-- Mercy Family Health has launched a treatment program for chronic plantar fasciitis that integrates StemWave Acoustic Wave Therapy with proprietary lifestyle protocols designed to amplify and sustain clinical outcomes. The program combines focused acoustic energy treatments with instruction in three evidence-informed strategies—Chi Walking, Low Inflammation Eating, and Stem Cell Activation—targeting the 85-95% success rate threshold documented across StemWave's clinical range while addressing a gap for patients frustrated with traditional insurance-covered care who seek natural alternatives.

Independent clinical studies indicate that shockwave therapy achieves significant improvement for chronic plantar fasciitis, with success rates generally ranging from 60-88% after a full treatment course, with some studies and StemWave's clinical data reporting success rates of 80-95%. At one year, radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy has shown success rates up to 98%. Because StemWave treatments are often not covered by traditional insurance, and Mercy Family Health operates on a direct-pay model, patients who exhaust conventional options often face limited recourse despite the widespread prevalence of this debilitating condition affecting individuals across diverse backgrounds. Mercy Family Health positions its integrated model as a response to the limitations many patients experience within standard medical care.
The treatment protocol involves 8-10 sessions, each lasting approximately 5-7 minutes. Most patients report noticeable improvement within the first few treatments. Throughout the course, practitioners progressively instruct participants in the three lifestyle strategies unique to Mercy Family Health, weaving these components into the treatment timeline to allow the program to potentially improve upon national standard success rates. This integration distinguishes the program from standalone acoustic wave therapy by embedding instruction directly into the clinical protocol.
Stanley Lang, M.D. and Sheri Lang, C.R.N.P., who have practiced family medicine for more than 40 years, designed the program as an extension of their long-standing commitment to whole-person care. Based in DuBois, Pennsylvania, the Langs bring a background in integrative approaches—Dr. Lang's history in obstetrical care and Sheri Lang's advanced natural infertility care through NaPro technology—that positions the StemWave program within a broader, evidence-informed philosophy rather than as an isolated offering.
Each lifestyle strategy incorporated into the program has scientific grounding. Chi Walking, referred to as Healing Walking, draws support from a 2021 review of 16 studies that found low-to-moderate strength evidence for Tai Chi in managing knee osteoarthritis, a parallel chronic pain condition. Anti-inflammatory nutrition, widely recognized in medical literature as a supportive measure for reducing inflammation and pain associated with plantar fasciitis, emphasizes omega-3s, antioxidants, and lean protein while advising against processed foods and sugars. Stem Cell Activation refers to the body's natural healing response stimulated by StemWave therapy, which promotes increased circulation, collagen production, and the attraction of the patient's own stem cells to injured tissue without injections.
Prospective patients can schedule an initial mapping session that includes a first StemWave treatment and an assessment of pain sources, followed by a personalized treatment plan. Patients may choose flexible treatment schedules, including individual sessions or the full 8-10 protocol. The program is open to individuals who are not members of the practice and is designed for those experiencing chronic plantar fasciitis pain who seek natural treatment options and are open to lifestyle modifications.
