APS Therapy
The clinic also offers the services of an APS therapy machine.
APS is used to alleviate the pain of arthritis, gout, osteoporosis,
fibrosis, sports injuries, back pain and other numerous ailments
including cancer pain.
The APS machine works by stimulating the body's natural nerve
impulses, these nerves are called Action Potentials and are
the nerves responsible for healing the body where pain occurs.
By enhancing these nerves the body can be healed more quickly.
The stimulation of these Action Potentials allows for pain
relief and the breakdown of inflammation which helps to increase
the mobility of the joints improve blood circulation and control
pain. The machine also helps to limit tissue damage and scaring
when used on an injury.
The APS machine is also used to help stimulate the circulation
of diabetic amputees who face the risk of further amputation
due to poor circulation in the lower limbs; to try and alleviate
the shoulder pain of stroke patients and to reduce pain caused
by knee and hip replacements. Sufferers of arthritis are another
group treated.
