Dr. Colton Purscell · WLF Club, Fort Worth · New patients welcome
The first step out of bed, and the heel bites. The tendon that nagged in March still nags in June. Chronic soft-tissue pain isn’t a sign you need more rest, it’s a sign the repair process downshifted and never came back online. StemWave therapy in Fort Worth uses focused acoustic waves to restart that process. No needles, no drugs, no downtime.

What StemWave therapy is
StemWave is a form of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). A handpiece delivers focused acoustic pressure waves into injured tissue. Those waves raise local blood flow and trigger an inflammatory healing response in tissue that had gone dormant. It’s the same category of device used in sports-medicine and orthopedic clinics: non-invasive, in-office, FDA-cleared for chronic plantar fasciitis.
Dr. Colton Purscell reaches for StemWave on the stubborn cases: the heel, the elbow, the tendon that six months of rest and stretching never settled. The mechanism is mechanical, not magical, the acoustic load forces a stalled, low-grade injury back into an active repair phase. If your pain is acute or you’ve never tried conservative care first, this usually isn’t where you start.
What it helps with
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
- Achilles, patellar, and other tendon pain
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder pain and rotator-cuff irritation
- Lingering soft-tissue injuries that haven’t resolved with rest
What the research shows
Systematic reviews of shockwave therapy report clinically meaningful pain reduction across tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis, which is why it’s a recognized option once conservative care has stalled (review of shockwave therapy for tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis). Results build over a short series, typically three to five sessions spaced about a week apart, not a single visit. Dr. Purscell maps the count and intensity to your specific injury.
Pain that keeps coming back is a repair that stopped halfway. StemWave can support the rest of it by reopening the window your body closed too early.
StemWave is part of WLF’s medical and recovery program in Fort Worth. For deeper structural issues, it pairs naturally with chiropractic and rehab so the joint and the tissue get addressed together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does StemWave therapy hurt?
Most people feel a strong tapping or pulsing sensation, not sharp pain. Intensity is adjustable, and your provider dials it to what you can tolerate.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by injury, but chronic cases typically respond to a short series rather than one visit. You’ll get a specific plan at your first appointment.
Is there any downtime?
No. StemWave is non-invasive, you walk in and walk out, and you can return to normal activity the same day.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on your treatment plan and number of sessions. Call (817) 349-7815 or book a visit to review options.
