Performance Rehabilitation & Sports Injury Center

MicroVas Somerset County, New Jersey

If you are suffering from Neuropathy, then Performance Rehabilitation in Somerset County, New Jersey can help you. Neuropathy is a condition where pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, and muscle weakness occur in the extremities. Broadly defined, neuropathy is an abnormal functioning of the nerves. This condition affects over two million Americans. Until recently, there has been little treatment available to patients. Now, there is an alternative/adjunctive treatment to medication, which has a 90% success rate in treating patients for pain stemming from neuropathy.

This new treatment is the MicroVas treatment system, a non-invasive method for peripheral and diabetic neuropathies, which helps to restore sensation to the extremities and alleviate pain. MicroVas works to accommodate patients who do not want to resort to taking a cocktail of medications or undergoing treatments which have been unsuccessful in actually healing the neuropathy. MicroVas rapidly accelerates the rate of healing in the areas applied by promoting and stimulating angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels), increasing blood flow and tissue oxygenation. All of which promote the body's natural healing process. The body has the ability to heal, but it needs the help that MicroVas provides.

MicroVas works to simulate intense aerobic exercise in the muscles, by contracting and releasing muscles. The electrical waveform directly depolarizes the muscle cells, which causes the contractions. During this process, oxygen levels rise in the tissues due to increased blood flow. Also, endorphins are released in the spinal cord which promotes a sense of well being while exercising, and later causes the release of the Human Growth Hormone during sleep. HGH works to accelerate healing and build tissue in the body. As a result, the muscles around the issue in question are conditioned, as a forty-five minute treatment on the MicroVas is the same conditioning effect as walking three miles. Since MicroVas mimics exercise, the patient receives all of the positive effects of exercise through this treatment, the healing effects of muscle and tissue building will ensue.
