Q&A with Dr. Jennifer Miller: Opening a Cash-Based Clinic with StemWave

If you’re a chiropractor, physical therapist, or MD exploring regenerative tools for your private practice that actually work, this interview is for you. Dr. Jennifer Miller is a practicing chiropractor based in Tampa, Florida, with a rare trifecta of experience: provider, educator, and part of the StemWave sales and clinical advisory team. She’s built practices from scratch, worked in surgical and interventional pain, and now teaches providers how to bring non-invasive electrohydraulic shockwave therapy into their clinics-with clarity, confidence, and real outcomes.

In this interview, Dr. Miller shares exactly why she rebuilt her entire clinic model around StemWave, the mindset shift she believes most providers need to make, and what she wishes more doctors understood about the future of regenerative care. 

Q: Can you walk us through your background and how you came into the world of StemWave?

A: I’m located in Tampa, Florida, and I’ve worked in a lot of different spaces-minimally invasive spine surgery, interventional pain, private practice ownership, electrodiagnostics, consulting, and building clinics for other people. I also teach at conventions and work closely with diagnostic companies. 

When I was looking to open another practice, I wanted to do something different-something centered around a single, impactful technology. I’ve used a wide range of modalities before, but when I came across StemWave, I immediately saw the value. It was unlike anything I had experienced before. 

Also, being hypermobile with some chronic radiculopathy, manual care was taking a toll on my body. This was an opportunity to open a new clinic and stay clinically involved-without sacrificing my health.

Q: As a practice owner, what ultimately convinced you to invest in StemWave?

A: I needed something that delivered real results across a wide range of conditions-something that would allow me to back off physically while still delivering high-value care. 

I had used other technologies like piezoelectric and electromagnetic pressure wave, laser, and more. None of them delivered the consistent outcomes I wanted. Once I reviewed the research and looked at what StemWave was actually doing clinically, it became a no-brainer. 

I wanted to be on the front lines of regenerative care, and this checked all the boxes.

Q: Once you integrated StemWave, what changed in your clinic?

A: A lot. At the time, I was still running other businesses, but I was able to build out an entire StemWave-only practice in one large room, by myself. It wasn’t easy, but it was doable.

The best part? Seeing patients became fun again. In surgical and interventional pain, you often deal with people who are discouraged and struggling. But when you have something like this—where people actually get results—it reinvigorates your drive to treat. It changed the way I thought about care. It was a complete mindset shift.

Q: When you were treating joint and muscle conditions, what stood out to you right away?

A: Knees were a big one early on. Those are tough cases, whether you’re a chiropractor or another type of provider. With OA in the knee, your traditional options are limited: possibly an adjustment, some soft tissue work, or injections such as hyaluronic acid or PRP. But those either have minimal relief, short-term effects, or take too long.

With StemWave, people who could barely walk were improving their squat depth by 50% in one session. Over and over again. It was incredibly satisfying and honestly kind of shocking.

Q: What do you wish more providers would realize about the way they practice now?

A: That insurance isn’t the only way to run a practice—and often, it’s actually holding them back. A lot of providers feel like they need that safety net, but they don’t realize how much it’s limiting both their patients and their revenue.

When you’re stuck in the insurance model, you offer what’s covered—not what works best. You’re fighting for reimbursement, seeing more volume, spending less time with each patient. But when you shift to a model based on real results, everything changes. Patients will pay for what they value, no matter where they live or what their income level is—if you deliver.

That’s the shift I hope more people make: from volume to value.

Q: Switching gears… On the sales side, what are the top hesitations you hear from providers, and how do you respond?

A: The big three:

  1. “My patients won’t pay for it.” I always ask: Are there other providers nearby charging cash for anything? Almost always yes. Patients pay for what they value. If they’re spending money on nails, cars, vacations—don’t tell me they won’t invest in their health. You just need to show them the value.

  2. “I don’t have time.” This is not a difficult modality to integrate. The support we provide—from training to clinical questions—is extensive. You just have to start.

  3. “I’ll do it later.” Meanwhile, your patients still need help. The longer you delay, the more people go underserved. If you know it’s the right move, delaying won’t make it easier. Just do it.

Q: Can you explain your role as a StemWave Clinical Educator?

A: With most devices, maybe you get a booklet and a one-hour demo, if you’re lucky. With StemWave, the clinical educator role is much more hands-on.

We offer in-person group trainings, which are extremely valuable not just for learning the device but for engaging with other providers, troubleshooting unique cases, and seeing how people apply it differently. You leave those weekends confident and ready to treat Monday morning.

And the support doesn’t end there. Every provider I train has my personal cell number. They can text or call me anytime. We also have a full library of resources, a community board, and coaching calls. It’s not a “good luck!” situation. We’re here for the long haul.

Q: Where do you see regenerative care heading in the next few years, and where does StemWave fit in?

A: Honestly, I don’t think practices without a regenerative care modality will stay competitive for long, not even a few years out. Patients are more informed than ever, and they’re actively looking for non-invasive options.

StemWave specifically is just getting started. The research is expanding, and I think we’re going to see its applications go way beyond MSK or sexual health. Wound care, complex chronic conditions, and more. If you’re a provider who wants to be on the leading edge of that, this is your chance.

Final Thoughts

Dr. Jennifer Miller isn’t just talking theory, she’s lived every side of this: the burnout, the pivot, the comeback. Her insight is a reminder to every provider: the future of care doesn’t belong to the most overbooked, but to the most innovative.
