What is StemWave?
Without getting too technical, StemWave is an FDA-listed medical device that utilizes harmless, yet powerful acoustic waves to activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This non-invasive treatment option was designed to help patients with musculoskeletal conditions characterized by pain and inflammation.
How Does StemWave Work?
When these waves penetrate damaged tissue or areas of inflammation, it activates a
natural response within the body as if a new injury has occurred. This immediately
kickstarts the biological healing process by sending healing agents to help reduce
inflammation and repair damaged tissue in the injured area. Ultimately, the goal of this
treatment is to “awaken” dormant cells that are critical for healing – without the need
for invasive procedures or medication.

What to Expect
The First Visit (Consultation & Treatment)
Our doctor will conduct an interactive consultation to discuss more about StemWave,
your goals, and expectations regarding your specific case. At the start of the treatment,
we utilize the device as a diagnostic tool over the injured area to identify the primary
location(s) of pain. Once located, we focus the remainder of the treatment towards that
area to ensure we maximize the positive biological effects. The treatment itself can be
conducted in less than 10 minutes.
Subsequent Treatments (Care Plans)
Although some patients feel immediate improvement after their first visit, this is not a
“one and done” treatment solution. Subsequent treatments are required to further the
process of healing and achieve lasting results. Based on your specific goals &Based on the
expectations provided, our doctor will put together a recommended care plan that best
suits your needs.
Care plans commonly range between 8-12 sessions. Patients typically experience
significant progress after 3-4 treatments, however, we often see a noticeable
improvement after the first treatment. Subsequent treatments that follow will offer
continual improvement and sustained results.
Does Treatment Hurt?
When we are trying to identify damaged tissue or inflammation, we will move the
treatment source around the injured area. When the waves from the treatment source
penetrate healthy tissue, you won’t feel much of anything. However, when the waves hit
damaged tissue, you will experience manageable pain or discomfort – but not of an
intensity that requires numbing cream or an anesthetic.
