Shockwave by StemWave: Non-Surgical Treatment for Rapid Pain Relief

The back, shoulders, hips, knees, and feet can all be slow to heal, leading to chronic pain. We are excited to offer an innovative, affordable new treatment option for patients at Moon Rehab and Wellness: Shockwave non-invasive regenerative healing by Stemwave.

What Is Shockwave?
Relieving Aches & Pains with Powerful Acoustic Waves
Shockwave is a regenerative medicine technique that utilizes harmless-yet-powerful focused (not radial) acoustic waves to activate your body’s natural healing mechanisms. This new technology increases blood flow and reduces inflammation, providing relief to patients with musculoskeletal conditions such as joint pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and arthritis. As a safe, FDA-listed, non-invasive option, it doesn’t require any downtime and has minimal to no side-effects.
Common Treatment Areas
Shockwave’s versatility makes it a great option for a wide variety of patients and conditions. It is an effective alternative to surgery, injections, or medications, which makes it an attractive first-choice treatment for pain.
Shockwave is highly effective for:
Neck & Back Conditions
Joint Pain (Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Hip, Knee, Ankle, Foot)
Soft Tissue Injuries (Muscles, Tendons, Ligaments)
Some common conditions that we treat with shockwave include golfer’s and tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, IT band syndrome and “bone on bone” knee arthritis.
What Are the Benefits of Shockwave Technology?
Shockwave offers patients results without surgery, injections, medication, or major side effects. Treatments take less than 10 minutes and are offered at an affordable price.

What to Expect
Treatments vary by scope of injury, but each visit typically lasts around 10-15 minutes. For the treatment, a gel is applied to the surface of the area and then the shockwave applicator is used to deliver focused waves to the injury. This treatment is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia or even numbing creams.
Patients typically experience significant improvement after 3-4 treatments; however, we often see a noticeable improvement after the first treatment. Subsequent treatments offer continual improvement and sustained results. Shockwave care plans usually range between 8-12 sessions. A typical care plan is 2 treatments per week for 2 weeks followed by 1 treatment per week for 4 weeks.
Our team will work with you to come up with a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs.
