Goals

Incorporating Whole Vibration Into Your Exercise and Rehabilitation Program

• Shortens training time
• Serves as an effective pre-exercise Warm-up
• Increases Flexibility and Strength
• Increases Proprioception and Kinesthetic Awareness
• Promotes Muscle memory
• Promotes Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention
• Is excellent for sports specific Functional Training
• Exercises Fast Twitch and Slow Twitch training
• Adds Faster Recovery and therefore reduces Post-exercise Soreness
• All of the above promote Brain Plasticity

Whole Body Vibration Has Also Shown to do the following:

• Build Bone Density
  Whole Body Vibration has been shown to be effective for people with osteoporosis or osteopenia or for those who have a history of it in their family. It is weight-bearing exercise and more. The increased load and motion causes osteoblastic activity. (The cells that build bone) This is why the space program got involved when WBV first came out – to help maintain astronauts bone and muscle mass while in space for extended periods of time.
• Affect Hormones
  Research by the biomedical and exercise scientist, Carmelo Bosco, has also shown vibration exercise to increase serotonin levels, significantly increase HGH levels and decrease cortisol by up to 30%. This can lead to a dramatic impact on your appetite, addictions, unhealthy cravings, sleep patterns, stress levels, and belly fat areas. It also was shown to increase levels of testosterone up to 7%. Testosterone’s key roles in health and well-being include increased energy, increased production of red blood cells, protection against osteoporosis, and enhanced libido.
• Increase Strength (Especially Stabilizer Muscles)
  Conventional exercise engages around 45% of muscle fibers including mostly the major muscle groups such as your quads, hamstrings, biceps, lats, etc. It is often times difficult to work the other 55% of muscles including the stabilizers. Whole body vibration is aptly named whole body vibration because it causes even the involuntary muscles in your body to contract and has been shown to engage approximately 97% of your muscle fibers. Add that to the fact the WBV causes those muscle fibers to contract over 1500 times per minute and there’s no comparison.
• Help Symptoms of Neuropathy
  Whole body vibration is excellent for people with neuropathy or neuromuscular disorders. 10 minutes in contact with the vibration plate sends approximately 30,000 separate electrical signals to the brain. Train the nerves and increase feeling to them hundreds of times more efficiently than other types of physical therapy.
• Help with Weight Loss
  WBV helps to increase lean muscle mass making the body more fuel efficient by burning more calories throughout the entire day not just during a workout. The more calories the body is able to burn, the higher the potential for dramatic weight loss.

Research on Whole Body Vibration

The Mayo Clinic states that whole body vibration reduces back pain, improves balance and reduces bone loss.¹

Clinical research and studies demonstrate that Whole Body Vibration is helpful and beneficial for the following issues:²

• Osteoporosis and Bone Density
  

  Vibrations cause compression and remodeling of the bone tissue, activating bone building cells while reducing the activity of the cells that break bone down. This will increase bone mineral density over time.

• Neurological Conditions
  

  WBV was found to have has positive effects on postural control, mobility, motor function and strength.³

• Multiple Sclerosis⁴
  

  WBV influences the postural control and mobility in multiple sclerosis’ patients.

• Fibromyalgia⁵
  

  Vibration safely reduces pain and fatigue.

• Parkinson’s Disease⁶
  

  Whole body vibration therapy significantly improves the clinical symptoms of Parkinson’s including loss of gait, tremors and akinesia.

• Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
  

  Increased by 361%; WBV helps to create a more toned, muscular and lean body.

• Cortisol
  

  Stress hormone was impacted by WBV and reduced circulating cortisol levels by 30%.

• Back Pain⁷
  

  Studies show a significant reduction in pain sensation and pain-related disability.⁸

• Metabolism
  

  WBV boosts metabolism helping with weight loss and helpful to people with hypothyroidism.

• Improves Blood Oxygenation & Circulation
  

  The rapid contraction and relaxation of the muscles at 20 to 50 times per second basically works as a pump on the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, increasing the speed of the blood flow through the body.

• Flexibility and Mobility
  

  Researchers found a statistically significant difference in test groups for those utilizing WBV.

• Pain Management
  

  Helpful in pain treatment including those with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.⁹

Billing Codes

Therapy reimbursement codes most commonly used are:

• 97110

  Therapeutic exercises to develop strength and endurance, range of motion and flexibility

• 97112

  Neuromuscular reeducation of movement, balance, coordination, kinesthetic sense, posture, and/or proprioception for sitting and/or standing activities

• 97510

  Therapeutic activities, direct (one-on-one) patient contact by the provider; use of dynamic activities to improve functional performance, each 15 minutes

Chiropractic billing reimbursements for Vibration users:

Disclaimer: Always check with YOUR state insurance and regulatory board billing codes and procedures handbooks as every state is different. These are only possible recommendations.

Integrating Whole Body Vibration into your medical, physical therapy, or chiropractic practice is and easy and effective way to help more patients and add revenue to your practice.

When rehabilitative exercises are performed while weight-bearing on a vibration platform, beneficial effects of either modality are enhanced. Patients heal faster and recover quicker. And since patients are still doing their specific exercises for their condition, now just on a vibrating platform, the codes to use for this service remain the same and are still:

• 97110

  Therapeutic exercises to develop strength and endurance, range of motion and flexibility

• 97112

  Neuromuscular reeducation of movement, balance, coordination, kinesthetic sense, posture, and/or proprioception for sitting and/or standing activities

When a patient is doing his/her rehab exercises while on the vibration therapy in conjunction with Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy(CMT) on any given treatment day, please make sure that your diagnoses reflect the need for CMT as well as exercise.

On the HICFA forms, you must point the spinal diagnosis to the spinal manipulation therapy and then point the exercise portion of your procedural codes to the soft tissue, extremity or injury diagnosis. Only then can the insurance carrier recognize and then reimburse the right $ for each procedure done. Otherwise your charge for the exercise portion will be bundled with the manipulation charge and therefore denied.

“Buying sight unseen from the internet is risky at best. After dealing with two shady website resellers, I was hesitant about contacting another. Zelta and Decompression Experts were wonderful and professional to work with. When I had questions, she made sure I received answers from experts in the field. We received our DOC Decompression Table ahead of schedule and have been more than pleased with it! I would highly recommend Zelta and Decompression Experts”
~ Chad in North Dakota

“I have worked with Zelta for several years now. She is an absolute gem! We purchased a Decompression Table from her two years ago and the install was perfect. She definitely goes above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of from start to finish. If you haven’t worked with Zelta and Decompression Experts, please give her a chance to earn your business, you will not be disappointing. I know when our office expands and needs more equipment Zelta will be our first call. ”
~ Dustin J. Hedstrom, D.C.

“We purchased a DOC Spinal Decompression Table from Decompression Experts for our clinic and started from scratch with Double Your Decompression in house patient marketing. Within the first month we had scheduled twenty new consultations. By month two our table was full every day from twelve to five. We are now going into the third month and have to extend our hours to accommodate all the new patients we have gotten from this program.”
— Florida

The marketing program that I got for free with the table has given me everything I need to be successful at spinal decompression from the very first day I started.”
— Texas

“Decompression Experts sold me a great DOC Cervical and Lumbar combo at the best price I could find. As a bonus for paying for the equipment in advance, I received the marketing package free. I have already filled the first combo up. A few more patients and I will need another table which I will definitely buy from Decompression Experts.”
