Electromagnetic Pulse Wave Technology™ is the latest evolution in focused shockwave technology. This device utilizes 4th Generation Technology, which represents the significant advancements in science since its introduction in 1950. Dr. Kevin is the only practitioner in a 300-mile radius in this region of California to have the Pulse Wave unit available for patients.
The Pulse Wave utilizes a form of electromagnetic shockwave production based on a proprietary and patent-pending Stepped Parabolic Reflector, which produces multiple concentric waveforms directed to a central point within the tissue.
This unique form of focused wave production is termed a Focalized Electromagnetic Convergence Beam™. Unlike traditional focused shockwave devices that use Electrohydraulic production and then use a separate reflector to capture and focus the waves, our design produces focused Electromagnetic Pulse Waves that are pre-focused to a central point. This ensures 100% of the wave energy is transferred to the tissue.
This means the Pulse Wave Shock Wave Therapy Unit provides:
- Higher Precision with each treatment
- Lower Intensity with each treatment
- More Uniform waveform, which generates more consistent results
- Increased Comfort vs. shockwave units using older technology
- Superior Clinical Results with pain reduction

More of the Science behind what Pulse Wave achieves: (See Diagram below)
Mechanical Effects: Micro-trauma and disruption of tissue structures, which are beneficial in breaking down calcifications and stimulating tissue repair.
Biological Effects: Upon reaching the tissue, the shockwaves induce several biological effects:
- Promotion of neovascularization (formation of new blood vessels), which enhances blood circulation and accelerates healing processes.
- Activation of the body’s own Stem cells, fibroblasts, elastin fibers, and collagen production. By activating the body’s own healing mechanisms, you are able to accelerate the healing of soft tissue structures that typically take a long period of time. This effect is best seen in treating tendons and ligaments, which are known for long treatment times and complications.
- Analgesic Effects: Modulation of pain perception by inhibiting pain signals and promoting the release of endorphins.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What is Pulse Wave™?
Pulse Wave™ is a cutting-edge shockwave therapy device that uses advanced electromagnetic pulse wave technology. It is the first American-engineered system designed to deliver 100% of its energy precisely to the target tissue for superior clinical outcomes.
- How does Pulse Wave™ work?
Pulse Wave™ generates electromagnetic pulses through a high-voltage capacitor and copper coil. These pulses are pre-focused by our patented Stepped Parabolic Reflector™, converting the energy into a Focalized Electromagnetic Convergence Beam™ that delivers uniform energy directly to the treatment zone.
- What is Electromagnetic Pulse Wave Technology™?
It is a technology that uses electromagnetic generation rather than a spark-gap in saline. This process ensures 100% energy delivery to the target tissue without energy loss from dispersion, improving both treatment efficacy and patient comfort.
- How is Pulse Wave™ better than traditional electrohydraulic devices like Stemwave, Softwave, or Omniwave that you might see advertised?
- Technology: Traditional devices use a spark in saline with a reflector, resulting in a 360° spherical explosion that captures only about 50% of the energy. Pulse Wave™ uses electromagnetic generation and pre-focusing to deliver 100% focused energy.
- Clinical Application: While electrohydraulic devices may claim higher peak pressures (up to 100 MPa), these extreme settings are rarely used due to discomfort. Pulse Wave™ operates at an optimized, controlled 38 MPa that maximizes therapeutic effectiveness without the risks of over-treatment.
- What certifications does Pulse Wave™ have?
Pulse Wave™ is fully FDA registered and holds ISO, CE, and UI certifications, ensuring it meets the highest standards for safety, quality, and performance.
- Is Pulse Wave™ FDA approved?
Pulse Wave™ is FDA registered as a Class I device, which confirms that it meets essential safety and manufacturing standards for its intended use. FDA approval is typically reserved for higher-risk devices (Class III) and requires extensive review; Pulse Waves registration demonstrates their commitment to safety and efficacy.
- Where is Pulse Wave™ manufactured?
Pulse Wave™ is proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA, ensuring strict quality control and unparalleled domestic support.
- How long does a typical treatment session last?
Treatment sessions typically last between 8-12 minutes, depending on the condition and the treatment protocol used.
- What conditions can be treated with Pulse Wave™?
Pulse Wave™ is effective for a wide range of conditions, including chronic back pain, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, bursitis, joint problems, c-section recovery, and other musculoskeletal issues.
