What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy is used for the treatment of superficial orthopedic disorders. At Mandarino Chiropractic in Brooklyn, we use the Zimmer Enpuls Radial Shockwave Therapy Ver 2.0. The device generates a mechanical pressure wave, which is transferred to the human body that radiates out in the tissue. The tissue absorbs this mechanical energy and this mechanical stress triggers reactions in the tissue that have a positive influence on various orthopedic and neurological conditions.
What The Zimmer Enpuls Radial Shockwave Therapy Ver 2.0 Treats:
Some conditions that the Zimmer Enpuls Radial Shockwave Therapy Ver 2.0 treats include tendon problems, chronic inflammation, myofascial syndromes, and more!
What is Radial Pressure Wave Therapy?
Radial Pressure Wave Therapy (RPW) is a non-invasive treatment that helps in tissue healing as it addresses chronic pain and inflammation. It is a form of shockwave therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing process by sending high-energy acoustic waves into the specific target areas. At Mandarino Chiropractic in Staten Island, NY, RPW treatment is performed using equipment from Chattanooga, who is the world’s largest manufacturer of rehabilitation equipment for treating musculoskeletal, neurological, and soft tissue disorders. We use the Intelect RPW 2 at, which addresses pain and inflammation in orthopaedic conditions. It is designed to activate connective tissue from the surface level to difficult-to-reach pathologies.
How It Works
A handheld applicator is applied directly to the target area where pressure waves are delivered through the skin to the injured tissue, increasing the blood flow to the site and accelerating the natural healing process. The strong energy pulses create tiny bubbles which penetrate tissues and stimulate the repair process within the damaged tissues.
