StemWave® for Chronic Neck Pain
Non-invasive StemWave therapy to support tissue healing and pain reduction.
Neck pain can affect sleep, work, driving, exercise, and daily comfort. Symptoms may develop suddenly after a strain or injury, or gradually over time due to posture, repetitive stress, and mobility limitations.
At Valley Physical Medicine, we evaluate neck 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 Contributors to Neck Pain
Neck pain may be associated with patterns such as:
- Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
- Muscular tension and strain patterns
- Postural stress related to work and daily activity
- Degenerative or arthritis-related changes (select cases)
- Pain patterns that extend into the upper back or shoulders
- Symptoms following injuries such as whiplash (select cases)
StemWave for Neck Pain
For select cases of neck pain, StemWave therapy may be considered as an adjunctive option. StemWave is a non-invasive acoustic wave technology used to support tissue recovery and pain reduction for select musculoskeletal conditions.
Some patients choose StemWave when symptoms are persistent, when flare-ups recur, or when they want to support recovery alongside chiropractic care and rehabilitation. Individual outcomes vary and recommendations are based on clinical presentation and response.
Because neck pain can involve more than one contributing factor, we recommend an evaluation first to confirm suitability for StemWave and determine the best overall treatment plan.

What to Expect
A typical StemWave visit includes:
- Review of symptoms and functional limitations
- Targeted application to involved tissues and structures
- A conservative care plan based on response over time
- Home
- recommendations to support recovery between visits
Recommended Next Step
If neck pain is limiting your daily activity, affecting sleep, or recurring with work or exercise demands, a focused evaluation can help determine whether StemWave may be an appropriate adjunct to your care plan.
