Whole body vibration is yet another useful tool in our treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy. When the whole body is "vibrated" circulation is improved throughout the entire circulatory system. Of coure, we can localize vibration as well. Sitting on the platform and leaning back against the padded back rail, helps to stimulate the Dorsal Horn - and then again improve the circulation in the arms and hands.
Often, when whole body vibration is not an option, vibration still an option; by placing placing vibrating plates under the thighs, calf muscles or directlyly under the feet. Once again, not only does this improve circulation from one to 4 hours after use - thus, "feeding" the oxygen deprived nerves. Often, when treating a diabetic "dry," we can use this particular type of vibration as it is safe for diabetics; and we can attach our neuromuscular stimulation pads directly to the feet at the same time.
When it comes to Whole body vibration, however our top of the line platform comes from VibePlate; one of the few vibration platforms what givesw off vertical vibrations - which is preferred by medical professionals and fitness trainers alike.
Depending upon they type of vibration required, we might treat locally, have seated to work the Dorsal Horn, use a vibrating board to either do exercise or Tai Chi on, lay on or as you can see to the left ride a stationary bicycle on. In fact, so effecient is Whole Body Vibration, even those in wheelchairs, rolled up onto the platform, tend to break out in a sweat after only a few minutes.
