What is Whole-Body Vibration Therapy? 

At RxWellness, we provide state-of-the-art VibraFlex Treatments using the VibraFlex® 450, developed by ORTHOMETRIX, INC. This revolutionary therapy utilizes internationally patented Galileo vibration technology, setting a new rehabilitation and physical therapy standard. 

When you step onto the vibrating platform, it transfers precisely calibrated energy throughout your body, triggering your muscles’ natural stretch reflex without the strain and stress typically associated with conventional exercise.

How Does Whole-Body Vibration Therapy Work?

The VibraFlex® 450’s unique uni-directional, oscillating pattern delivers mechanical stimulation at specific frequencies, typically between 12-27 Hz. This process means your targeted muscles receive 12-27 precise impulses every second, causing them to contract and relax through an involuntary, natural muscle stretch reflex. 

In just one minute of therapy, your muscles experience approximately 1,500 contract/relax cycles—equivalent to an intensive workout but without the usual stress on your joints, ligaments, and tendons. Research has shown that this efficient stimulation pattern particularly benefits those with limited mobility, athletes seeking enhanced performance, and individuals managing chronic conditions.

What are the Benefits of VibraFlex Treatments

A comprehensive meta-analysis of 46 randomized controlled trials has demonstrated the remarkable effectiveness of whole-body vibration therapy across diverse patient populations. VibraFlex treatments, utilizing the cutting-edge VibraFlex® 450 device, offer evidence-based benefits for physical health and well-being:

• Increased flexibility and range of motion
• Reduced stress on joints, ligaments, and tendons compared to conventional exercise
• Improved balance and coordination, leading to fewer falls and fractures
• Enhanced mobility and postural reflexes
• Less stress on the cardiovascular system
• Stimulation of the neuromuscular system
• Improved leg circulation for people with diabetes
• Increased oxygenation in the blood
• Removal of lactic acid and amino acids from the body
• Increased overall muscle performance
• Reduced pain and disability associated with osteoarthritis
• Reduced acute and chronic lower back pain

These benefits make VibraFlex treatments particularly valuable for older adults seeking to maintain stability, athletes looking to enhance performance and recovery, and individuals managing chronic conditions. The therapy can be customized to address specific health goals while providing a low-impact alternative to conventional exercise.

Are Whole-Body Vibration Therapy Safe?

Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated that properly administering whole-body vibration therapy is safe and well-tolerated. Research shows remarkably low dropout rates of less than 15% in clinical trials, indicating excellent patient comfort and satisfaction with the treatment.

While VibraFlex treatments offer numerous benefits, proper medical oversight ensures optimal safety and effectiveness. Before beginning treatment, a qualified healthcare professional will thoroughly evaluate your medical history, current health status, and specific wellness goals. This assessment helps determine if whole-body vibration therapy is appropriate for your situation and allows for treatment frequency and intensity customization.

Treatment sessions are brief, typically lasting just 2-3 minutes twice weekly, making them both convenient and manageable for most patients. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment parameters to ensure safety and optimal results.

RxWellness’ Holistic Approach to Patient Care (3 Phases)

At RxWellness Spine & Health, we take a holistic approach to patient care, focusing on three key phases:

• Relief Care: Our primary goal is to reduce pain and symptoms, providing frequent treatments to help patients find relief.
