"The medical staff of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball
Club would like to express how the DMS has been an intrical part of
our daily sports medicine protocol for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Over the last three (3) years the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club has
had the lowest number of disabled list (DL) days for all Major League
Baseball clubs, and was awarded the Dick Martin award as MLB's "best
medical staff" by Baseball Prospectus for 2005."

What Does the DMS Do?
by Dr. Jake Pivaroff
|
Much
of muscle pain stems from various conditions; strain, lactic acid build
up, scar tissue, etc... The DMS uses percussion, mechanical vibrations
that reach deep into the muscle tissue to stimulate proprioceptive functions.
No other device on the market matches the effectiveness of the DMS.
The DMS provides deep muscle tissue with kinetic forms of percussion
and concussion vibration, which in turn facilitates the patient or athlete
with the benefits of:
-Increased circulation
-Reduced pain
-Faster rehabilitation from injury
-Increased lymphatic flow
-Break up of muscular scar tissue
-Reduced lactic acid build up
-Tissue Regeneration
-Soft & Active tissue release
The DMS also concentrates on general or local muscle spasms. It increases
muscle metabolism and increases the lactic acid cycle to relieve pain.
Deep, rapid, short-duration percussion is the key to the elimination
of pain. The DMS can be used in effective management of acute and chronic
pain, not exclusive to, but including: migraine headaches, sciatica,
TMJ, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis, edema, myofacial
pain and frozen joints.
The Deep Muscle Stimulator is known to increase the circulation of blood
and flow of lymph. The direct mechanical effect of rhythmical pressure
and movement used in DMS can dramatically increase the rate of blood
flow. The stimulation of nerve receptors causes the blood vessels to
dilate, which also facilitates blood flow.
DMS can help loosen contracted, shortened muscles and can stimulate
weak, flaccid muscles. This muscle "balancing" can help posture
and promote more efficient movement. DMS is also being used for Integrated
Manual Therapy and Musculoskeletal Dysfunction.
It is possible to do more exercise and training, which in the long run
strengthens muscle and improves conditioning. DMS also provides a gentle
stretching action to both the muscles and connective tissues that surround
and support the muscles and many other parts of the body, which helps
keep these tissues elastic.
DMS also aids recovery from soft tissue injuries such as sprains and
strains. This is possible because the growth and repair of tissue are
accelerataed by efficient circulation in the injured areas and appropriate
stimulation of the healing tissues.
