Stemwave Therapy

Stemwave and the doctor initally do a diagnostic "mapping' of the area to see if there is a substatial amount of inflammation causeing pain or dysfunction. This will be confirmed at your first visit.  After determining the cuase of your dysfuntion and/or pain, we can determine how to the treat the problem. Most patients experience a 5% - 15% improvment in range of mothion and/or pain redudcution just from the diagnosising process. This lends great confidence to the doctor and the patient that the specific treatment will be effective.

After diagnosising the problem the doctor can deveolp a treatment plan to guide you to improvment, first reducing the inflammation and therefore pain, stiffness and restricted range of motion and then to recreate the normal circulatuon that had been lost because of the inflammation and dysfunction. By increasing the circulation this allows the body to target this damaged area with healing components to speed the healing process, this allows for rehabilitation. Then additionally Stem Cells are recruited and called to this area to additonally help speed the healing process. This process takes time, but is very, very effective. Normal healing takes time and this treatment process speeds the healing process. if you think about it without this treatment, that area of the body would continue to increase inflammation, increase pain, the inflammation process would restrict range of motion which has been shown to increase the arthritic process, so it is a bit of a dwindling spiral. The fact that we can reverse this spiral and dig you out of this hole is really amazing.

If it is a tendonitis involving mucsles and tendodons it is about a 6-8 weeks cycle of rehab after reducing the inflammation which generally takes 4-6 weeks.

If your injury invovles more of ligament and cartalige tissue it is genereally 12-16 weeks of rehab following about 4-6 weeks of inflammation reduction.

Of course every case is differnt, patients heal slower as they age, some patients are under a great deal of stress wihich slows healing, some patients need more nutrients and possibly supplements to get the needed ingrediants into the area to allow for healing, some patients have system diseases like diabetes and such. All these factors can affect your bodies ability to heal. The ones we can address with you and improve we will. The most improtant item is this treatment is very, very effective, give it time with your doctor to do it's job and get you to a piont of stability.

Following acute and rehab treatment many patients with damage such as arthritis benefit from a maintanice program of care, this will be recommended following your acute and rehab care, but is generally a benefit to all patients over the age of 40.
