What is Microvascular Therapy?
MicroVas therapy is the most advanced form of ionic impulse therapy on the market today. Unlike other forms of electrical stimulation which penetrate only a fraction of an inch and have both positive and negative electrodes on the same surface, MicroVas therapy treatments pass completely through the limb or body area under treatment. The emitter pads are always 180 degrees from each other and are usually placed in multiples to treat an entire limb or body area.
What conditions is MVT effective in treating?
- Diabetic Neuropathy - Tendinitis
- Wound Healing - Tarsal Tunnel
- Sprains/Strains - Edema
- Plantar Fasciitis - Impaired Circulation
- Pain Reduction - Disease Atrophy
How does MVT Work?
As you begin to feel the pulses of MicroVas therapy, your body will begin to relax. By using a digital current source to stimulate neuromuscular contractions that drive the venous muscle pumps, MicroVas therapy improves blood flow and tissue oxygenation, which in turn helps stimulate angiogenesis (a healing and rebuilding mechanism) within the body. MicroVas therapy creates strong, yet relaxing, contractions in skeletal muscle which can benefit people with problems relating to muscle tone, disuse atrophy, tissue damage and/or strength.
What are the health benefits of Microvas Therapy?
1. Increased Circulation: MicroVascular therapy immediately and dramatically increases blood flow which perfuses the capillary beds and elevates tissue oxygenation, aids in fibroblast proliferation and collagen formation, upregulates platelet derived growth factors and boosts transcapillary exchange of nutrients.
2. Involuntary Exercise: Retrains and rebuilds muscle, aids in restoring flexion, range of motion and strength. Elevates metabolism and production of local metabolites.
3. Lymphatic Drainage: Boosts lymphatic drainage from 10-fold to 30-fold, which relieves swelling and inflammation, decompresses nerves in constricted spaces and boosts the body's immune responses.
4. Pain Management: Palliative effects of MicroVas therapy include the blocking of neurological transmission of pain signals and stimulation of endorphins
How long is each session? How often can I experience MicroVas therapy?
Each session only last about 45 minutes. Although many people report they experience some benefit with their first treatment, MicroVas therapy has a cumulative effect. Therefore, for best results, a series of at least 12 treatments done within a relatively short time from (two to three times per week) are recommended. For severe or chronic conditions, treatments can be scheduled as close together as every two hours.
