With sensorimotor stimulation towards therapeutic success
NOVAFON sound wave devices are Class 2a medical devices that have been used for more than 30 years in the therapeutic areas of speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, naturopathy and veterinary medicine. Deep vibrotactile stimulation helps to regulate muscle tone, reduce myofascial pain and improve motion sequences. Patients as well as therapists put their trust in the reliable effect and the user friendliness of NOVAFON. Only a few minutes at the start of treatment or in conjunction with an active exercise - a number of clinical studies confirms the added value of local vibration therapy.

Gentle pain reduction with the aid of NOVAFON
Targeted local vibration therapy is used for the effective treatment of pain in the locomotor system. NOVAFON supports its holistic treatment and helps to regulate tonicity and improve motion sequences. The deep vibrations stimulate muscles and nerves gently but effectively. They can thus be used as medical aids in the treatment of a wide range of indications in naturopathy. It often takes only a few minutes at the start of a session to relax the tissue and prepare it for further treatment. Especially the soothing and pain-relieving effect of the NOVAFON sound wave devices makes them indispensable in the treatment of pain in the locomotor system. The treatment is so simple that it can also be applied by patient in their own homes.
How to use the NOVAFON device
Myofascial pain
Inflammations and joints
Trigger and acupressure points
Example: Back pain
Aim: Pain relief and muscle relaxation
In diseases of the locomotor system, vibration therapy is specifically used for pain relief and for achieving an improved mobility range. The pain-relieving effect of vibrations by stimulating the 1a-afferent pathways has already been studied and confirmed many decades ago. For chronic pain of the locomotor system, in particular, significantly better results were achieved compared to drug-based treatments. Because the treatment is gentle and effective, vibration therapy is very well accepted by patients. Over time, it has become an integral part for the treatment of pain in naturopathy.

Example: Epicondylitis
Aim: Pain reduction and improved mobility range
NOVAFON can be used for pain relief in chronic inflammatory process such as epicondylitis or tendinitis. The gentle vibrations cause deep stimulation of the tissue and stimulate the body’s own mechanisms. For joint pain, too, sound wave devices have for years proven successful. Local vibration therapy can also be used in combination with other forms of therapy.

Example: Trigger points
Aim: Muscle tone regulation and pain reduction
In diseases of the locomotor system, vibration therapy is specifically used for pain relief and for achieving an improved mobility range. The main area application for radiating pain is the treatment of trigger points. These trigger points can be effectively treated with the aid of different attachments and the deep effect of the NOVAFON sound wave devices.
