With active lifestyles, many injuries or chronic pain can become a part of our daily lives. From knee, ankle & foot pain or injuries to back, neck & shoulder, these unfortunately common pain points can prevent us from doing what we love. If you suffer from one of these issues, then the StemWave™ therapy may be right for you!
What is StemWave™?

These sound waves kickstarts the body's healing process & creates more blood circulation & stem cell activity that helps regenerate damaged tissue. This treatment is great for eliminating pain, restoring muscle mobility & much more.

Side Effects
There are mild side effects associated with this treatment, but patients may experience swelling, pain, numbness or tingling or mild bruising. Overall, the side effects are mild compared to those associated with surgery.
