If you've been living with joint or soft tissue pain that just won't go away, you've probably tried a lot already: rest, ice, medication, maybe injections. StemWave is a newer option that more patients in North Central West Virginia are asking about, and it's now available at our Main Street location.
How StemWave Works
StemWave uses targeted acoustic waves, a form of sound wave energy, delivered through a handheld applicator to the area that hurts. The treatment is designed to help your body do what it already knows how to do: calm inflammation, improve circulation and kick off the natural repair process in damaged tissue.
It's non-invasive and drug-free. There are no needles, no incisions and no medication involved.
Who It Can Help
StemWave is most often used for chronic joint and soft tissue pain, including:
- Knee, hip and shoulder pain
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Tendonitis, including tennis and golfer's elbow
- Low back and neck pain
- Lingering sports injuries
It can be used on its own or alongside a physical therapy plan. Your therapist will help you decide whether it makes sense for your situation.
What a Session Feels Like
Treatments are quick, usually 5 to 10 minutes. Most people describe a tapping or pulsing feeling over the treated area. There's no downtime, so you can head right back to work or home afterward. Many patients notice a difference after the first session, and most benefit from a short series of visits.
Try It for $49
For a limited time, your first StemWave session at Bridgeport PT is just $49 (normally $150). Learn more about StemWave or claim the offer online.
