Our first StemWave patient testimonial!!

"At my evaluation I was bending at 98 degrees and had been there 1 month and now I’m at 115/118 degrees. I started the Stem wave treatment on April 28, after my 2nd/3rd treatment my coworkers and multiple people were telling me they saw an improvement in my walking. I have now had 6 treatments and my walk is 10x better than before the treatment, the numbness I was experiencing is slowly getting better and going away. I would recommend doing the treatment and also Optimal Performance too, the staff is extremely friendly and supportive and helpful. My therapist has helped me emotionally too because I was going into a depression state because i wasn’t progressing and now I see progression and it’s showing when I walk."

We are so excited to have this new technology! Call us today for a $49 mapping session to see if this regenerative therapy could help with your chronic pain 601-342-2344!
