What is StemWave?
StemWave is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that sends focused acoustic waves into a sore area. It is used for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and a temporary increase in local circulation.
Does StemWave use stem cells?
No. StemWave is a brand name. It does not use stem cells, and nothing is injected.
How does StemWave work?
A hand-held applicator sends short pulses of focused energy into the sore area. The maker explains that the tissue responds to this stimulation, including more blood flow in that spot for a while afterward.
What is StemWave used for?
StemWave is used for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains. People ask about it for feet and heels, knees, shoulders, elbows and hands, hips and the low back.
Can StemWave help heel pain or plantar fasciitis?
StemWave is not a cure for any condition. Many people with heel pain come in to ask about it, and Dr. Gillett will tell you at your intro visit whether it is worth trying for you.
Does StemWave hurt?
StemWave is non-invasive and there are no needles. If anything feels uncomfortable during your session, tell Dr. Gillett and he will adjust it.
