StemWave Therapy for Chronic Joint Pain
If you’re dealing with chronic knee pain, shoulder pain, tendonitis, arthritis, or lingering joint discomfort that hasn’t fully responded to rest, stretching, injections, or medications, StemWave therapy may be the treatment you’ve been looking for.
A non-invasive regenerative treatment using acoustic wave technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing response — improving circulation, supporting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and relieving chronic pain without surgery or downtime.
Many Patients Seek StemWave Therapy For:
✓Chronic knee pain
✓Shoulder pain & rotator cuff irritation
✓Minor tendon tears
✓Tendonitis & overuse injuries
✓Joint pain and stiffness

How StemWave® Works
StemWave delivers focused acoustic waves into injured or inflamed tissue. These waves stimulate blood flow and cellular activity, helping recruit stem cells to support healing in areas that may not be healing on their own — activating the body’s natural repair process and improving function over time.
Because StemWave is non-surgical and drug-free, it’s become a popular option for people looking for a natural approach to chronic joint pain relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is StemWave painful?
No, it is not painful. Most people find StemWave very tolerable. You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation over the treatment area, and more irritated or inflamed spots can feel a bit more sensitive. Intensity can be adjusted throughout the session to keep you comfortable.
How long does a session take?
A typical session is quick — usually about 10–20 minutes depending on the size and number of areas treated. It’s easy to fit into a lunch break or a busy schedule.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies from person to person. Some patients notice improvement within a few visits, while others with longer-standing or more complex conditions may need a series of treatments. Dr. Barrick will tailor a plan based on your specific condition and how your body responds.
Is there downtime after treatment?
No downtime is needed. Most patients go right back to work, exercise, or daily activities after their appointment.
Does insurance cover StemWave therapy?
StemWave therapy is not covered by insurance and is considered an out-of-pocket service. We work with patients to make treatment as accessible as possible — flexible payment options may be available, and our team is happy to discuss what works best for your situation before starting care.
What Happens During Your Trial Visit?
During your trial visit, Dr. Barrick will begin with a full evaluation and take time to learn more about your history and the pain you’re currently experiencing. He’ll then introduce you to StemWave technology and explain how the treatment works. After that, you’ll receive your first StemWave session during the same visit so you can experience it firsthand. Once your initial treatment is complete, Dr. Barrick will review your response and put together a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. The entire first visit typically lasts about 30–45 minutes.
How Much Does StemWave Therapy Cost?
Because every patient and condition is different, treatment plans are fully customized. Cost depends on the area being treated, the severity of symptoms, and the number of sessions recommended. After your evaluation, Dr. Barrick will review a personalized plan with you so everything is clear before starting care.
