Founded in 1996, the DAVITA ® company has spent the past 15+ years developing a line of alternative medical products the health care community is proud to manufacture and distribute. DAVITA ® specializes in the creation of light therapy products used to create Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a debilitating condition that affects millions around the world.

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder?

Seasonal Affective Disorder is also referred to as winter depression. During the winter months, the lack of sunshine and light can lead to a change in your body's hormonal balance. As a result, we begin to feel depressed, tired, and unmotivated. These feelings tend to lead to a withdraw from normal activities, weight gain, and emotional uncertainty.

How DAVITA ® Helps

DAVITA ® aims to help those suffering from SAD by creating a line of light therapy devices. Light therapy is used to replace the light we lack during the winter months. Those who spend time in front of light devices each day tend to find their hormones less imbalanced, leading to a relief of the symptoms of depression caused by SAD. Many sufferers see a huge change in their symptoms after a mere two weeks of treatment.

DAVITA ® and Electronic Stimulation

Light therapy isn't this company's only specialty. DAVITA ® has also created a distinct line of electric stimulation devices (also known as TENS or EMS) to help in the treatment of pain. TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is often used to treat the pain associated with headaches, backaches, joint disorders, arthritis, and injuries. The nerve fibers are stimulated with gentle pulses that slow the pain signals sent from your nerves to your brain.

EMS, or electrical muscle stimulation, is more often used in sports. This type of electrical stimulation is great for regenerating muscle fibers, warming up muscles, relaxation, and even preparing for endurance events. It can also be used to treat joint agility, rheumatic disorders, and acute aches. Those suffering from sports-related injuries often find that EMS shortens their rehab time.

DAVITA ® for Life

The products designed by DAVITA ® have been used to treat a wide variety of disorders aside from SAD. They've been used to aid in the treatment of eating disorders, non-seasonal affective disorder, premenstrual syndrome, sleep disorders, and more. Research studies continue to uncover the ways these incredible products can improve the life of those who use them and we're excited to include DAVITA ® products in our offerings to our customers.
