Acoustic waves that stimulate
musculoskeletal tissue repair.
Chronic musculoskeletal conditions can persist when the local tissue repair environment becomes dormant. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic pulses that have been shown in peer-reviewed research to stimulate vascular and cellular activity associated with tissue repair. (opens in new tab) The clinical evidence base for ESWT in conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathy, and calcific tendinitis is well established.
Assessment and Protocol Design
Dr. Silver identifies the specific tissue involved and the nature of the dysfunction, whether tendinopathy, fascial restriction, calcification, or chronic inflammation, and designs a treatment protocol that addresses the underlying biology rather than the area of pain alone. Tissue type, chronicity, and prior treatment history all inform how the protocol is structured.
Focused Acoustic Wave Treatment
The StemWave device delivers precise acoustic pulses to the affected tissue at specific depths and frequencies. Sessions are typically 10 to 20 minutes. Most patients experience a mild pressure sensation during treatment and return to normal activity immediately afterward.
Progressive Tissue Recovery
Over the days and weeks following treatment, the biological response that ESWT research has associated with tissue repair develops progressively. Results accumulate across a series of treatments, and Dr. Silver adjusts the protocol based on how the tissue is responding.

when other approaches have stalled.
Each pain management approach has its own clinical role. Acoustic wave therapy occupies a category of intervention that some patients find suits their situation when prior treatments have not produced the result they were looking for.
Questions about StemWave
and what to expect.
StemWave is an acoustic wave therapy device that delivers focused sound wave pulses to musculoskeletal tissue. The underlying technology, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), has been studied in peer-reviewed literature for conditions including plantar fasciitis, tendinopathy, and calcific tendinitis. Sessions are typically 10 to 20 minutes with no required recovery time. (opens in new tab)
The acoustic wave technology used in StemWave is FDA-listed. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy devices have received FDA 510(k) clearances for specific musculoskeletal indications including plantar fasciitis. Dr. Silver reviews whether StemWave is appropriate for your specific presentation at the initial consultation.
This depends on the condition, its chronicity, and how the tissue responds. Most protocols involve a series of sessions. Dr. Silver designs the protocol based on your specific presentation and tracks your response over the course of treatment.
Acoustic wave therapy has an established safety profile in the peer-reviewed literature for musculoskeletal applications. Most patients experience a mild pressure sensation during treatment. Contraindications include active infection, malignancy in the treatment area, coagulation disorders, and pregnancy. Dr. Silver screens for these at the initial consultation.
The $49 introductory session includes a full consultation with Dr. Silver, the first complete StemWave treatment session, and a personalized recovery and care plan.
