MicroVas Therapy, also referred to as MicroVascular Therapy, is a physical therapy treatment used to help stimulate blood flow, primarily in the feet. This treatment is used to help patients who experience chronic pain due to poor circulation. In many cases, pain caused by poor circulation may be so severe that patients may experience difficulties with walking or standing for prolonged periods of time. If you believe you may benefit from MicroVas treatments, and you’d like to learn more about how they could help you find relief, contact REHABILITY today.
What is MicroVas?
MicroVas is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive vascular treatment system that delivers electromagnetic energy to targeted areas of the body. After years of research, this technology was originally used to treat Navy SEAL divers for hypothermia. It has since been engineered as a ground-breaking innovation with the ability to address the root cause of neuropathy, often a lack of nerve fiber circulation in the injured area.
The powerful, deeply penetrating waveform of MicroVas causes blood to pump and circulate much more efficiently by significantly raising tissue oxygen levels. Studies have demonstrated that MicroVas increases the tissue oxygen supply within minutes of initiating treatment. In contrast to other technologies available, this process even results in new capillary formation, laying the groundwork for new tissue growth and repair while accelerating the healing process.
How will MicroVas benefit me?
MicroVas also accelerates lymphatic drainage as much as ten-to-thirty-fold, notably reducing swelling and stimulating the body’s immune response. Its therapeutic effects are often dramatic and long-lasting, and our unique approach of implementation is designed to help you achieve optimal results for long-term relief. Some common conditions that lead to poor circulation and the need for MicroVas treatments include:
- Diabetes
- Smokin.
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyles
- Genetics
MicroVas Therapy can also be used to treat:
Peripheral Neuropathy
This is a form of nerve damage that can result in pain or a loss of sensation in the lower limbs. MicroVas can be used to regenerate your nerve tissues and return your limb(s) to normal function.
Diabetic wounds
With diabetes, you can sometimes develop ulcers that don’t heal from traditional treatments, such as ointment and bandages. MicroVas Therapy can help prevent tissue death in diabetic wounds, that could otherwise result in infection, or in severe cases, even amputation.
Sports injuries
A sports injury, such as a fracture, can also be treated through MicroVas Therapy. MicroVas stimulates bones to resorb damaged tissue and enhance the body’s natural healing process.
Is MicroVas right for me?
You may be wondering, “How do I know if I have poor circulation? How can I tell if MicroVas is right for me?” Before we can determine if you are a strong candidate for MicroVas treatments, we must first examine your symptoms. If you have poor circulation, you may experience:
- swelling in the legs
- wounds that won’t heal
- frequent headaches
- cold feet
- numbness/cramping in feet
One of our Freehold physical therapists will also perform a physical evaluation, as well as an analysis of medical history, in order to determine if MicroVas Therapy is the best course of treatment for you. From there, a treatment plan will be created to fit your personal needs.
