10 Feb Improve Your Athletic Performance with Vibration Therapy
Vibration therapy is used by many athletes to help boost their performance, aid in recovery and prevent injury. Vibration therapy increases blood circulation, reduces pain symptoms and helps to loosen up your muscles and joints. Muscle and joints that experience improved range of motion through vibration therapy also result in less tension and inflammation while increasing flexibility and breaking down unwanted scar tissue. Studies have also shown that vibration therapy helps to improve mineral density in the bones helping you increase bone density and strength.

How Vibration Therapy Helps Athletes
Vibration therapy is becoming more and more utilized by athletes to improve their flexibility and muscle performance while also preventing muscle-tendon injuries. The convenience of this approach to physical wellness is another attractive feature. It only takes about 15 minutes for your muscles to benefit from an impressive, zero-impact workout that results in increased strength, stability, and tone. Other results from vibration therapy are increased blood flow and stronger and more flexible joints. Research has also shown that vibration therapy can reduce the production of the stress hormone, cortisol. Other benefits of whole body vibration include:
- Decreased recovery time
- Reduction of injuries and speedier healing from sports related injuries
- Fewer stress fractures
- An increase in vertical jump height and length
- A substantial increase in speed
- A boost in explosive power
- Improved coordination and balance
- Increased stamina
- Greater flexibility and range of movement
- Stimulation of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) production
- Increased Testosterone
- Prevents Lactic acid accumulation
Vibration Therapy for Chronic Pain or Spinal Alignment Challenges
Some athletes are prone to chronic injuries or suffer from spinal alignment issues that can prevent them from performing at the level they desire. Small doses of vibration exercises can relieve tight muscles by shaking out the tension. The treatment is easily combined with other options like massage therapy, stretching, and home exercises. However, if you are pressed for time, you will still see great results after a quick 15 minute session on the vibration platform at our Mile High facility.
Vibration Therapy Right in Our Office
A vibration therapy session occurs right in the comfort of our office with one of our chiropractic physicians. This safe, effective approach to treatment uses a mechanical, vibrating plate (platform) that you stand on. This vibration plate is adjusted to a pre-designated frequency by a trained member of our Mile High Spine & Pain Center team that is programmed by your individual goals and needs. As the machine vibrates, it transmits energy to your body, causing your muscles to contract and relax dozens of times each second–about 30-50 times a second. The motion may cause you to feel like you are exerting yourself, but without bodily stresses one would feel during regular exercises. Vibration exercises are also free of impact stress that is associated with the majority of exercise programs which makes it especially effective for patients with injuries or our more senior patients that may have more conservative needs.
Involve a Professional for Best Results
Effective vibration therapy sessions require the knowledge and experience of a skilled vibration therapy provider. Knowing what frequency and intensity to set your sessions at is not something you just guess at. The vibrations only help if administered for the right period of time. Our professionals at Mile High Spine & Pain Center can ensure you don’t aggravate existing conditions or create new ones by trying to improve your overall health.
