SoftWave Therapy in Memphis, TN
Chiropractic Memphis Downtown is the first and only chiropractic office in the Memphis area to offer SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy. This FDA-cleared technology uses acoustic waves to activate your body's own stem cells, reduce inflammation, and regenerate damaged tissue — without surgery, needles, or downtime.
Dr. Matt Hayden brought SoftWave to Memphis because he saw what it could do for patients who had tried everything else. If you're dealing with chronic pain, joint degeneration, or an injury that won't heal, this may be the breakthrough you've been looking for.
What Is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave TRT uses unfocused acoustic wave technology delivered through the FDA-cleared OrthoGold 100 device. When applied to damaged tissue, these waves trigger three powerful biological responses:
​
-
Stem cell activation — your body's own regenerative cells migrate to the treatment area and begin repairing damaged tissue
-
Inflammation reduction — chronic inflammatory markers decrease, relieving pain at its biochemical source
-
Blood flow restoration — new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissue that's been starved of proper circulation
The result is genuine tissue regeneration — not just symptom management.
Why Memphis Trusts Dr. Hayden for SoftWave
Dr. Hayden was personally trained on SoftWave protocols and was the first chiropractor in the Memphis market to adopt the technology. It's the same regenerative therapy trusted by the Memphis Grizzlies and professional athletes across the country — now available to everyday families in downtown Memphis.
If you've been searching for it, you've found the right place.

How a SoftWave Session Works
Each session takes approximately 10–15 minutes. Dr. Hayden applies the OrthoGold 100 device directly to the treatment area. You may feel a mild pulsing sensation — most patients describe it as comfortable. There's no anesthesia, no recovery time, and you can return to normal activity within 24 hours.
Most treatment plans involve 6–12 sessions depending on the condition. Many patients feel noticeable improvement after their very first session. Depending on what’s causing your pain, Dr. Hayden may also pair SoftWave Therapy with chiropractic adjustments to improve alignment, reduce nerve interference, and support whole-body healing.
$59 SoftWave Discovery Day
Not sure if SoftWave is right for you? Start with a Discovery Day — a 20–25 minute introductory session where Dr. Hayden assesses your condition, identifies damaged tissue, and demonstrates what SoftWave can do. It's just $59, and most patients feel a difference before they leave.
SoftWave vs. Surgery
For many conditions, SoftWave offers a legitimate alternative to surgical intervention — at a fraction of the cost, with zero recovery time, and without the risks of anesthesia or post-surgical complications.
It's not the right fit for every case, but for patients who want to exhaust non-invasive options before going under the knife, SoftWave is the most advanced tool available.
