CHIMANOSMedizinisches Versorgungszentrum
Central to our work is the individual, whom we regard holistically. Diagnostics, conservative and surgical therapy of the locomotor system are the cornerstones of our endeavor.
Shockwaves are simply sound waves. When inflamed or sick cells come in contact with them, neurotransmitters which promote the healing process in the inflamed area are released. Severely hardened tissues or calcifications can be induced to disintegrate.
In 1–3 sessions over a course of about three weeks, the body part in question is treated with 1000–1400 shockwave pulses. Depending on the severity and location of the problem, this treatment may be performed with or without local anesthesia. Non-healing bone fractures often need to be treated under brief general anesthesia.
One of the greatest advantages of this therapy, which is renowned worldwide today, is that in contrast to an operation it involves almost no risks or complications.
CHIMANOS stands for the integration of:
- Chirurgie (surgery), Chirotherapy
- Manual medicine
- Allgemeinmedizin (General Medicine)
- Natural Holistic Methods
- Orthopedic treatments
- Sports Medicine, Shockwave Therapy
