The concept of whole person or holistic care, restoring health throughout the entire body with considerations around physical and mental wellness, is becoming a bit of a healthcare hot topic. Every provider wants their patients to have the best outcomes… to live without suffering but the truth is you don’t always have the right solution in house.  So you try what you can, and if that doesn’t work you refer. 

But the toll chronic pain has on mental health is an undeniable problem and your ability to make an impact does more than ‘make a dent’ it ‘changes lives’! 

Let’s look at the numbers

According to the CDC’s April 2023 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), chronic pain remains a significant and growing public health concern, impacting both physical and mental well-being.

More than 51 million U.S. adults, over 20% of the population, live with chronic pain. Over 85% of chronic pain patients also experience depression or anxiety. Of these, approximately 17 million experience a more severe version called high-impact chronic pain, which significantly restricts daily activities and quality of life leading to severe mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and serious psychological distress.

The unspoken reality?
It’s important to identifying chronic pain and mental health as an unseen crisis.


For millions of Americans, chronic pain is more than just a physical limitation; It’s an invisible burden that quietly reshapes every corner of their lives. It robs them of energy, alters relationships, and slowly chips away at their mental health. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and emotional exhaustion are common companions to persistent pain, yet they’re rarely addressed in traditional treatment plans. 

And as a provider, you’ve likely seen this firsthand. Patients come in feeling utterly defeated. They’re tired, not only of hurting but of believing in an answer that never seems to be found. Most of the time, they’ve already been through the gauntlet of medications, procedures, and promises only to end up back in the same spot than they started.

It’s more than pain it’s lifestyle burden 

Chronic pain doesn’t just make getting through the days hard, it often disrupts sleep patterns. In fact, evidence shows, individuals with chronic pain frequently experience disturbances such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restorative rest. According to a study published in Nature and Science of Sleep, approximately 75% of people with chronic pain experience clinically significant sleep disturbances.

And since the body is an interconnected system. Sleep affects healing. Healing influences movement. Movement drives hormone balance and brain health. And all of it feeds directly into mental well-being. When pain goes unaddressed, it doesn’t just linger in the joints or muscles. It reverberates through every aspect of a person’s life.

Despite all the evidence on these connections, the standard approach to pain care often remains disjointed and surface-level. And while, the pervasive nature of chronic pain underscores the need for comprehensive care that addresses not only physical symptoms but also the mental and emotional health challenges that come with them there is no straightforward go-to solution. 

Here’s the worst part…The longer the pain and suffering persists, the greater the risk of developing long-term psychological conditions like depression and anxiety becomes (and with it the risk of suicide also increases). 

So what do we do about it?

Here’s the thing, when it comes to addressing pain, much of what’s taught is built around symptom management. But, managing pain only lasts so long before patients and even care teams grow tired of settling.

At StemWave, we believe amazing results can happen when you go beyond managing pain and find a way to eliminate it. 

But real healing requires a leap of faith that takes providers beyond symptom management… something we believe can be done by directly addressing the root cause. Our proprietary non-invasive approach to pain management doesn’t just aim for temporary relief, it revitalizes the body’s natural recovery processes, empowering patients to feel better physically and often mentally. 

A New Pathway to Hope: How StemWave CRT Makes a Difference

StemWave offers a non-invasive regenerative therapy that works by activating the body’s natural healing processes using targeted acoustic wave technology through a proprietary approach called Cellular Response Therapy or CRT

The result? Relief often felt after the first treatment and in many cases for the first time in years.

Data gathered from hundreds of patients and providers show results such as…

  • 15–30% improvement after just one session
  • 80–95% improvement over the course of treatment (8–10 sessions)

But what’s even more powerful than the numbers is the transformation you see in your patients.

One example we love was shared by a provider who had a patient with plantar fasciitis she hadn’t smiled in months and was barely making it through the day. Here is her testimonial…
“Today was just my fourth treatment, and I’d say I’m 85% better. Last week, I did 8 miles!”

These outcomes go beyond mobility. 

They restore hope; the foundation for mental and emotional healing.
And, when you lead with relief from the inside out, you are standing for something much greater than pain management. You are standing for dignity, vitality, and long-term wellness in your community.

Reframing the Provider’s Role

The joy that comes with seeing results is remarkable, especially when the care you’re providing  helps patients feel they are actually able to live their lives again.

CRT is more than a tool, it’s an opportunity to help patients break the cycle of chronic pain, so they can:

  • Return to work or hobbies they had given up
  • Re-engage with their loved ones
  • Sleep better and think clearer
  • Feel confident that life can actually get better

These moments matter. They shift the narrative from “I’m broken” to “I’m healing.” That mindset shift can change everything from clinical outcomes, to patient satisfaction, to referral volume.

Practice growth that is life changing (literally!)

When you help a patient reclaim their sense of self, they become your most vocal advocates. They don’t just leave pain-free—they leave inspired.

And inspired patients:

  • Refer friends and family
  • Leave glowing testimonials
  • Return for preventive or additional care

The emotional connection you build through CRT isn’t just good for patients—it’s transformative for your practice. In fact, most StemWave clinics report $7,000–$12,000 in monthly revenue growth, often within weeks of integrating the device.

Ready to help patients feel like themselves again?

Pain may begin in the body, but it never stays there. Over time, it steals more than mobility. It chips away at joy, energy, confidence, and connection. Patients stop doing what they love. They stop showing up for the people they care about. And eventually, they stop feeling like themselves.

You’ve seen it. You’ve felt the weight of it as a provider. And maybe, you’ve wished there was more you could do.

Perhaps you’re even wanting to a stand for care that goes deeper and reaches beyond symptom management to support the full human experience.

StemWave’s Cellular Response Therapy offers a chance to do just that. It is not just a treatment. It is an opportunity to lead your community toward a new standard of care. One where healing means more than reducing pain. One where you are helping restore identity, dignity, and everyday life.

You do not have to refer that patient out anymore. You can keep them in your care and walk with them through their recovery.

If you are ready to be known as the clinic that gives people their lives back, we are ready to support you every step of the way.
