I’ve been receiving treatment from Dr. Thompson for probably half a year now, and things are a lot better. The dizziness is gone, and certainly my back feels better, which must have been uncomfortable for so long that I didn’t realize there was even a problem. Pain just becomes normal after long enough, I guess. Anyway, he fixed it, which is the important part. They also have nights where Dr. Thompson will give presentations on healthier living, a newsletter with information on threats to your health, and just an overall great approach to healthcare. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and it’s most certainly a place that’s worth your time, trust, and respect. read less - 12/29/2021

I wasn’t able to get out of bed, open my eyes for extended periods of time, or operate a vehicle some days. It wasn’t until I completely lost vision in both eyes that I decided to do something about it. My optometrist recommended Dr. Nathan’s office, so off I went. My husband and I were both skeptics to chiropractors, but I didn’t have a choice at that point. After 3 visits, I wasn’t having migraines anymore. When I went in on my second visit, Dr. Thompson worked some magic and literally adjusted me and the migraine was gone.
I have never been so educated on how the spine and nervous system work. They don’t just “crack your back”. They explain what they’re doing and why it’s important to have everything in alignment.
Last thing... the office is so family friendly! I have brought my three year old with me to every appointment and all of the staff welcome him as we come and go. We will definitely be “lifers” here!! read less - 2/09/2021

I was not willing to jump into having surgery. I was sick of taking over the counter pain pills and creams. I saw an ad for I believe they call it soft wave therapy offered through Alan Nathans Chiropractic. Although very skeptical I was at a point where I was willing to try almost anything. The results after just one treatment are miraculous. My pain in my shoulder has decreased by at least 25% and I find myself within 24 of hours of treatment unconsciously using my right arm more and more as the day went on I have tears of relief in my eyes I can't say enough about staff and the therapy that this piece of equipment provides. Not to mention They have Saturday hours which is a blessing that you don't have to miss work to receive your treatments. I fully recommend Alan Nathans Family Chiropractic. 10 stars.

So I said I will rest the weekend and wear my back brace. Well, Monday morning came and I could not go to work. I called Alan and they fit me right in the same day. My wife had to drive me and I barely could walk. This is when Alan suggested the soft tissue therapy. At this point I would have done anything to ease the pain.
Remember the miracle on ice back in 1980... well it happened that day. Five minutes later I was walking up and down the hallway. Now I was not 100% but I up and going.
I can try tell you how great the staff is at Alan Nathans office and the care you receive but my words would not be enough.
So if you think there is no hope visit his office and find out for yourself. You have nothing to lose.
All I can say is thank you for caring Dr. Nathans and staff.

We just had a meeting with an orthopedic surgeon this week because my son turns 18 in a couple of months. Great news!! Hip alignment is perfect, leg lengths are perfectly symmetrical, absolutely NO arthritis. We’ve seen Dr Nathan since we moved to Jax 6 plus yrs ago and he’s adjusted my son through all major growth spurts. Dr Nathan is so kind, so patient and incredibly knowledgeable. I can’t express enough gratitude to Dr Nathan and his team. I now live in St Augustine and drive almost an hour for our adjustments. It’s worth it. He gave my son a precious gift. My sons quality of life is significantly better because we found Dr Nathan years ago. read less - 12/08/2018

Months of podiatrists and physical therapy were getting no results. I was frustrated, not only by the lack of progress, but also because my active lifestyle was at a standstill. Dr. Nathans has started to turn all that around. He set a plan in place to take me from the Critical Care stage I was in back through the Critical Transition Phase where I could start to heal. I now understand that before my body could properly heal my foot and body had to get back into correct alignment After 9 months of not being able to run I recently completed a 5K. With Dr. Nathan’s help I’m committed to Lifestyle Care and hope to be able to continue running for many years to come. read less - 12/05/2018

A co-worker suggested I try a chiropractor for my back pain so I did some research, found Dr. Nathans and decided to make an appointment, best decision I've ever made. After my first adjustment I felt immediate relief not only from my back pain but also from a lot of my chronic illnesses. I never realized how important a healthy spine and nervous system were to my overall health. I have been battling these issues for years and after only 3 weeks here my body is healing and I have never felt better mentally and physically. I feel less fatigued and have more energy.
I also had an issue my knee and after a couple of sessions with his skilled massage therapists that issue went away too. Dr. Nathans cares about your overall health and wellness and I would definitely recommend him. He and the staff are great! This experience has changed my life for the better. read less - 11/14/2018

