Softwave Therapy

For Tissue Repair and Accelerated Healing

If you’re still struggling with chronic pain – even after trying treatments like chiropractic care, injections, or physical therapy – there’s a breakthrough option you need to know about.

Imagine a therapy that stimulates deep healing in your body using sound – not drugs, not surgery.

Welcome to SoftWave Therapy – the newest component of our Back Restore Healing System™ at Relief Source Non-Surgical Disc Centers.

A Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Solution That Targets the Root of Your Pain

SoftWave is an advanced, FDA-cleared technology that uses acoustic sound waves to reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and activate your body’s natural healing response.

If you’ve been told surgery is your only option – or if you’ve “tried everything” and still aren’t better – SoftWave may be the missing piece.

How Does SoftWave Therapy Work?

SoftWave delivers acoustic pulses that penetrate deep into the body’s tissues. These sound waves stimulate biological changes that trigger the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.

Unlike painkillers or injections that just mask symptoms, SoftWave works at the source – helping your body heal naturally from the inside out.

What SoftWave Therapy Does:

  • Reduces Inflammation & Swelling – Relieves pain by calming inflammation and decreasing pressure on nerves
  • Activates Regererative Cells – Promotes tissue regeneration at the cellular level
  • Increases Blood Flow – Enhances circulation and accelerates healing in damaged areas
  • Breaks Up Scar Tissue – Improves mobility and restores normal function
  • Provides Long-Lasting Relief – Treats the root cause of your pain—not just the symptoms

This treatment is completely non-invasive, requires no downtime, and can start delivering results in just one or two sessions.

Stop struggling. Let’s get you on the path to real healing.

Dr Stephen is the nicest person I have met. He truly represents personal patient care. He has spent significant time explaining our problems and planned a treatment accordingly. I came to DR Stephen with 3 bulging discs involving unbearable back pain. I was unable to do my regular chores and had discomfort sitting and lying down, walking and standing would cause leg pain. After me starting the treatment with Dr Stephen in only 6 visits I am able to go back to the gym, walking freely sit and do my work. I am so lucky to find Dr Stephen Lembo and I wish him all the success. Please call Dr Stephen if you have been suffering with Back or neck pain, he will get u up and fine in no time. Don’t rush in for a surgery visit Dr Stephen before. Thank you Dr Stephen.

Wishing you continued strength, health, and happiness. Thank you again for sharing your experience and encouraging others to seek care before considering more invasive options!

I walked into his office three months ago and I was not able to stand straight because of the back pain. Not only am I walking straight my back pain went from a 10 to A 3. if you have never had soft wave therapy you have no idea what you're missing out.
See DR Lembo and get your life back.
Response from the owner:We love hearing this! Thanks for the 5 stars and the support!

Dr. Lembo is unlike any chiropractor I’ve ever been to. (I've seen 5 different chiropractors over 31 years for herniated discs in my neck) Instead of quick fixes, he uses the DRX-9000 spinal decompression and SoftWave therapy, and the results are incredible. After just two months, I have zero pain, better range of motion, and no migraines. Truly life-changing!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve experienced such meaningful relief. It’s our mission to help every patient feel better and live with less pain. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Lembo is excellent! I came in with a bulging disc causing lumbar pain and sciatica down my left leg and around my 10th visit, I’m almost pain free. He took the time to explain my situation clearly and exactly what treatments he would be doing throughout the process. He really knows his stuff and genuinely cares. Highly recommended!!!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! It's incredibly rewarding to know our non-surgical protocol is helping people feel better and regain their quality of life.
Eileen Grobeck
Dr. Lembo is not your typical doctor, and I mean that in the best way possible. He has a wonderful "bedside" manner, listens to what you tell him about your pain issues and is kind, knowledgeable and patient. It's easy to see that he really cares about your wellbeing. He takes the time to explain the various machines he uses and also how they help heal you. I began seeing Dr. Lembo for severe sciatica caused by a bulging disc at L5/L4 in late April and am still undergoing decompression and laser treatments but I am definitely feeling a big difference. I no longer need a cane to walk and my pain levels are much, much lower. If you want/need a surgery free option to regaining spinal health look no further.
Response from the owner:Wow — thank you for such a thoughtful review! It means so much to us that you took the time to share your experience.
William Fuhrmann
Dr. Lembo does an excellent job of explaining the procedures and their purpose. The non-surgical procedures are just that and completely different than any other chiropractic service I have tried. The main device is comfortable and allows for a gradual painless adjustment rather than an abrupt jolt as in most other manual procedures.
I am very pleased with the results and highly recommend Relief Source Chiropractic, PC.

Prior to finding Dr. Steve Lembo and Relief Source, I was suffering with several years of chronic low back pain. Over the years I tried physical therapy and chiropractic but the problem did not improve. Dr. Lembo’s program combining non-surgical spinal decompression with Soft Wave therapy and warm laser has really made a difference. The pain is gone and I’m back to doing everything without limits. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr.Steve Lembo and Relief Source Chiropractic!
Response from the owner:We appreciate your amazing review! Providing advanced treatment technology for non-surgical relief is our passion 🙂

I highly recommend Dr. Lembo for anyone suffering with back pain, as I have for many years now. Over the years my pain got progressively worse to the point I could no longer do many of the things I enjoy doing.
Using a combination of the DRX9000 decompression machine and soft wave therapy Dr. Lembo made a real difference in my recovery and I find I have less pain and a greater tolerance for activities I enjoy.
Dr. Lembo is different than other chiropractors I've seen who prescribed a lifetime of never ending visits. Instead, he reviewed my recent MRI report and designed a 12-week program of treatment that was designed for my specific condition and led to noticeable results. At the conclusion he never tried to pressure me into unnecessary additional visits and not only was his treatment plan effective but he is also an incredibly kind and genuine person who I would consider a friend now.
If you're in pain, even if you've tried injections and other treatments that failed to help, you definitely need to give Dr. Lembo a visit.
Response from the owner:We appreciate your thoughtful review more than words can say! Caring for people and truly connecting with them is what drives everything we do. We're honored and grateful to be part of your story.

Dr. Steve Lembo is truly exceptional when it comes to spinal decompression therapy and scoliosis care. His approach is both professional and compassionate, creating a comfortable environment from the very first visit. The decompression therapy sessions provided noticeable relief, improving mobility and reducing pain. Dr. Lembo’s deep understanding of scoliosis and tailored treatment plan made a significant difference in posture and alignment. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and listens to your concerns. His dedication to his patients’ well-being is evident, and I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made under his care. Highly recommended for spinal health!
Response from the owner:We truly appreciate your 5-star feedback. Every kind word motivates us to keep giving our best to everyone we serve!

Dr Lembo, is terrific and the office is non traditional. No desk no waiting just one on one with the doctor. Definitely not what you think of when you think of other chiropractic offices
Had researched decompression because I wanted to be proactive with my back so I’m not in pain as I get older
I’m 64 and an avid golfer, the treatments are great, I find it relaxing and recommend it highly
Dr Lembo is super nice and easy to talk to.
All in all a great experience!
