What is Stemwave?
Stemwave is a 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 dealing with musculoskeletal conditions related to pain and inflammation.
How Does it Work?
When the acoustic waves penetrate damaged tissues 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 stimulate dormant cels that are critical for healing - without the need for invasive procedures or medication.
Does Treatment Hurt?
When the acoustic waves penetrate healthy tissue you won't feel much of anything, just a light tapping sensation. However, when the waves hit damaged tissue, you will experience manageable discomfort that feels a little more like a rubber band snap. The discomfort is so minimal that no numbing creams or anesthetic is required.
How long is treatment?
A typical care plan is 8-12 visits. Most patients will see short-term improvement following the first visit. However, this is not a one and done treatment. Multiple sessions are required to promote the healing process and achieve lasting results.
