Shockwave Therapy Technology

StemWave acoustic shockwave therapy helps to pinpoint and treat areas of inflammation and injury by stimulating circulation, bringing in oxygen and other healing cells which accelerates the process of repair and recovery .

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. These waves increase blood flow, break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and activate your body’s natural repair mechanisms. It is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for chronic joint, tendon, ligament, and muscle pain, and it works without downtime.

At Kingwood Chiropractic Spine & Injury Center, we offer advanced Shockwave Therapy (ESWT / StemWave) to help patients recover from stubborn injuries, chronic pain, and tendon damage without drugs, injections, or surgery. This breakthrough technology helps patients from Kingwood, Humble, Atascocita, Porter, New Caney, and North Houston get back to normal life faster than traditional treatments alone.

If you’ve been dealing with pain that hasn’t responded to stretching, chiropractic care, physical therapy, or medication, shockwave therapy may finally give you the relief you’ve been searching for.

What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Visit

Step 1 - Injury/Condition Evaluation

Dr. Hamel evaluates your injury, mobility, muscle balance, and movement patterns to pinpoint the true cause of your pain.

Step 2 - Customized Shockwave Treatment

The shockwave device is applied to the injured area to break up damaged tissue, stimulate blood flow, and activate healing.

Step 3 - Supportive Therapies

Depending on your condition, you may also receive chiropractic adjustments, cold laser therapy, corrective exercises, and muscle release therapy.

This combination speeds recovery and leads to long-lasting results.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Most patients need 3-6 sessions spread over a few weeks, depending on the severity and how long the injury has been present. Longstanding or severe cases may need additional treatments, but relief typically begins early in the process.

**During your first visit Dr. Hamel will evaluate your area of concern with the device to help identify areas of inflammation that are contributing to your condition or injury. The patient will feel some discomfort during this evaluation and analysis because the shockwaves are going right over the top of the injured area; this is NORMAL and Dr. Hamel is looking for this as part of his evaluation. Based on the results of this first treatment, Dr. Hamel will let you know if you are a good candidate for shockwave therapy; often times the patient will see a change in pain and range of motion after the first visit, anywhere from 5-20% If the patient does not see positive change after the first evaluation and treatment, or if Dr. Hamel believes he cannot help a certain condition he will do his best to refer the patient to another doctor.
