StemWave Therapy at Dixon Family Chiropractic
Advanced Acoustic Wave Therapy to Activate Healing, Reduce Pain, and Restore Function
StemWave Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses focused acoustic (sound) waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Often described as a “wake-up call” for injured or damaged tissues, StemWave increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and activates cellular repair without surgery, injections, or medication. At Dixon Family Chiropractic in Spirit Lake, StemWave Therapy offers a powerful, drug-free solution for musculoskeletal pain and tissue damage. This technology delivers energy deep into affected areas, triggering a cascade of healing responses that support collagen production, tissue regeneration, and long-term pain relief.

How StemWave Therapy Works
StemWave Therapy works through a process called mechanotransduction, where acoustic sound waves stimulate cells and tissues to initiate healing. During treatment, a handheld device delivers focused acoustic pulses directly to the injured area. These pulses create gentle pressure and micro-cavitation within the tissue, signaling the body to respond.
This stimulation increases circulation, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and healing agents such as fibroblasts and potentially stem cells to the damaged site. The waves activate cellular repair, encourage collagen formation, reduce inflammation, and help break down scar tissue. Many patients feel immediate feedback during treatment, as areas of injury are often more sensitive, allowing for precise targeting and effective care.
StemWave Therapy is commonly used for chronic pain, acute injuries, soft tissue damage, and conditions that have not responded well to traditional therapies.
