StemWave Treatment

What is StemWave?

Marin Chiropractor

Without getting too technical, Stem Wave 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 It 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 the inflammation & repair damaged tissue. The goal is to "awaken" dormant cells That are critical for healing the body.

Does Treatment Hurt?

When the waves from the treatment Sources 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 intensity that requires numbing cream or anesthetic.

Inside StemWave Technology

Our Area Directed Technology leverages a focused electro-hydraulic system to produce true acoustic waves with every pulse. This type of acoustic wave generation presents numerous advantages when it comes to performing treatments.

Enhanced Treatment Zone

Area Directed Technology combines our electro-hydraulic system with an ellipsoidal reflector. The deflection of energy from this unique design enhances the width and depth of the treatment zone.

What to Expect

1Consultation and Treatment

Our doctor will conduct an interactive consultation to discuss more about Stem Wave, 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 the area to ensure we maximize the positive biological effects. The treatment itself can be conducted in less than 10 minutes.
