Whole Body Vibration Therapy

whole-bodyQ. What is Whole Body Vibration Therapy?

A. Whole Body Vibration uses a platform that patients either stand, kneel, sit on or attach other equipment to that can target specific body parts to complete their designed exercise or rehab programs.

Q. How does Body Vibration Therapy Work?

A. Vibration platforms move at speeds that increase muscle stimulation.  The body undergoes changes of rapid acceleration and deceleration, similar to running or being on a trampoline, allowing for increased range of motion in the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the areas being treated.  This helps increase blood supply in strenth and neurologic response, aiding in improving balance and movement therapies.

Q. How long do sessions last?

A. Most sessions last between five to twenty minutes, depending on the number of areas being exercised and the severity of the injury or condition being monitored.

WHOLE BODY VIBRATION THERAPY

Welcome to Now Care Pain Relief, where we believe that every patient deserves to live a pain-free life. We are excited to introduce you to a revolutionary therapy that has helped countless patients alleviate their pain and improve their overall health: Whole Body Vibration Therapy. This non-invasive and drug-free therapy uses gentle vibrations to stimulate muscles, bones, and joints, providing a host of benefits. Read on to learn more about how this therapy can help you.

Benefits of Whole Body Vibration Therapy

Whole Body Vibration Therapy has been shown to provide a wide range of benefits for the human body, including:

  1. Pain Relief: Whole Body Vibration Therapy has been proven to reduce chronic pain, joint pain, and muscle soreness. The vibrations stimulate the body’s natural healing response, releasing endorphins and reducing inflammation, which can help to alleviate pain.
  1. Improved Flexibility: The gentle vibrations of Whole Body Vibration Therapy can help to improve flexibility by stretching and relaxing the muscles. This can help to reduce the risk of injury, as well as improve overall mobility.
  1. Enhanced Strength: Whole Body Vibration Therapy can help to build muscle strength, especially in the core, back, and legs. This can help to improve overall posture and balance, which can reduce the risk of falls and other injuries.
  1. Increased Bone Density: As we age, our bones tend to become weaker and more brittle, which can increase the risk of fractures and other injuries. Whole Body Vibration Therapy has been shown to improve bone density, which can help to reduce the risk of fractures.
  1. Better Circulation: The gentle vibrations of Whole Body Vibration Therapy can help to improve blood flow throughout the body, which can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other health problems.

Types of Whole Body Vibration Therapy

There are two main types of Whole Body Vibration Therapy: vertical vibration and oscillating vibration.

  1. Vertical Vibration: This type of vibration therapy involves standing on a platform that vibrates up and down. This type of therapy is great for improving balance and stability, as well as building muscle strength.
  1. Oscillating Vibration: This type of vibration therapy involves standing on a platform that vibrates from side to side. This type of therapy is great for improving flexibility and mobility, as well as reducing joint pain.

At Now Care Pain Relief, we offer both types of Whole Body Vibration Therapy, tailored to your specific needs and health goals. Our trained chiropractors will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that will help you achieve optimal results.

How a Chiropractor Incorporates Whole Body Vibration Therapy

As chiropractors, our primary goal is to help patients achieve optimal health through non-invasive, drug-free therapies. Whole Body Vibration Therapy is an innovative technology that complements the chiropractic approach and can be incorporated into our practice in the following ways:

  1. As a Complement to Adjustments: Whole Body Vibration Therapy can be used as a complementary therapy to chiropractic adjustments. The vibrations can help to relax the muscles and increase circulation, making it easier for the chiropractor to make adjustments and improving the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
  1. Pre-Adjustment Warm-up: Before a chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractor may use Whole Body Vibration Therapy to warm up the muscles and joints. This can help to make the adjustment more effective and reduce the risk of injury.
  1. Post-Adjustment Recovery: After a chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractor may use Whole Body Vibration Therapy to help the body recover. The vibrations can help to reduce inflammation, promote circulation, and speed up the healing process.
  1. Rehabilitation: Whole Body Vibration Therapy can be used as part of a rehabilitation program to help patients recover from injuries or surgeries. The vibrations can help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
  1. Wellness and Prevention: Whole Body Vibration Therapy can be used as a part of a wellness program to help patients maintain optimal health and prevent future injuries. The vibrations can help to improve circulation, increase muscle strength and flexibility, and reduce stress.
