A Non-Invasive Option for Persistent Pain
At Restore Physical Therapy, we use advanced, non-invasive StemWave® therapy to help patients dealing with stubborn joint, tendon, and soft-tissue pain.

Quick form — takes about 10–15 seconds.

Still Dealing With Pain That Just Won’t Fully Go Away?
If you’ve been dealing with pain that keeps coming back—despite rest, medications, injections, or even physical therapy—you’re not alone.
Most people are told to:
Keep going to more sessions
Try another injection
“Give it more time”
But many patients simply want to know:
“Is there another option worth trying before surgery?”
That’s why we offer StemWave® therapy as one of the advanced treatment options at Restore Physical Therapy.
Why Some Patients Consider StemWave® Therapy
Non-invasive and drug-free
Short sessions (typically 10–20 minutes)
No downtime after treatment for most patients
Minimal physical effort during treatment
Designed to support the body’s natural healing response
Can be combined with physical therapy when appropriate
Especially appealing for busy individuals who want a focused option before injections or surgery.
How Stemwave® Fits With Physical Therapy
StemWave® is not a replacement for physical therapy.
It is one of the advanced tools our licensed physical therapists may use as part of a complete treatment plan to reduce pain and improve movement.
Some patients respond best to StemWave® therapy alone. Others benefit more from:
Physical therapy only
StemWave® plus targeted exercise
A combination approach
Our goal is not to push one treatment.
Our goal is to determine the safest and most effective option for your specific condition.
Conditions We Commonly Treat Using StemWave® Therapy
We often help patients in Rochester Hills dealing with:
Neck & Back Pain: Discs, muscles, nerves, and more
Joint Pain: Knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow, and more
Soft Tissue Injuries: Ligaments, muscles, and more
Treatment Alternative: Surgery, injections, medications, etc.
Especially when the pain has been lingering for months or keeps coming back despite previous treatment.
What Is StemWave® Therapy?
(Play the video and turn on the sound)
StemWave® therapy is an advanced, FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment used in clinics like Restore Physical Therapy in Rochester Hills to stimulate your body’s natural healing response.
It works by:
Increasing blood flow to irritated or damaged tissue
Supporting tissue repair and healing processes
Helping reduce pain and improve movement
There are:
No injections
No medications
No surgery
No formal downtime
Sessions are performed in our clinic and most patients return to normal activities afterward unless otherwise advised.
Many Patients Notice Improvement Quickly
Some patients notice:
Less pain
Improved movement
Reduced tightness
after their first StemWave® visit.
Others require 2–3 sessions before noticing meaningful changes, especially if the condition has been present for a long time.
And in some cases, StemWave® may not be the best approach for that individual condition.
That is why your first visit includes both an evaluation and treatment—to help determine whether this appears to be a reasonable option for you.
How It Works: A Simple 3-Step Process
A simple 3-step process to see how your body responds—before committing to treatment

Monitor Your Response
Some patients notice improvement quickly, while others require several sessions before meaningful changes occur.
Clear Recommendation
We’ll help you determine whether StemWave®, physical therapy, or another approach makes the most sense for your condition.
No pressure. Just honest guidance.
Quick form — takes about 10–15 seconds.
Includes a focused evaluation and first treatment for one problem area.
Real Patients. Real Results
Many of our StemWave® patients had already tried rest, medications, injections, or traditional treatment before exploring this option.
Quick form — takes about 10–15 seconds.
Includes a focused evaluation and first treatment for one problem area.
Skeptical? That’s Completely Normal.
Most of the patients we see were unsure at first—especially if they had already tried other treatments without lasting relief.
That’s why we start with a focused evaluation and first StemWave® treatment instead of asking patients to commit to a full plan immediately.
During your visit, we will:
Evaluate your condition
Apply treatment if appropriate
Answer your questions
Explain your options going forward
Some patients notice improvement after the first session, while others require a few visits before meaningful changes occur.
No pressure. Just honest guidance.

StemWave Therapy: Answers to Your Top Questions
Is StemWave covered by insurance?
No. StemWave® is an elective, cash-based treatment and is not billed to insurance. Your regular physical therapy visits may still be billed to insurance separately, with normal copays and deductibles.
Why would I choose this if it’s not covered by insurance?
Most patients who explore StemWave® have already tried rest, medications, injections, or traditional PT and are still dealing with persistent pain.
They want a non-invasive option to try before considering more injections or surgery, even if it means paying out of pocket.

How many sessions will I need if I continue?
It depends on the condition, how long it has been present, and how your body responds.
Some patients improve quickly; others need a more structured plan over several weeks.
If StemWave® appears appropriate for you, we’ll outline a clear plan so you can decide whether to move forward.
How is this different from regular physical therapy?
StemWave® is one tool we may use to help reduce pain and support tissue healing.
Traditional PT focuses more on:

Some patients do well with StemWave® alone; others get the best results by combining it with targeted physical therapy.
Will I still need physical therapy?
Possibly.
Some patients respond well to StemWave® alone. Others benefit more from a combination of StemWave® and PT exercises.
At your visit, we’ll explain which option we believe is safest and most effective for your specific condition so you can choose.
What conditions does stemwave help most with?
We commonly use StemWave® for:
✅ Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
✅ Achilles tendon pain
✅ Shoulder pain
✅ Knee pain
✅ Tennis and golfer’s elbow
✅ Hip pain
✅ Chronic tendon or soft-tissue problems
Especially when symptoms have lingered or keep coming back.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe StemWave® as a pulsing, tapping, or vibrating sensation.
Some areas feel more sensitive than others.
We can usually adjust intensity to your comfort level.
How long does the visit take?
Most visits last about 10–20 minutes after setup, depending on the area we’re treating and whether we’re also reviewing exercises or activity modifications.
