In our office, we use Power Plates in tandem with Chiropractic care to promote strength and stability of your spine and nervous system with mirror image posture setups. This will strengthen the muscles that surround the spine, hips, pelvis, legs, feet and ankles, all the way up to the base of your skull in order to strengthen the paraspinal muscles—“the armor surrounding your spine.” This will enhance your spinal adjustments and spinal correction, therefore reversing bad posture patterns that cause spinal decay, weakness, pain and organ disfunction.
The other benefits of Power Plates include weight loss, increased flexibility and mobility, decrease pain, increase bone density, increase of growth hormone for muscles strength and cell regeneration, decrease in cortisol (stress hormones and belly fat), balance neurotransmitters to enhance mood, memory, and attention, and enhance balance, proprioception and coordination, preventing falls and injuries.
A 2010 study conducted by the University of Antwerp aimed to investigate the impact of whole body vibration (WBV) combined with caloric restriction on weight, body composition, and metabolic risk factors in overweight and obese adults. The results revealed that incorporating WBV along with a hypocaloric diet not only helped maintain weight loss but also contributed to a greater reduction in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), the fat that surrounds and accumulates within internal organs.
