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.
