What is Microvas 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.
How does Microvas Therapy 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.
Is Microvas Therapy New?
The technology was developed between 1988 – 1989 and originated in US military laboratories to treat hypothermia in Navy Seals. That original technology has been developed, revised and refined by MicroVas scientists
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? Who would benefit most from MicroVas therapy? are there any contraindications?
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 schedule as close together as every two hours.
People suffering from the following conditions experience the most benefit:
~ Diabetic Neuropathy -
The MicroVas System shows amazing success in improving neuropathy in the feet of diabetics. In follow up on this condition, improvement has persisted out to four years. To our knowledge, there is no current technology or treatment modality that can reverse diabetic neuropathy. This appears to be a therapeutic benefit unique to MicroVas. It is not known yet how this is occurring. It may be due to improvement in the circulation that nourishes the nerves or an unknown direct action on the nerves.
Care Plus Podiatry is proud to be offering MicroVas therapy to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy and chronic wounds. It has been well established that many complications of diabetes is due to small vessel (microvascular) disease. www.microvas.com This non-invasive treatment has been effective in reducing or eliminating the pain and numbness of peripheral neuropathy. It has also been extremely successful in healing chronic wounds. MicroVas therapy uses a digital wave to penetrate the limb and cause an increase of oxygen flowing to the nerves or wounds. We have been using this technology for since the beinning of the year, with fantastic results.
~ Disease Atrophy
~ Slow Non-Healing Wounds
~ Sports Injuries (Sprains, Strains, Spasms and Tears)
Get back in the game faster. R.I.C.E. and MicroVas is better. Conventional treatment+ MicroVas works by decreasing the inflammatory process. It keeps the muscles working until conventional therapy and exercise can be done
