Better circulation and nerve function
When any part of our body becomes damaged from sports injuries, the role of the blood is critical in refreshing the area. Electrotherapy, as accomplished by the H-Wave® device, bolsters blood flow so that more vital nutrients can enter the site and waste can exit efficiently.
In addition to improving circulation, the treatment also helps aggravated nerves stop firing. In these ways, this form of electrotherapy reduces discomfort, enhances the ability to use the muscles, and increases mobility – generally expediting recovery and upgrading the patient’s quality of life.
Simply put, H-Wave is the best method for electrotherapy Atlanta residents will find. Let’s look at a study outlining its benefits and the perspective of a longtime NBA athletic trainer who advocates its use.
Study: Healing and pain relief properties
Landmark research on H-Wave technology, published in the Physician and Sports Medicine Journal, organized the scientific evidence on this impressive medical tool. The primary finding of the study was that the modality both consistently helped injuries to heal and safely delivered pain relief.
The report outlined several previous studies gauging effectiveness of H-Wave electrotherapy. Special focus was given to a series of Wake Forest University animal research projects, designed specifically to evaluate the microvascular impact within striated muscle (presumably skeletal muscle, specifically).
“H-Wave device stimulation resulted in significant arteriolar vasodilation,” Electronic Waveform Lab summarized, “which suggests that this treatment modality is associated with significant increases in striated muscle perfusion.” In other words, this form of electrotherapy widens the vessels, allowing blood to pore through tissue that was damaged in sports injuries.
The researchers continued to use the device for three weeks. They found that the mean enhancement of circulation when they used H-Wave was 247% better than when the leg was unstimulated. Furthermore, the study authors reported that angiogenesis was occurring, which is the creation of new blood vessels and is a sign of healing.
Advocacy: NBA athletic trainer
Several professional sports trainers have gone on record praising H-Wave electrotherapy as a powerful tool for sports medicine. When asked to compare the device to other forms of electrotherapy, LA Lakers head athletic trainer Gary Vitti said, “[N]othing really comes close to the H-Wave across the board. I get the most significant results from it.”
