Unlike traditional passive therapies, StemWave® Shockwave Therapy uses focused acoustic energy to support the body’s natural healing and recovery processes. This non-invasive technology delivers precise mechanical pulses into targeted areas to help stimulate circulation, cellular activity, and tissue repair.
StemWave is widely used in sports medicine, physical medicine, and performance-based wellness settings around the world.
StemWave uses high-energy acoustic waves that travel through soft tissue to create a biological response in the body. These acoustic waves help stimulate metabolic activity, enhance blood flow, and support the body’s natural regenerative processes. The acoustic waves trigger a cellular healing response known as mechanotransduction — signaling the body to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair.
Sessions are fast, non-invasive, and require no injections, no anesthesia, and no downtime.
StemWave is an excellent complement to other KryoVitality services such as whole-body cryotherapy, red light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
During a session, a handheld applicator is applied to the targeted area. You’ll feel a series of rhythmic tapping or pulsing sensations as the acoustic waves are delivered.
Most sessions last 5–10 minutes, depending on the area being addressed. Many people describe the experience as uncomfortable but tolerable, with intensity adjusted to individual comfort levels.
StemWave is commonly used to support recovery in areas such as:
Your provider will determine whether StemWave is appropriate for your specific needs during your consultation.
The number of sessions varies depending on individual goals, the area being treated, and response to therapy. Many people notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others benefit from a short series over several weeks.
StemWave protocols are often customized and may be combined with other recovery modalities for optimal results.
At Hassel Family Chiropractic, we focus on technology-driven, non-invasive solutions that support the body’s ability to heal, recover, and perform — without drugs or surgery.
