-- Mercy Family Health has announced the availability of StemWave Shockwave Therapy in DuBois, PA and in the surrounding Punxsutawney and St Marys areas, offering residents a non-surgical alternative for chronic knee pain whether from a degenerative arthritis or from overuse injury. Clinical trials demonstrate that extracorporeal shockwave therapy significantly reduces pain scores on the visual analog scale from 7.56 at baseline to 3.83 within 12 weeks, according to published research. This FDA-cleared technology, utilized by professional sports teams and major medical centers, now provides DuBois residents access to a treatment option that addresses a gap in local pain management without reliance on invasive procedures or medication.

A meta-analysis of nine studies involving 705 patients concluded that extracorporeal shockwave therapy significantly lowers pain scores both two weeks and six months post-treatment compared to control groups. A randomized controlled study further reported that focused shockwave therapy achieved a pain intensity reduction of -4.5 ± 2.5 points on the visual analog scale at four weeks. Mercy Family Health reports that 85 to 90 percent of patients undergoing StemWave treatment experience significant and sustained improvement for chronic pain conditions.
For individuals in DuBois, Punxsutawney and St Marys seeking to avoid invasive surgery and reduce dependence on pain medications—including opioids and NSAIDs—StemWave presents an alternative pathway. Professional sports teams rely on shockwave therapy to accelerate recovery from injuries such as patellar tendinopathy and hamstring strains, allowing athletes to return to play faster without surgical intervention. Mercy Family Health promotes this therapy as a means to avoid surgery and minimize reliance on medications that can be addictive or damaging to the body.
Mercy Family Health integrates StemWave acoustic waves with three complementary lifestyle strategies: Healing Walking, Low Inflammation Eating, and Stem Cell Activation. These protocols, developed over many years by the practice, are unique to Mercy Family Health. The treatment protocol typically involves eight to ten sessions spread over several weeks, during which lifestyle instruction is woven throughout to support sustained improvement rather than temporary relief. This integrated method aims to help patients achieve pain reduction and maintain better outcomes over time.
DuBois area residents interested in accessing this therapy can begin with a $50 introductory mapping and treatment session available through the company website. During this initial session, patients receive their first treatment, undergo a pain source assessment, and receive a proposed treatment plan. Patients may choose the full eight-to-ten session protocol for maximum benefit, which includes the holistic instruction bonuses, or pursue single treatments as their schedule and budget allow. Video resources and scheduling options are accessible online.
The OrthoGold 100®, a patented extracorporeal shock wave device, received FDA clearance on May 4, 2021, for indications including temporary increase in local blood circulation, relief of pain, and activation of connective tissue. With this FDA-cleared technology now accessible through Mercy Family Health, DuBois residents have expanded options for pain management that do not rely solely on surgery or medication. Mercy Family Health, with decades of patient care experience in Pennsylvania, brings this evidence-based alternative to the local community.
