Advanced, Non-Invasive Therapy at Arise Physical Therapy

At Arise Physical Therapy, Rehab & Wellness, we combine personalized physical therapy with modern treatment technology to help our patients move more comfortably and confidently.

StemWave® uses focused acoustic energy to create controlled mechanical stimulation within targeted tissues. This type of mechanical stimulation is associated with a process known as mechanotransduction, in which cells respond to physical forces through biological signaling. The manufacturer describes the technology as supporting local circulation and the body’s natural recovery response.

Every StemWave® session at Arise begins with professional evaluation. Your physical therapist will determine whether the technology is appropriate for you and how it may best complement your overall rehabilitation program.

1. What is StemWave®?

StemWave® is a non-invasive acoustic wave therapy system powered by PACE® technology.

The system delivers controlled focused acoustic waves into a targeted treatment area without relying on thermal energy. StemWave states that its technology can deliver energy to both superficial and deeper anatomical structures, with reported penetration depths of up to approximately 12 cm.

2. How StemWave® Works

You could show this as 3 boxes on the website.

1. Focused Energy Delivery

Your therapist identifies the treatment area and applies controlled acoustic energy using the StemWave® applicator.

2. Mechanical Stimulation

The acoustic waves create mechanical stimulation in the targeted tissues, initiating cellular responses through mechanotransduction.

3. Recovery Support

The resulting physiological response may support local circulation and the body’s natural recovery processes.

Why We Added StemWave® to Our Clinic

Keep this section conservative and professional:

Non-Invasive
Treatment does not involve needles or surgery.

Focused Treatment
Your therapist can direct acoustic energy to specific areas based on your examination.

Fast Sessions
Treatment can be incorporated efficiently into a physical therapy visit.

Works Alongside Rehabilitation
StemWave® can complement therapeutic exercise, mobility work and hands-on physical therapy.

Personalized Application
Treatment settings and areas are selected according to your individual evaluation and therapy goals.

4. Areas that may be evaluated

Instead of claiming it “treats 150 conditions,” I recommend wording it this way:

Where May StemWave® Be Used?

Following a physical therapy evaluation, StemWave® may be considered for minor muscle or joint aches and discomfort involving areas such as:

• Knee
• Shoulder
• Back
• Neck
• Hip
• Elbow
• Foot and ankle
• Muscles and surrounding soft tissues
• Areas of post-activity soreness or joint stiffness

The manufacturer’s patient information lists many of these body regions as common treatment areas.

This wording is much safer than advertising that the machine “cures arthritis,” “heals torn ligaments,” or “regenerates tissue.”

Your StemWave® Session at Arise

Step 1 — Physical Therapy Evaluation

Your therapist evaluates your symptoms, movement, strength and functional limitations.

Step 2 — Identify the Treatment Area

The area of discomfort is assessed and an appropriate treatment approach is selected.

Step 3 — Focused Acoustic Wave Application

The StemWave® applicator delivers controlled acoustic energy to the selected area.

Step 4 — Integrate With Your Therapy Plan

When appropriate, treatment is combined with exercise, mobility training, manual therapy and patient education to address your overall rehabilitation goals.
