​​​WHAT IS WHOLE BODY VIBRATION PLATE THERAPY?

 Non-medication Treatment for Osteoporosis and Muscle Strength 

​

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Plate Therapy: A treatment that involves standing or exercising on a platform that produces vibrations, stimulating muscles and bones.

​

• Bone Health: WBV has been shown to stimulate bone remodeling, potentially increasing bone density and strength, making it beneficial for conditions like osteoporosis.

• Muscle Strengthening: The vibrations cause muscles to contract and relax rapidly, improving muscle strength, endurance, and tone, which can help with balance and overall mobility.

• Improved Circulation: The vibrations promote better blood flow, helping to oxygenate tissues and remove metabolic waste, potentially speeding up recovery from injuries or workouts.

• Enhanced Flexibility: Regular use of WBV can increase flexibility by stretching muscles and improving joint range of motion.

• Low-Impact Exercise: WBV is a gentle, non-weight-bearing activity, making it suitable for people with joint pain, arthritis, or those recovering from injury.

• Balance and Coordination: The instability created by the vibrations forces the body to adjust, helping improve balance and coordination, which can reduce the risk of falls, especially in older adults.

• Pain Relief: The therapy may help alleviate muscle soreness, joint pain, and discomfort by increasing circulation and releasing endorphins, which are natural pain relievers.

• Convenience: WBV can be done in short sessions (typically 10 minutes), making it a time-efficient therapy for improving overall health and wellness.

DOES INSURANCE COVER THIS TREATMENT ?​​

Insurance does not cover whole body vibration, but it is very affordable and can be schedule 1-2 times per week at our office. ​
