VForce Whole Body Vibration Therapy in Madison, WI

A rehabilitation technology designed to support balance, muscle strengthening, flexibility, range of motion, and pain relief.

VForce is a whole body vibration therapy device used at Midwest Spine & Nerve Center in Madison, WI as part of customized rehabilitation and wellness programs. Whole body vibration therapy may help stimulate muscle activity, support balance, improve proprioception, relax muscle spasms, and assist with functional rehabilitation.

Because balance, coordination, strength, and mobility are closely connected, VForce may be used alongside chiropractic care, physiotherapy, laser therapy, H-Wave therapy, spinal decompression, knee rehabilitation, and corrective exercise when appropriate.

VForce Vibration Parameters

VForce is designed with a dual motor system that limits the shearing effect of movement in the horizontal planes while maintaining optimal movement in the vertical plane. This design makes it useful for many muscle groups and rehabilitation applications.

To achieve optimal results with vibration therapy, two variables must be considered:

Amplitude – Vibration devices produce vibration in three different directions: front and back, sideways, and up and down. The most effective platforms produce sufficient vertical vibration while limiting excessive vibration in the horizontal plane. Vertical amplitude helps create loading on the muscular and skeletal systems.

Frequency – Frequency is measured in hertz. The acceleration forces created by vibration cause muscles to contract. Due to this involuntary muscle contraction, more muscle fibers may be recruited than in voluntary movement alone. These rapid contractions may also support circulation and lymphatic drainage.

How VForce Vibration Therapy May Help

Vibration therapy may be used as part of a conservative rehabilitation program to help improve movement, flexibility, balance, strength, and comfort. It may be especially useful when patients need a low-impact way to activate muscles and improve neuromuscular control.
