Dear Yvonne and William:

I’ve been a satisfied owner of both the new clinical HIVAMAT Evident, as well as the HIVAMAT Personal for the last 5 years. I own and direct a busy Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic. Our HIVAMAT therapy has become a mainstay of treatment for our Physical Therapist, as well as myself. Patients actively seek out the HIVAMAT treatment, and many have said they prefer it over other modalities including soft tissue massage and Electric Muscle Stimulation. Our patients have provided us with feedback that the HIVAMAT provides better and more longer lasting results. Our Physical Therapist regularly uses the system for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. He has garnered a reputation of healing in our community as a result. I use the system regularly and implement it in a number of ways.

As an Osteopathic physician, I have found that the HIVAMAT treatment enhances the post Osteopathic Manipulation and hastens the healing process as it is such an effective lymphatic stimulator. It helps patients that have fibromyalgia, chronic myofascial syndrome, and even those that have degenerative joint disease. It also greatly helps those that have sustained whiplash injuries and athletic related injures as well. I have learned that while I am interacting with patients, I can apply the HIVAMAT. This increases the patients relaxation, and improves our communication as well.

I also have been well reimbursed for the use of the HIVAMAT, and find that code 97140 (15 minute per unit) works well for reimbursement. I have found that most insurance companies recognize this code and pay without question. Our systems have paid for themselves many times over.

I would not hesitate to recommend the HIVAMAT to any physician that works with MSK injuries, as well as implementing it with patients that have acute and chronic pain. This system has differentiated my clinic offerings and has truly helped many hundred patients.

Thank you for introducing me to this awesome intervention, and my patients also thank you!

More Information about DEEP OSCILLATION® (HIVAMAT in United States)

 

DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy can be used with gloved hands to another person or applicators, applicators also enable self-management of sporting and occupational injuries, early post operatively for pain, swelling and bruising, improving mobility and promoting a dynamic wound healing. For lymphoedema and lipoedema (where appropriate), for acute and chronic scar tissue and hardened fibrosis.

  • DEEP OSCILLATION® gets to the core of the problem, non invasively and gently, saving the clinicians hands
  • Permeating an 8cm tissue depth - see diagram
  • Intermittent, patented, electrostatic, electromechanical therapy (not electrical stimulation)
  • Safe over implanted pins and plates
  • No heat

layers

DEEP OSCILLATION®, developed by Physiomed Elektromedizin in Germany is an internationally patented therapeutic design which utilizes the forces of pulsed electrostatic attraction and friction to provoke oscillations, which act deeply on the tissues of the body from the epidermis down through the conjunctive and adipose layers and into the muscles. Hernandez Tapanes et al (2010) were able to prove, by diagnostic ultrasound, penetration of the oscillations up to an 8cm depth (see diagram). Observed physiological effects of the therapy include oedema resorption - Jahr S Et Al (2008) The therapy also limits the production of inflammatory mediators, especially during the treatment for chronic pain and more so during the treatment of fibromyalgia - Janik, H. et al (2010) for strengthening of the cutaneous tissues - Korkina Et Al (2007), for stimulation of the wound healing process Mikhalchik E, Et Al (2005), Trybulski R (2008).
