A non-invasive treatment that uses harmless acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response.

Helps activate dormant stem cells, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.

Used worldwide by clinics and trusted for joint, tendon, muscle, and soft tissue pain.

StemWave therapy is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, whether caused by acute injuries or chronic pain. It’s commonly used to treat:

✅ Joint pain (knees, hips, shoulders, elbows)
✅ Tendonitis and tendinopathy
✅ Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
✅ Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries
✅ Bursitis, golfer’s elbow, and tennis elbow
✅ Chronic inflammation or pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments

Because StemWave promotes natural tissue regeneration and pain relief without surgery, it’s a powerful, non-invasive option for people seeking long-term results without medications or injections.

Yes, StemWave therapy is a safe, FDA-recognized, non-invasive treatment for chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and joint conditions. It is classified as a “non-significant risk device” by the FDA, meaning it can be safely used on most areas of the body with minimal risk of side effects.

StemWave is drug-free, requires no injections or surgery, and is well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. However, StemWave should not be used over the following areas:

❌ Pacemakers

❌ Fetal tissue (pregnancy)

❌ Active cancer or tumors

❌ Growth plates in teenagers

If you’re unsure whether you’re a good candidate, our team at Restore Physical Therapy in Rochester Hills will perform a personalized assessment to determine if StemWave therapy is right for your condition and goals.

StemWave therapy offers a wide range of benefits for individuals dealing with chronic pain, joint issues, and soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive treatment provides:

✅ Drug-free pain relief without the need for surgery or injections

✅ Increased blood circulation to support tissue repair

✅ Reduced inflammation in muscles, tendons, and joints

✅ Improved mobility and range of motion

✅ Accelerated healing by activating your body’s natural stem cells

Many patients begin to feel immediate pain relief after their first StemWave therapy session, especially when treating conditions like joint pain, tendonitis, or plantar fasciitis. However, StemWave is not a one-and-done solution—it works best as a progressive treatment plan designed for long-term healing.

Most patients experience significant improvements within the first few sessions, with full results typically achieved after 6 to 10 treatments, depending on the condition's severity and how long it has been present.

StemWave therapy is generally well-tolerated and non-invasive, but you may feel some discomfort when the treatment passes over damaged or inflamed tissue. This sensation is normal and actually helps identify the exact areas that need healing.

When applied over healthy tissue, StemWave feels like a light tapping or pulsing. When it targets areas of injury or degeneration—such as tendonitis, arthritis, or scar tissue—you may feel mild to moderate discomfort. However, the discomfort is brief, manageable, and does not require any numbing creams or anesthesia.

StemWave therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that is generally very well-tolerated by most patients. Side effects are rare and minimal. Some individuals may experience:

✅ Mild soreness
✅ Temporary redness or tenderness in the treated area

These effects are short-lived and usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours. There is no downtime or need for recovery, making StemWave an ideal option for those seeking safe, natural pain relief without the risks of medication or surgery.

Each StemWave therapy session typically lasts 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the severity of your condition. Smaller areas like the elbow or foot may take less time, while larger joints such as the shoulder, hip, or lower back may require a full 20-minute session.

At this time, StemWave therapy is not covered by insurance, as it is considered a newer regenerative medicine treatment. Most insurance providers have not yet included non-invasive acoustic wave therapy under their reimbursement guidelines.

However, many patients choose StemWave because it offers an affordable, effective alternative to pain medications, cortisone injections, and surgery—with fewer risks and no downtime. We offer flexible payment options and low-cost introductory sessions to help you experience the benefits firsthand.
