Back Pain That Controls Your Life Doesn't Have to Stay That Way.
It Goes Deeper
Than a Pulled Muscle.
Most chronic back pain has a structural or degenerative cause that rest, heat, and over-the-counter medication can temporarily dull but never actually address. Here are the most common causes Dr. Sandy sees at Key to Health.
Herniated or Bulging Discs
Lumbar Osteoarthritis
Sciatica
Scar Tissue from Old Injuries
Degenerative Disc Disease
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Temporary Relief Isn't the Same as Healing.
You’ve probably already tried one or more of the following. Here’s why it doesn’t work permanently:Â
Medication
Anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers reduce pain signals while active. The moment they wear off, the underlying damage is still there and the cycle starts over.
Cortisone Injections
Injections reduce inflammation quickly but temporarily. Most patients are limited to a few per year, and repeated use can accelerate disc and cartilage breakdown over time.
Physical Therapy
PT builds strength in the surrounding musculature and can improve function, but it doesn’t repair damaged discs, break down scar tissue, or address the root cause of nerve compression.
Surgery
Sometimes the right call, but it comes with significant recovery time, real risk, and no guarantee of lasting results. Many back surgery patients report only partial improvement or a return of symptoms within a few years.

The SoftWave Process at Key to Health
From your first conversation to your personalized SoftWave treatment plan, here’s how the process will unfold.
Initial Consultation
Dr. Sandy will sit down with you to talk through your pain, your history, and your goals. It’s a no-pressure conversation to make sure SoftWave is the right fit before anything else happens.
There’s no commitment required and no hard sell. Just an honest conversation about what you’ve been dealing with and whether SoftWave makes sense for you.
SoftWave Session
The SoftWave device is applied directly to the area of concern. You’ll feel a gentle pulsing sensation as the acoustic waves get to work on the damaged tissue underneath.
The treatment is non-invasive and comfortable, with no anesthesia and no preparation needed beforehand.
Most sessions take around 15 minutes from start to finish.
Ongoing Treatment Plan
Dr. Sandy will put together a plan tailored to your specific condition and the results she sees from your first session. Most patients see the best results over a series of sessions, and she’ll walk you through exactly what that looks like for you.
Every plan is different because every patient is different, and Dr. Sandy will make sure yours fits your life and your schedule.
