Accelerated Recovery Performance (ARPwave) Therapy
What is ARP?
ARPwave therapy is an advanced rehabilitation system that uses a patented bioelectrical current in combination with guided movement and exercise to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and improve function. By stimulating the nervous system and targeting the root cause of an injury, ARPwave can help restore muscle performance, reduce scar tissue, and significantly speed up recovery time.
At Spine & Sports Injury Center, we are one of the only clinics in Boston to offer ARPwave therapy—bringing this cutting-edge technology to athletes, post-surgical patients, and anyone looking to recover faster and perform better.
What It Is
The ARPwave system combines a proprietary electrical device with customized treatment protocols to locate and treat the neurological origin of pain or dysfunction. While traditional imaging like MRI or CT scans may show where the injury is located, ARPwave technology helps identify where the problem began—addressing it at the source. Treatment uses low-voltage electrical stimulation alongside active range-of-motion and functional exercises to improve circulation, relax tight muscles, and re-educate movement patterns.
Who It Helps
ARPwave therapy can be effective for:
- Muscle strains and joint sprains
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, foot, cervical spine, lumbar spine)
- Chronic stiffness and mobility limitations
- Sciatica and nerve-related pain
- Sports injuries and overuse conditions
- Muscle spasms
- Prevention or slowing of muscle atrophy during recovery
- Enhancing range of motion and performance
What to Expect
During your session, your provider will use the ARPwave device to scan and locate areas of neurological dysfunction linked to your injury or pain. Once identified, electrodes are placed on the affected areas while you perform guided movements or exercises. The combination of stimulation and movement works to retrain the nervous system, break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function. Most patients notice improvements in pain and movement after just a few sessions.
Precautions
ARPwave therapy is safe for most individuals but may be avoided for those with certain implanted medical devices (such as pacemakers) or specific health conditions. Your provider will review your medical history to determine if ARPwave is appropriate for you.
