NOVEMBER - 202219A Leading Medical Device Manufacturerin Galveston, and colleagues. From 2011 to 2016, the percentage of chronic pain patients using nondrug therapies without opioids stayed relatively steady at 20 percent, but this figure rose rapidly thereafter, reaching 40percent in 2019, the researchers noted in JAMA Network Open.Monitoring the U.S. healthcare system closely for years, Zimmer MedizinSystems realizes that the industry has historically focused on treating symptoms instead of resolving the root cause of an issue. Insurance agencies' reluctance to reimburse the cost of alternative treatments is the primary reason for this issue. Patients with plantar fasciitis, for instance, might have options for exercises, arch support inserts, steroid injections, or surgery as a last resort; there are, however, options for a non-pharmaceutical and non-surgical therapy, such as Radial Pulse Therapy (radial shockwave therapy). This form of therapy could be used for plantar fasciitis right from the start, and it has a very high success rate of approximately 80 percent. There are studies showing that this therapy is better for pain management than steroid injections. But again, it may not be offered to patients simply because practitioners don't know about this form of therapy, or if they know, they might hesitate to prescribe it since insurance won't cover the cost.To this end, Zimmer MedizinSystems helps medical professionals with education, training, and the introduction of cash pay options in their clinics and practices. As a result, professionals don't have to depend on insurance reimbursement to make the best therapy decision for their patients. There is also a time lag between what is practiced in progressive hospitals and clinics and what is taught in university curricula. That's why Zimmer MedizinSystems collaborates with some well-established universities in this field to create awareness for the pain management solutions it provides. And, of course, the company provides seminars and regularly presents at conferences. They also have an online academy to train doctors to achieve the best outcomes with its solutions.Training, education and certification are offered via the Zimmer MedizinSystems Academy. The hospital or practice receives full access to all available training and supporting materials at no additional charge. Delivering Valuable Knowledge and Offering Robust SolutionsWhat differentiates Zimmer MedizinSystems is the broad choices a clinician can get from one single manufacturer in the space of physical medicine and pain management. No other producer of therapy modalities has the same wide range in this space. Therapies include High Energy Inductive Therapy (HEIT) ultrasound, electrotherapy, combination therapy, high power laser, radial pulse wave, high energy inductive therapy, and TECAR therapy, as well as treatment tables and traction/decompression units.Bob Wilber,PresidentSince the company's early days, it has been engrained in our DNA to listen and involve our customers in the development process
