Shockwave Therapy

At Manhattan Sports Therapy, Dr. Rolland Miro, a board-certified chiropractic sports physician, offers advanced Shockwave Therapy using the Intelect RPW 2. This non-invasive treatment is effective for chronic pain, sports injuries, and difficult-to-treat musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you’re an athlete or simply managing daily pain, Shockwave Therapy provides significant pain relief and faster recovery.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves that penetrate deep into tissues to stimulate the body’s healing processes. The Intelect RPW 2 precisely targets affected areas, making it ideal for chronic and stubborn injuries like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. As the shockwaves reach the affected tissues, they boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and trigger cellular repair mechanisms.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy offers several scientifically-backed advantages:

  • Quick and Convenient: Treatments last only a few minutes, making it a practical choice for busy New Yorkers.
  • Non-Invasive Pain Relief: Avoids surgery and medications, offering an alternative path to pain management.
  • Targeted Precision: The Intelect RPW 2 provides a focused approach, reaching deeper tissues with a focal zone of up to 30mm, crucial for addressing chronic pain.
  • Fast and Lasting Relief: Clinical studies show that patients experience relief after three to six treatments, with many reporting improved function and reduced pain after the first session.

The Proven Success of Shockwave Therapy for Non-Invasive Pain Relief

Studies indicate that Shockwave Therapy has a success rate of approximately 70-80% in relieving chronic pain for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. In addition, research from the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery shows that 77% of patients with chronic plantar fasciitis reported significant pain reduction after focused shockwave treatments.

Proven Treatments, Happy Patients

I found Dr. Rolland Miro through a web search, and it turned out to be the best decision I’d ever made. It took less than a month of treatment before my headaches stopped and my running shoes were back on. By the end of 4 months, my symptoms were completely gone – I NEVER thought that would happen! Dr. Rolland knew exactly what he was doing and helped me more than I ever thought possible.

Combining Cold Laser Therapy with Shockwave Treatment

Combining cold laser therapy with Shockwave treatment offers a highly effective approach to healing and pain management. Cold laser therapy stimulates a positive chemical change in tissues, enhancing cellular function and promoting anti-inflammatory effects. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, induces beneficial mechanical changes that increase circulation, break down adhesions, and trigger cellular repair processes. When used together, these therapies work synergistically to accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and improve overall tissue health by amplifying both cellular and mechanical responses. This combination is particularly powerful for patients seeking fast, lasting relief from musculoskeletal conditions.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
