StemWave®
The next big wave in medical technology
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 dealing with musculoskeletal conditions related to pain and inflammation.
How Does StemWave Work?
When the acoustic sound 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 kick starts 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).
Dr. Swaim will conduct an interactive consultation to discuss more about StemWave, your goals, and expectations regarding your specific case. He will start with a “mapping”, utilizing the device as a diagnostic tool over the injured area to identify the primary location(s) of pain. Once located, he will focus the remainder of the session towards that area to ensure maximization of the positive biological effects. Plan on about 30 minutes for the mapping.
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 & expectations, Dr. Swaim will put together a recommended care plan that best suits your needs. Health Insurance does not normally cover shockwave therapies and we, as a company, do not bill health insurances. However, auto accident insurances may cover and we do bill medical-pay on auto accidents.
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 will offer continual improvement and sustained results. Plan on 10-20 minutes for these visits.
Video Testimonials.
Sure, we really stand by the amazing benefits of StemWave, but don’t just take our word for it.
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 the intensity that requires numbing cream or anesthetic.
