In only 4 months, Aline Colbert, a patient of Shelby Township chiropractor Dr. Karl Johnson, has reversed her osteoporosis condition to osteopoenia by using Whole Body Advanced Vibration Exercise [WAVE]. In those 4 months, Miss Colbert has increased her bone density 1.9% by using WAVE. “After consulting with Dr. Johnson about my condition, he informed me of the benefits of Whole Body Advanced Vibration Exercise (WAVE) in building bone density. I started WAVE therapies in November and used the machine three times a week for 4 months. My follow-up bone scan showed an increase of 1.9% bone density in the spine! This is now just osteopoenia, and not osteoporosis”
WAVE is a vibrating platform that allows for muscles to contract comfortably by the expulsion of gentle vibrations sent throughout the whole body which helps build muscle strength and, in turn, increases bone density. “Vibration exercise has allowed me to treat the whole person. We all know that intense weight training has a positive effect on bone density, but most of our patients may not be able to, or are unwilling to do it. Vibration exercise only takes 15 minutes, three times per week, and has allowed me to provide comparable exercise effects on my patients”, said Dr. Johnson.
Other WAVE advantages include:
- Better balance and coordination by exciting reflexes in joints
- Reduction of joint pain by stretching the joints which raises blood flow to the area
- A firming of connective and muscle tissue
- Toxins are forced out of muscle cells
- Better blood circulation throughout body