Somehow what started as a knot in my mid-back became quite painful over many weeks. I tried all kinds of stretching, foam rollers, hot and cold pads and even my CrossFit athlete son-in-law’s heavy-duty muscle massager. Nothing would relieve the pain. I went at least four weeks with no more than two hours sleep at a time because I could not find a sleeping position without the pain. I couldn’t sleep with a pillow or on my side at all.
Finally, I contacted Dr. Nathans after I heard about him from several relatives. Dr. Nathans gave me a thorough consultation and started me with a combination of chiropractic and massage treatments. Within the first two visits I started to get relief and it continued to get better. After a month, the pain was gone. I now keep a reduced schedule of maintenance visits to keep my back flexible and make sure that pain never returns.
I have already recommended Dr Nathans and his team to several friends with back and neck issues. I’m so glad Dr. Nathans was there for me! read less - 11/12/2018

As a result of this accident I was left with sever lower back and neck pain, as well as stress and emotional trauma.
I was referred to Alan Nathans Family Chiropractic and have been in treatment since July 16th 2018. I'm feeling less pain, have better range of motion and my stress level and emotional well being is greatly improved.
Mere words can not convey the genuine caring, positive attitude and helpfulness I have received from Dr. Nathan and his staff.

As someone who is no stranger to chiropractic care, I can tell you there is defiantly a difference in the chiropractor. From the beginning, we mapped out a plan to better my neck and spine. I have seen chiropractors in the past, but usually (since adulthood) for a quick fix to help alleviate a migraine or bad headache, which I had regularly. This was the first time that there was a plan and I was willing to commit the time and energy it would take. That is because of the way Dr. Nathans treats his patients. Dr. Nathans is genuinely passionate about what he does and it shows.
My headaches have lessened drastically, to the point where I can’t remember when I had one. I realize that there isn’t a quick fix and I am so glad that I decided to make this commitment to my health.
I can’t recommend Dr. Nathans and his whole staff enough. Everyone is so wonderful and welcoming and nice. These days more and more, I just really like nice people! read less - 8/08/2018

They stayed late so we could get our first appointment in after work and have always been friendly and helpful. It has been about 2 months since our accident and we are feeling better than even before the accident. I also used to suffer from migraines but have not had one since receiving care. Dr. Nathans is genuine and does a great job making you feel comfortable, as I have never been adjusted before. Last but not least, the massage staff, Sandi and Jacob, have been amazing and have also played a big part in our recovery! I couldn't be happier with our care and would recommend Dr. Nathans' office to anyone! read less - 6/17/2018

Before being... read moreComing to Dr.Nathans has been one of the best decisions I have made in the last 2 years. Before being his patient, I really didn't have a good perception of what Chiropractic care really meant. Actually, I first approached Dr. Nathan's office because another parent had recommended that I took my son who has Cerebral Palsy to him. Soon after seeing his improvements, I realized that I also needed Chiro care as I had unbearable neck pain. Even though I started my mornings fairly ok, by 10 AM my neck hurt so much that I literally had to hold my head to relieve the pain. Now that's a thing of the past, and Chiropractic care to me is now as as essential as drinking water. After experiencing my own improvement I now bring my daughter who has Autism and my 84 year old aunt who had chronic neck pain and headaches. My body is always taking a beating as life is complicated for me; so being in his care is a must. As a bonus, Dr. Nathans and his great staff are caring and super kid friendly and great place if you have a child with special needs. Oh did I mention the amazing massage therapists at his office, you'll never go anywhere else for massages. read less - 6/13/2018

My life before was so uncomfortable, I would get pain when I sleep in certain ways and breath while sleeping. I just assumed I was going to have to deal with it.
Once I started a reliable care plan with the 100 years’ lifestyle, my back pain reduces significantly and my overall health has improved! I definitely recommend the 100 years’ lifestyle because of how they have relieved me!"
My life before it was not fun at all. before I used to have back pain. I remember that I could dance the zouk very well, and when the pain came I could not do anything about dancing in the same way and doing activities with my back, it was so hard for me that I started to avoid bending over. Sunday night I was dancing and I said let me play zouk, I danced so well, I could bend over and go all the way down, I was so happy that I was shouting "Vive” Dr. Alan Nathan - ha-ha. I know it's funny but it made me happy to see the result of their work. Now that I am with the 100 years’ lifestyle and I am delighted to be part of the family.
I recommend 100 years of life. Dr. Nathan is starting to change my health for the better. He is an incredible expert who loves the Lord and who actually concerns about you as a person not simply him but the team in general they are very friendly, and they take respectable care of you whether it is a family member or a new customer. I say thank you and continue to do a good job. read less - 5/09/2018

