This advanced system delivers precisely targeted acoustic waves that stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, helping to:
- Reduce pain, often with noticeable improvement after just a few sessions
- Speed up recovery time, getting you back to activities you love faster
- Increase blood circulation to damaged tissues, enhancing natural healing

StemWave Modus F: High-Tech Healing for Lasting Results
At Active Physical Therapy, we utilize the cutting-edge Stemwave shockwave therapy, an advanced shockwave therapy device designed for superior results by focusing the beam and penetrating into the depth of any joint.. This powerful machine sets a new standard in pain relief and tissue regeneration, delivering highly effective treatment with precision and efficiency.
It’s different than another popular softwave shockwave unit in that softwave is not focused and broader area of coverage but not as deep penetrating. While softwave is still great it won’t penetrate as deep into joint issues like stemwave will. Stemwave utilizes a penetrating deep focused acoustic soundwave that attacks the inflammation and pain in the area treated.
What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy in Redding
Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how quick and manageable shockwave therapy sessions are. Your treatment will typically last just 3-8 minutes, depending on your specific condition.
During your session, your therapist will:
- Discuss your current pain level and assess the treatment area
- Apply a small amount of gel to ensure optimal wave transmission
- Use the shockwave therapy handpiece to deliver acoustic pulses to the painful area
- Adjust the intensity based on your comfort level
Most patients describe the sensation as a series of light tapping pulses. While you might feel mild discomfort in the treatment area, the therapy is designed to be tolerable and can be adjusted to your individual comfort threshold.
After treatment, you can immediately return to most of your normal activities, as there is no downtime or recovery period required.
