Session 4 of John’s StemWave journey.

John came in a little sore after a twingy week, so Dr. Roubion changed the plan. This session focused on his glute and SI joint area. As John put it, “We pivoted.”

Next up is one more session next week, then one a week for the next five or six weeks. John’s hoping tonight brings better sleep, and he’ll report back.

Follow along as John continues his StemWave treatment at Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.

Is knee pain changing your fall plans? 🏈

Fall in South Louisiana brings football games, outdoor festivals and family gatherings. When stadium stairs, neighborhood walks or standing at a tailgate become uncomfortable, it may be time to explore your treatment options.

Understanding when to consider knee replacement starts with looking at how pain affects your daily life and whether your current treatments provide enough relief.

John is back for his third StemWave Shockwave Therapy session at Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine—and this time, he’s coming in after playing 18 holes of golf. ⛳

He noticed a little discomfort beforehand, but after treatment to both his hip and SI/lower back area, John says he’s already feeling better.

Dr. Ryan Roubion also explains how StemWave Shockwave Therapy may help patients dealing with arthritis, tendon inflammation and certain tendon injuries—especially when surgery isn’t the right next step.

John has another session coming up this week, and we’ll continue following his progress.

What would you do if the pain finally stopped? ⚡

Sleep through the night without reaching for the pill bottle. Pick up your grandkids. Walk the dog without wincing. Get through a whole day — and a whole evening — without pain medication.

StemWave® shockwave therapy at Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine helps your body heal the source of the pain instead of just covering it up. It's non-invasive and drug-free — no needles, no incisions, no anesthesia, and nothing to recover from. Sessions take about 15 minutes, and you drive yourself home and go on with your day.

We use it for the aches people live with far too long: neck and back pain, shoulders and elbows that ache with every reach, knees and hips that hurt on the stairs, heel pain that makes the first steps out of bed the worst part of the morning, and nagging soft tissue injuries that never quite healed.

If you've been told surgery is your only option, or you're just not ready for injections, it's worth a conversation.

15 minutes later… how did John feel after his first StemWave shockwave therapy treatment?

In Part 2 of John Barranco’s StemWave journey, he’s checking in immediately after his first appointment at Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.

His treatment focused on areas around his left hip—and right after the session, John says he’s feeling good and excited to see what comes next.

But this is only the beginning. John will continue his recommended treatment plan and share his experience along the way, with one goal in mind: staying active and doing more of the things he loves with his kids.

Chronic tendon or joint pain doesn’t always mean surgery is the next step.

At Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we offer Shockwave Therapy using StemWave® technology—a non-surgical treatment that delivers focused acoustic energy to support the body’s natural healing processes.

StemWave may be considered for certain tendon, joint and soft-tissue conditions, particularly when symptoms have continued despite rest, physical therapy or other conservative treatments.