I came into this with some knowledge of chiropractic background, along with living a healthy lifestyle and overall wellbeing - so I knew what my goals were and what I wanted out of this. I did not expect my initial lab results to be so bad, especially for my age! I am 33 years old suffering from multiple autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and RA - which are the 2 main culprits which produce the most amount of chronic pain for me. Before coming here, I always felt cramped in my own body. Like I needed someone to pull me apart, stretch me out, and straighten me out! I have been to more doctors in the past 10 years than I can even remember. Been put on even more medications than that! After a couple weeks of Dr Nathans treatment, I can't tell you how much better I felt, almost instantly. My pain levels have gone down tremendously and my spasms in my back are almost nonexistent. I still have a ways to go, which is exciting for me, because to think this much progress has been made, and I still have a ways to go - well it's just incredible! I would recommend Dr. Nathans - for all the reasons above - but primarily, for one very important reason. When I first met him, it was for my baby girl's appointment. And he said something to me, that meant so much, in a world where medical doctors always seem to be so cold with their patients anymore. He said "Thank you for trusting me". And he was so sincere about it. I thought "wow. it means that much to him that he actually said that to me". Since then, Dr Nathans has always been respectful of my wishes, patient with my reservations, and always willing to educate me on the things I need done, in order to obtain those goals, that I set in the beginning. I have already referred him to many of my friends who may not quite be ready to make the leap, but I know in my heart, that I am right where I am supposed to be - and I will continue to spread the word on Dr Nathans amazing work, to everyone I know!
I would also like to say that everyone in the office is absolutely wonderful. They are always so kind and helpful and they always greet you with a warm smile and happy hello! read less - 4/09/2018

After experiencing numbness and tingling in my toes I went to my usual chiropractor, as I had a feeling it was nerve related.
After a few movements and unproductive treatments, I decided to go to Dr. Nathans because a friend had told me about his state-of-the arts testing and diagnosing. After reviewing my results he made his diagnostic conclusion and and what needed to be done. Immediately the tingling and numbness stopped.
Now, when I start to feel the symptoms I just go in for a quick adjustment and it's taken care.
I can't imagine if I hadn't found him. Such a simple fix and I wonder how many people are dealing with issues like that for their entire adult lives, not knowing that the answer doesn't lie in medicine and drugs, but in a simple chiropractic adjustment. read less - 1/18/2018

I have never been to a Chiropractor until prior to my surgery. I am now convience that this treatment works! I had headaches and back stiffness for many years. After my visit with Dr. Nathan, I have relief, and have recommended him to several of my friends. Dr. Nathan is a very caring Dr. that has a gift with his hands and touch. Before I have even told Dr. Nathan where any pain or stiffness is, he's already has determined the area of concern. Dr. Nathan's staff is very friendly and professional and keeps his office running smoothly. I love that when I walk in, I start the three rounds of exercise and when I am finished, he's ready to work on me, he's very efficent. I would highly recommend Dr. Nathan to my friends and family.

Before chiropractic care, I never knew when these crippling symptoms would sneak up. I spent many days lying in bed, unable to move, because the pain and dizziness were so debilitating. Since beginning chiropractic care, my migraines and dizzy spells are being managed and are under control. I have gone more than a year without an episode and feel like I can be more active and productive. After years and many doctors visits, which included “cures” ranging from over-the-counter symptom relievers to pharmaceutical drugs meant to treat epilepsy, I have finally found relief in chiropractic adjustments and healthy lifestyle choices.
I tell everyone – friends, family and even strangers – about the beauty of chiropractic care. In addition to the health benefits, Dr. Nathan’s and his staff are wonderful people dedicated to helping others live their best lives. read less - 6/23/2016

I have been a patient of Dr. Nathans since he first started in practice . I have been very happy with the treatments and care he has given me all these years. A few years ago it was determined that I have a genetic problem with my bones that required extensive surgery including fusion of five vertebrae. I thought this would keep me from having any more chiropractic treatments. As time went on ( five years), I started to have more pain. I went to Dr Nathans and he was able to adjust me with out causing any problems with the areas of surgery. SO YOU CAN STILL GET HELP AFTER SURGERY! It is wonderful to get relief even after surgery . As a side note my surgeon said, chiropractic treatments had kept me from surgery for a long time! Thanks Alan! Relief is great!! read less - 3/06/2016

My daughter had been living with back and neck pain, even though we had been seeking chiropractic care elsewhere. As a massage therapist, I wasn't even able to help her shoulders, neck or low back because the pain was simply too intense. Dr. Nathans was recommended to us from a close and dear friend, and finally today, my daughter is able to say she is pain free. Our whole family is on its way to better health and well being. Our bodies are meant to be well, but the lines of communication in our spines must stay open for that to happen.
