| What
is MicroVas Therapy? |
| MicroVas
therapy is the most advanced form of ionic impulse therapy on
the market today. Unlike other forms of electrical stimulation
which penetrate only a fraction of an inch and have both positive
and negative electrodes on the same surface, MicroVas therapy
treatments pass completely through the limb or body area under
treatment. The emitter pads are always 180 degrees from each
other and are usually placed in multiples to treat an entire
limb or body area. The emitter pads reverse polarity prior to
each impulse resulting in an alternating directional pulse.
This provides unrivaled tissue penetration especially in the
extremities. |

| How
does Microvas Therapy Work |
|
By using
a digital current source to stimulate neuromuscular contractions
that drive the venous muscle pumps, MicroVas therapy improves
blood flow and tissue oxygenation, which in turn helps stimulate
angiogenesis (a healing and rebuilding mechanism) within the
body. MicroVas stimulates nerves, muscles and all 3 branches
of circulation (arterial, venous & lymphatic).

|
|
| Is
MicroVas Therapy New? |
|
The technology
was developed between 1988 – 1989 by US military laboratories
to treat hypothermia in Navy Seals. As its use expanded, the
health benefits of MicroVas therapy became applicable to an
ever expanding list of indications.

| What
are the health benefits of MicroVas Therapy? |
1.
Increased Circulation: MicroVascular therapy immediately
and dramatically increases blood flow which perfuses the capillary
beds and elevates tissue oxygenation, aids in fibroblast proliferation
and collagen formation, upregulates platelet derived growth
factors and boosts transcapillary exchange of nutrients.
2. Involuntary Exercise: Retrains and rebuilds muscle,
aids in restoring flexion, range of motion and strength. Elevates
metabolism and production of local metabolites.
3. Lymphatic Drainage: Boosts lymphatic drainage from
10-fold to 30-fold, which relieves swelling and inflammation,
decompresses nerves in constricted spaces and boosts the body's
immune responses.
4. Pain Management: Palliative effects of MicroVas therapy
include the blocking of neurological transmission of pain signals
and stimulation of endorphins |

| How
is MicroVas administered? |
| Each
MicroVas treatment lasts 45 minutes and is administered twice
weekly in 4 week intervals. After each 4 week interval, Dr.
Sol will evaluate your response to therapy. |
