Here is the full recommendation from our very own Dawn:

"STEMWAVE TRY IT NOW!!!! I have been going to Dr Lester for a while, and now he is helping me with my hip replacement! They now have a Stemwave machine to help chronic pain and just pain period!! I started the Stemwave and WOW the results I have had with only 2 sessions is unbelievable!!! We have done it on my lower back to get some relief which has helped the blood flow into my feet which I suffer from neuropathy, and my feet have more feeling in them,and they are even feeling warm again!! Just using on my lower back has helped my hip with the nerves waking up and I even have less pain in the hip and I’m moving better, and I can do more around the house with little to no pain in my lower back!! I would recommend everyone and anyone to please give this a try, it has made a big difference on me!! Dr Lester has a great personality and cares so much for his patients, I will not go anywhere else !! Call the office and talk to them about it !!"

Scar tissue can form in three ways:

1. Micro tears: From repetitive use of a muscle (cleaning, sports, tpying, etc.)

2. Muscle tears: From obvious injuries like dislocated shoulders, whiplash, or torn muscles.

3. Sustained contractions: From holding unnatural positions (looking down to text or bad posture)

All of these habits and injuries happen very often, so it's important to be aware of them. We have several therapy options available to provide relief from scar tissue adhesion!

An MRI study (PMR 2014) showed that office workers have decreased disc height at the end of their work day, but a 20-second movement routine performed every 15 minutes has proven to prevent this.

The routine is: standing up, bending forward, backward, and side to side for 5 seconds each.

Your discs may not be bad; it could be your movement! This study shows how much your body requires movement. Movement can resolve 97% of disc herniations and even prevent many disc issues in the future.

Physical therapy works as well as surgery for healing degenerative meniscal tears in the knee, an injury related to tissue aging that can lead to osteoarthritis.

In a 2022 study, more than 270,000 people ages 45 to 70 with meniscal tears either had surgery to repair the damage or underwent 16 30-minute sessions with a physical therapist over eight weeks. The sessions included exercises like calf raises, leg presses, lunges, stair walking, and balancing on a wobble board. Researchers did routine follow-ups for five years. Overall, improvement in knee function and risk of developing knee osteoarthritis were similar regardless of whether people had physical therapy or surgery.

According to the investigators, the findings support physical therapy as an effective alternative for people with meniscal tears, especially for those concerned about surgery’s costs and possible complications. The results can be read here:

StemWave isn’t offering just another surface-level treatment that masks the pain – it's a solution designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, promoting long-term recovery.

Many patients report noticeable relief after just one session, with 15–30% improvement in pain levels. By the end of a full treatment plan, outcomes climb dramatically—up to 95% improvement in many cases.

Chronic inflammation is often the invisible driver behind lingering pain and slow recovery. StemWave’s technology helps reduce inflammation at the source, supporting faster healing and lowering the physical barriers that prevent long-term relief.

Mobility limitations don’t just affect movement—they affect quality of life. StemWave works to restore functional range of motion, enabling patients to return to daily activities, hobbies, and movement with confidence and ease.

Unlike traditional pain management approaches, StemWave offers a non-invasive solution with little to no pain and results that last.
