StemWave® for Hip Pain
Non-invasive StemWave therapy to support tissue healing, circulation, and pain reduction.
Hip pain can affect walking, sleep, training, and daily activity. Symptoms may be felt in the side of the hip, the buttock region, the front of the hip, or may overlap with low back and pelvic mechanics.
At Valley Physical Medicine, we evaluate hip pain using a conservative, function-focused approach. Treatment recommendations are individualized and may include chiropractic care, supportive in-office therapies, rehabilitation strategies, and adjunctive options when clinically appropriate.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain may be associated with conditions such as:
- Lateral hip tendon irritation patterns
- Gluteal or deep hip muscle strain patterns
- Hip stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Overuse injuries and training workload changes
- Mechanical stress from spine and pelvic movement patterns
- Arthritis-related pain patterns (select cases)
StemWave for Hip Pain
For select cases of hip pain, StemWave therapy may be considered as an adjunctive option. StemWave is a non-invasive acoustic wave technology used to support healing and pain reduction for select musculoskeletal conditions.
Some patients pursue StemWave when pain is persistent, when symptoms recur with activity, or when they want to support recovery alongside chiropractic care and rehabilitation. Individual outcomes vary and recommendations are based on clinical presentation and response.
What to Expect
A typical StemWave visit includes:
- Review of symptoms and functional limitations
- Targeted application to the involved tissues and structures
- A conservative care plan tailored to your response over time
- Home recommendations to support recovery between visits
