pacemaker and vibration therapy

Hi everyone. I have had my pace maker for one and a half years now. My problem is that I developed neuropathy while I was in the hospital. Can I receive vibration therapy with my pace maker?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I would have the therapist call your cardiologist and/or manufacturer.

Know that vibrations may set off your rate response and raise your rate, mistakenly thinking you are working out. It's harmless, but will feel weird if you aren't expecting it. 

 

You know you're wired when...

You know the difference between hardware and software.

I'm 43 and have had my pacemaker four weeks today. I'm looking forward to living another 50 years and this marvelous device inside me will help me do that.
