What is a Bone Stimulator?

A Bone Stimulator is a non-invasive device designed to promote the healing of fractures by emitting low-level ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves directly to the fracture site. This technology stimulates bone growth and repair without the need for surgical intervention.

What types of fractures can benefit from Bone Stimulator treatment?

Stress fractures
Non-union fractures (where the bone fails to heal after several months)
Delayed union fractures (where the healing process is slower than expected)
Certain acute fractures as adjunct therapy

Bone Stimulator Treatment FAQ

A Bone Stimulator works by emitting low-level ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves directly to the fracture site. These waves stimulate osteogenic activity, which is crucial for bone growth and repair. Additionally, the device helps increase blood flow to the area, thereby enhancing the body’s natural healing process and promoting faster recovery of the fractured bone.

During Bone Stimulator treatment, you can expect daily sessions that last approximately 20-30 minutes. The application is painless, with the device placed directly over the skin or cast covering the fracture site. There is no downtime associated with this treatment, allowing you to continue with your normal daily activities. The total duration of treatment varies depending on the fracture’s severity and the healing response.

The use of a Bone Stimulator for fracture care offers several benefits, including serving as a non-invasive alternative to surgery. It reduces the need for long-term medication and has been shown to shorten the overall healing time for fractures. Additionally, this treatment method carries a low risk of complications, making it a safe option for accelerating bone repair.

Consider seeing a podiatrist for Bone Stimulator treatment if you are experiencing slow healing after a fracture, have been diagnosed with a non-union or delayed union fracture, or are seeking a non-surgical treatment option to enhance fracture care. A podiatrist can evaluate your specific situation and determine if bone stimulation therapy is an appropriate and effective option for your fracture healing process.
