CVT is a noninvasive therapy that uses cycloidal vibrations to stimulate body cells and tissues, offering pain relief, blood circulation improvement, mobility support and flexibility improvements.
Vibration therapy has proven itself an effective means of speeding wound healing in PIs, VLUs and DFUs by increasing blood flow, relieving pain, reducing exudate output and necrotic tissue removal while increasing nitric oxide expression levels.
Improved Blood Circulation
Cycloidal vibration therapy can be an effective way to increase circulation, relieve pain, and decrease inflammation in injured muscles or joints. This is achieved by increasing the blood flow that results from contraction of muscle cells which helps stimulate and activate them thereby stimulating and activating them further.
Studies have demonstrated that cycloid vibration therapy can increase muscle spindle activity, an integral component of muscular coordination. Furthermore, vibration therapy may help improve posture and range of motion as well as strength within muscles resulting in greater muscular coordination and increased strength overall. Furthermore, vibration therapy stimulates production of osteoblasts–cells responsible for creating bone tissue–which may help protect against osteoporosis as well as bone loss associated with ageing.
Another study showed that vibration therapy applied supinely on the abdomen with the Vitberg+ Rehabilitation Massaging Apparatus (RAM Vitberg+ Base Module + Metabolism Module), can successfully lower both total and LDL cholesterol in people diagnosed with hypercholesterolaemia. For this research project, participants underwent vibration therapy for 21 days.
Researchers conducted an investigation on the effects of cycloidal vibration therapy on skeletal muscles and discovered it could help speed recovery after eccentric exercise, by increasing muscle force, preventing damage to muscles, and decreasing lactic acid concentration levels. They also concluded that this form of treatment proved more successful than standard stretching or massage methods.
Numerous studies have demonstrated how vibration therapy can aid wound healing in difficult-to-treat wounds such as pressure injuries and diabetic foot ulcers by increasing blood flow to the wound site, relieving pain, reducing exudate production and eliminating necrotic tissue formation. One research project used a combination of low frequency/low intensity local vibration therapy treatments to heal pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers and infected ulcers more rapidly by improving circulation to them as well as relieving pain relief, relieving exudate production and necrotic tissue removal.
This scoping review aggregated and evaluated all available research on the effects of vibration therapy in promoting wound healing for hard-to-heal ulcers. According to this analysis, low frequency/low intensity vibration at 47Hz with acceleration rates below 1.78m/s2 appears to be optimal in speeding up wound healing in hard-to-heal conditions.
Reduced Pain
Cycloidal vibration therapy can be used to stimulate the musculoskeletal system and increase circulation, alleviate pain and inflammation while slowing degeneration and protecting against joint damage. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy.
Studies indicate that cycloidal vibration therapy can enhance recovery from eccentric muscle action-induced knee extensor muscle damage more efficiently than stretching and massage treatments. It has even proven superior than both.
A pilot study was conducted using a Vitberg medical device model VRT-WOC series with variable frequency, low amplitude, and acceleration of 1.338g (gravitational acceleration). Thirty two participants were randomly allocated to either receive oscillatory cycloidal vibration or placebo therapy and underwent fifteen sessions over a three week period; changes were measured for pain, range of motion, and function changes.
NHC Cyclo-Therapy three dimensional tissue massage provides relief for pain caused by arthritic conditions such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis by blocking pain signals, increasing blood flow, decreasing inflammation, and improving flexibility.
Reduced Inflammation
Cycoidal vibration is an innovative three-dimensional mechanical technique which utilizes sinusoidal electromechanical oscillations to create a whirlpool effect that resonates throughout all directions, penetrating soft tissue without any sudden movements and minimal pain.
CVT technology has been scientifically demonstrated to accelerate tissue healing, reduce inflammation and cortisol levels, enhance lymphatic drainage and relieve pain in dogs suffering from arthritis or hip dysplasia. Although initially the technology seems oddly therapeutic for these conditions, I have witnessed it work wonders with many clients’ animals who require regular treatments with CVT for arthritis or hip dysplasia.
Dog Cloud is proud to bring this revolutionary technology from human hospitals, aged care facilities and elite sport facilities worldwide right into your pet’s living space – with four fully automated sessions each day for your pups or kits and payment plans starting from $89/month and our 60-day money back guarantee!
Increased Mobility
Cycloid vibration therapy (CVT) is a three-dimensional mechanical technique using sinusoidal electromechanical oscillators. Vibration in all directions at very low acceleration rates provides maximum benefits without harmful side effects, making CVT products manufactured at our UK facility available to medical and physical therapy professionals to treat their patients effectively. All human CVT products make medical claims and comply with European medical device quality standards to ensure safety, reliability and efficacy.
CVT increases flexibility and mobility by activating muscle spindles. Muscle spindles are tiny sensor-like receptors found on muscles that send signals from the brain telling it when to stretch or contract, essential for balance, movement, and muscle strength. Studies indicate vibration stimulation of these receptors activates our natural response to muscle contraction resulting in improved range of motion and mobility as well as helping heal faster from injuries sustained due to vibration stimulation. This helps ensure greater range of motion for improved range of motion as well as faster healing from injuries sustained while helping heal our bodies more quickly from injuries sustained through faster healing processes than before!
Whole-body vibration therapy involves standing or sitting on a vibrating platform that vibrates at various speeds to activate both nervous and muscular systems, while local vibration therapy applies the vibrations directly to an affected joint or muscle. According to a 2019 study, whole-body vibration therapy was found to effectively alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia as well as improving balance and gait among those suffering from sarcopenia – age-related loss of muscle mass.
Researchers conducted a feasibility study in 2024 which demonstrated that combining whole-body CVT treatments with physiotherapy treatments proved more successful in alleviating intermittent claudication (pain while walking). Researchers believe this may have been achieved because combined therapies enhanced effectiveness by improving circulation.
The Cycloid Vibration System is an effective yet gentle treatment option for horses, dogs, cats, pigs, goats, camels, sheep cattle and even birds. Humans have been using CVT therapy since 1949 when Owen K Murphy first patented it in America. Niagara Medical Therapy produces CVT equipment including Equssage CVT equipment which have all been registered on Australia’s Register of Therapeutic Goods as Class IIa Medical Devices.
