Viva Care Medical Group Enters into supply partnership with DR-HO’S

Viva Care Medical Group will be entering into a supply partnership with DR-HO’S, the makers of innovative combination transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) devices which have been clinically proven to relieve pain, relax muscle spasms and improve muscle oxygenation.

TENS has long been established as a viable solution to help patients relieve their pain without the use of opioids. When you refer a pain patient to a physiotherapist, it is almost certain that they will receive treatment with these devices.

Based on his over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr Micheal Ho has developed units which integrate three technologies, TENS, EMS and the patented Auto-modulating Pain Relieving waves or AMP. The combination of these three technologies is what differentiates DR-HO’S versus other TENS units.

With research showing the efficacy of their units for pain and improving circulation (Kavcic et. al. Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain, Vol. 13 (2) 2005), their devices have been referred to as “The next generation in electrotherapy”.

These devices provide you with a drug-free tool to help your patients treat their pain between visits to one of our clinics.
With regards to private insurance coverage, if the patient has private insurance coverage, these devices are typically covered from 80-100% with a prescription.

Educational sessions are being scheduled to provide you with more of a background on the devices and where they can best be of help to your patients.
