Sound Wave Vibration Therapy
Sound wave vibration therapy is a therapy which involves the use of special speakers called transducers and therapeutic music to create a positive environment. The therapy is drug-free and has shown benefits for many medical conditions.
A number of studies have investigated the effects of vibration stimuli on musculoskeletal disorders. This includes the effects on bone ossification, anabolic effects on intervertebral discs, and mechanical stimulation of the muscle stretch reflex.
Vibroacoustic therapy is used to improve overall health and promote pain relief. In addition, it may be effective in alleviating stress and anxiety, and in mitigating side effects of cancer treatments.
Vibroacoustics speed up circulation and are beneficial in the healing of open wounds. They are also useful for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
The application of sound wave vibration therapy in children with cerebral palsy has shown positive effects on motor performance. These results were obtained through a clinical evaluation. However, further research is needed to understand the complex mechanisms involved in the process.
As in other types of therapy, the effect of vibroacoustic sound is immediate and has a positive impact on the body. During a session, the patient lies on a mat and the treatment is applied. Depending on the type of condition, a few sessions may be required.
While vibration has been primarily used in sports for promoting muscle recovery and performance, it has some lesser-known uses for treating medical conditions. Research is still ongoing, and calls for interdisciplinary cooperation.
