Beyond sports and fitness, whole-body vibration has a role in physical therapy, chiropractic care, and pain management, as well. Some research indicates that whole-body vibration administered correctly and under trained medical supervision can help patients:
- Reduce Back Pain

What Are the Benefits of Whole-Body Vibration Therapy?
For postmenopausal woman and people suffering from osteoporosis, whole-body vibration has been shown to help increase bone density. Whole-body vibration also helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and varicose veins.
Whole-body vibration will also help people with poor flexibility, especially for those who have tight muscles or who experienced a car accident and suffer from a loss of range of motion. For people with injuries, whole-body vibration will enhance rehabilitation by increasing blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body. If this describes you, then we recommend you take a few minutes to learn more about therapy options for accident-related injuries on our Auto Accident Treatment page.
Most of our patients who have heard of whole-body vibration know of this treatment in terms of a fitness or weight loss aid. It, as a fitness routine, does help improve muscle strength by contracting the muscles 20 to 50 times per second, which in turn will also give positive cardio effects. Vibration exercise in conjunction with a healthy diet will aid in accelerating weight loss, leads to increases in energy, improves relaxation, and enhances wellness and detoxification.
