![]() ![]() Further studies have shown that whole body stimulation is more effective than localized treatment. ![]() In clinical research, true sine waves have been more effective in relieving symptoms of many common malodies and provide the means for accurately controlling both the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations. In most cases these devices provide oscillatory excitation or in the case of TENS, digital or on off vibration. The TENS units and the shock treatment use electrostimulation of the muscle fascia to create digital vibration. The vibrators typically use a rotating eccentric weight or moving mass to produce vibration, these are very common in Lazy Boy recliners. These devices vary from a strong foot vibrator to TENS units. In reviewing many of the responses, I see reference to using vibration for relieving symptoms of PN. (I just talked with this client and he has noticed small inklings of his symptoms… so time for another session on the table) What makes this treatment different is that it uses high fidelity sine waves as opposed to oscillatory waves produced by eccentric weighted rotary vibrators found in most vibration devices. That was over a year ago and the sciatica has not returned. After 2 treatments of VSS he cancelled his surgery. One individual was scheduled for surgery for his chronic sciatica. This frequency combination has also been very effective for fibromyalgia and chronic sciatica. Clinical studies have shown that certain frequencies stimulate the natural endogenous opiate zones of the brain and also provide vasodilatation. Sunny Di Florio Tom Fenner Responded Greetings Sunny, I have used whole body Vibro Sensory Stimulation (VSS) at 68 Hz with a low frequency differential to completely relieve peripheral neuropathy, for over a year now, in an individual who had suffered foot pain and tingling for 5 years after arthroscopic knee surgery. ![]() American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) Any one have much success facilitating change for clients with peripheral neuropathy (PN) in the feet? If so, what did the client find most helpful? ![]()
