Vibrational Plate Training Incorporated Into Physical Therapy Treatment

If you have ever suffered any kind of sports injury, then you may already realize how a skilled sports injury chiropractor can aid in your physical therapy and recovery. Here at Fox Chiropractic we have always made physical therapy and sports injury treatment a key part of the services we offer, not only for athletes but for anyone trying to regain full functionality. We even have an advanced form of therapy that you may not know about — vibrational plate training.

How does it work? For the patient it works just like any normal exercise routine, except that you perform your exercises while standing on a metal plate. The metal plate vibrates at a very low frequency of 20 to 50 Hertz. As you exercise, the vibrations coming up through the plate stimulate your muscle groups and circulatory system, increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to your tissues. The muscles respond to the vibration by working just a little bit harder than they would if you were standing on an ordinary surface, and the extra blood flow helps the muscles recover more rapidly.

Westminster Rehab and Wellness Care

The benefits offered by vibrational plate training can make a big difference if you are rehabilitating a sports injury such as a torn ligament, a muscular sprain or strain, or surgery to repair a damaged joint. (The vibrations also make their way up the spinal column to relieve back and neck pain.) But these benefits can make just as big a difference for non-athletes on the mend from a personal injury or chronic medical condition. Vibrational plate training can even help perfectly healthy individuals as part of their ongoing wellness care, along with the nutritional counseling and other therapies we provide. So if you need a Westminster chiropractor, contact us to learn more about our good vibrations!
