Not Every Body Needs This.
The Right Body Does.

Who This Is For

This treatment is well suited for people dealing with joint, tendon, muscle, or nerve related limitations where tissue quality and circulation are affecting progress.

Common Focus Areas

  • Neck and Back

  • Upper Extremities

  • Lower Extremities

  • Soft Tissue

  • Neuropathy

Areas are selected based on how your body responds and what supports progress.

Movement Reinforced

StemWave supports tissue change.
That change is then reinforced through chiropractic care and targeted exercise so progress carries into real movement, not just the treatment table.

Session timing and frequency are guided by the area treated and how your body responds over time.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Shockwave therapy — also called StemWave therapy — uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged or chronically painful tissue. At Peak Performance Chiropractic Center in Burnsville, MN, we use StemWave, a radial acoustic wave device that delivers energy pulses into the treated area. This increases blood flow, breaks up calcifications, and activates stem cell recruitment so the body can repair tissue that has stalled. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and used alongside chiropractic care and targeted rehab for lasting results.

  • StemWave works especially well for chronic tendon, muscle, and joint problems that have not responded to rest or other conservative care. Common conditions we treat at Peak Performance Chiropractic Center include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, tennis elbow, hip flexor tightness, and chronic low back pain. It also helps calcific tendinitis and soft tissue injuries with scar tissue. If you have been told your pain is from wear and tear, StemWave may still be a strong option.

  • Most patients at Peak Performance Chiropractic Center start with 10 sessions as a baseline. The total depends on the condition, how long it has been present, and how your body responds. Sessions are typically 5 to 10 minutes each and are performed alongside your chiropractic or rehab work. Chronic or complex cases may need additional sessions. We reassess regularly so your plan stays matched to your actual progress.

  • Most patients feel a mild pulsing or pressure sensation — some describe it as a deep tapping feeling over the target area. It is generally well-tolerated with no downtime. Occasionally the treated area may feel temporarily tender for a day or two, which is a normal healing response. Sessions are 5 to 10 minutes and done in the office at Peak Performance Chiropractic Center in Burnsville, MN. Most patients notice improvement within the first several sessions, with continued progress as tissue heals.
