Vibroacoustic Therapy
Based on ancient sound healing traditions and modern scientific research, VAT combines sounds and vibrations to promote physical and emotional wellbeing. The therapy’s neurological effects operate through multiple pathways, including brainwave entrainment and mechanoreceptor stimulation. For example, 40 Hz vibrational therapies have been shown to improve tremor and dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease patients. Its autonomic […]
Fetal Vibroacoustic Stimulation
Fetal vibroacoustic stimulation is a popular test used during tests of fetal well being such as a non-stress test. It is hoped that it will reduce the number of false positive cardiotocography readings without affecting their predictive reliability. Two trials (Marden 1997; Sood 2007) compared fetal vibroacoustic stimulation with mock stimulation. The method of allocation […]
Long-Term Exposure to Low Frequency Noise Induces Vibroacoustic Disease
Long-term exposure to LFN (500 Hz, including infrasound) has been shown to produce vibroacoustic disease, a systemic pathology that affects many organs and systems of the body. LFN-induced fibrosis has been documented in human autopsies and confirmed in rodent models. It is hypothesized that biotensegrity structures may help explain these tissue and cellular responses to […]
Vibroacoustic Disease and Wind Turbine Syndrome
Causes Biological tissue reacts differently when exposed for long periods to low frequency noise (LFN). Wind Turbine Syndrome (WTS), which involves imbalance organs of the vestibular system, can manifest with symptoms including disturbed sleep, dizziness, tinnitus and sensation of quivering or vibration; nervousness; rapid heartbeats; memory loss as well as increased irritability and anger. Vibroacoustic […]
What is Vibroacoustic Therapy?
Sound healing has an extensive history and expanding scientific foundation. Naturopathic practitioners in Arizona can leverage sound therapy into comprehensive treatment protocols as part of their scope of practice. Oscillatory vibrations activate mechanoreceptors to modulate pain pathways, decreasing dependence on pharmaceutical analgesics and leading to greater effectiveness of 40 Hz stimulation as a brainwave entrainment […]
