What is StemWave therapy?

StemWave is part of a broader category of treatments known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy. This advanced technology uses sound waves to treat pain and inflammation. A noninvasive treatment, StemWave is nevertheless able to penetrate deep into tissues that other techniques and tools cannot reach. It both decreases pain and heals damage, and its results last.

We apply StemWave therapy with a handheld device that generates these sound waves. The process is quick — usually around 10 to 15 minutes — and requires just a few sessions to bring lasting relief.

Why choose StemWave?

There are certain types of pain and injury that do not respond to conventional chiropractic treatment. StemWave therapy offers an option to heal and become pain-free without undergoing surgery, taking medication, or getting injections. It also helps you avoid the side effects that those treatments may cause.

How does it work?

StemWave therapy works by stimulating your cells to begin healing naturally using acoustic sound waves. When we hold the device to the place on your body where you experience pain, the waves travel into your tissues. They penetrate more precisely and at a deeper level than some other similar therapies.

The sound waves cause microscopic damage — which sounds like the opposite of what you want — but this damage gets your cells working again to repair your injury. This therapy also reduces inflammation and can break down scar tissue. The boost in circulation aids recovery. Rather than masking pain, StemWave stimulates real healing so you can recover from the injury and regain mobility and flexibility.

What to expect

We’ll start by letting you get into a comfortable position — either sitting or lying down, depending on the treatment site. For most patients, StemWave treatment is painless. Some will experience mild discomfort during the process, but no anesthetic or numbing cream is needed.

We will apply a special gel to the targeted area and then place the StemWave device on it. The treatment usually lasts 10 minutes or less. The device can be loud, but most people only feel vibrations or a sensation of tapping. You might even feel a pleasant warmth.

After your session

There is no recovery time. You can immediately return to work or leisure activities, possibly feeling considerably better than when you arrived.

Some people begin to experience relief after a single session. Most patients start feeling much better after three or four sessions. Treatment typically unfolds over several weeks with multiple sessions, and we will evaluate your progress and adjust accordingly. The results are long-term because StemWave stimulates real healing, not just symptom masking.
