No drugs. No surgery. Just your body, healing itself.

What is StemWave Therapy?

StemWave uses electrohydraulic acoustic wave technology to deliver focused energy to injured or painful areas of the body. This triggers a powerful biological cascade that activates your body’s own stem cells, reduces inflammation, and promotes genuine tissue regeneration — not just temporary symptom relief.

Unlike pain medications that mask the problem or surgeries that require long recovery periods, StemWave therapy addresses the root cause of your pain. The treatment is FDA-registered, completely non-invasive, and takes just 5–10 minutes per session. Many patients experience significant improvement within their first few treatments.

How It Works

Three steps to lasting, drug-free pain relief

1

Evaluation

Dr. Schmitt evaluates your condition, identifies the source of your pain, and determines if StemWave therapy is the right solution for you.

2

Treatment

Focused acoustic waves are applied to the affected area in quick 5–10 minute sessions. The energy activates your body's stem cells and natural healing response.

3

Healing & Recovery

Your body continues healing between sessions as new tissue regenerates, inflammation decreases, and pain diminishes — often with long-lasting results.

Why Choose StemWave

Non-Invasive

No incisions, no injections, no anesthesia. StemWave works entirely from outside the body using focused acoustic energy.

Drug-Free

Break free from the cycle of pain medications. StemWave provides relief by activating your body's own healing response.

Fast Sessions

Each treatment takes only 5–10 minutes. Get in, get treated, and get back to your life without disruption.

No Downtime

Return to your normal activities immediately after every session. No recovery period, no restrictions.

Long-Lasting Relief

StemWave promotes genuine tissue regeneration, delivering results that go beyond temporary symptom masking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about StemWave therapy

StemWave is an FDA-registered, non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic acoustic wave technology to stimulate your body's own stem cells and natural healing mechanisms. It promotes tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and provides lasting pain relief — all without surgery or medication.
StemWave delivers focused acoustic waves to injured or painful areas. These waves trigger a biological response that activates dormant stem cells, increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the growth of new tissue. Your body essentially heals itself using its own regenerative capabilities.
StemWave therapy is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including joint pain, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, knee pain, tennis and golfer's elbow, back pain, neuropathy, frozen shoulder, and many other chronic pain conditions.
Most patients benefit from 6 to 8 treatment sessions, though some experience significant relief in fewer visits. Dr. Schmitt will evaluate your condition during your free consultation and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment. You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation in the treated area. Some patients with acute inflammation may feel mild sensitivity, which typically subsides quickly as the area responds to treatment.
StemWave therapy has an excellent safety profile with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours. There is no downtime — you can return to your daily activities immediately after each session.
