How Do Bone Growth Machines Work?

bonegrowthstimulatorsBone Growth Stimulators

Historically bone growth stimulator machines were used when bones were not healing and electrotherapy was applied to make the bones heal, or unionize.  Today it is becoming standard practice to use bone growth machines in routine bone fractures.   The reason is we want to decrease the time to heal, decrease chances of new injury and to save money by having less down time due to the fracture.

ACL Tens Electrode Placement Guidelines

     Often a tens machine or preferably an Interferential combination tens machine is used for control of post operative pain, edema reduction and faster healing times after acl reconstruction surgery.

This article explains the logic of where to put the reusable electrodes and why.  Read more here on choosing tens machine electrode placements…….

Buy Portable Therapeutic Ultrasound Machine For Home Use

Portable Therapeutic Ultrasound MachineHome Portable Therapeutic Ultrasound Machine

    For practically the cost of 1 or 2 therapeutic ultrasound treatments in a clinic one can own a portable ultrasound machine.  Most injuries require single ultrasonic frequencies and a simple, inexpensive unit can be bought and used as needed as frequently as necessary.

The portable therapeutic ultrasound machines last for years so new injuries by family members can be treated when ultrasound is indicated.   See more here:…..

Rent Professional Therapeutic Ultrasound Machine 

Therapeutic ultrasound is often used to soften scar tissue and other connective tissue disorders.   The actual therapy session may last only 10 – 15 minutes daily,  but the process of going to a clinic and waiting, including travel time, is measured in hours in missed time.   If treatments involve missing work time, without pay, the true costs are much higher.

The duration of the total treatments may be 1 – 8 weeks however the insurance company may cover only a set number of ultrasound treatments.   It is in these situations it makes more sense financially and therapeutically to buy or rent a personal ultrasound machine.

In most cases the rental cost of an ultrasound machine for one month is less than the cost of one visit to the clinic.   During the month the treatments can be daily, or more often if indicated.   For tissue softening the availability of a personal unit should decrease the treatment times which also saves money.   To rent a professional clinical unit is only $135 per month.  Learn more here…

Interferential therapy is the electrotherapy that is used for pain relief in hospitals and clinics the most around the world.  It’s the clinically most proven form of pain relief therapy used by Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Pain Physicians and Physical Medicine specialists.

   In January 2010 the Infrex Plus Portable Interferential/Tens combination unit was introduced.  Now patients can self treat at home and not have to go to a clinic for therapy.  By treating prior to the onset of pain the patient often prevents the occurrence of pain.     It’s a breakthrough technology for the control of pain and for use during rehabilitation following injury or accident.

Don’t take our word for it though, try it yourself, free to see if it works for you.   Click here to get an Infrex to try for you……

The Differences In Tens Therapy and Interferential Therapy

Carryover Pain Relief

    A major difference in using a tens machine versus an Infrex interferential machine is what is referred to as “residual” or “carryover pain relief”.

Simply stated it’s if you turn off a tens machine the pain returns, however after a 15 – 45 minute interferential treatment the pain does not come back.   The carryover pain relief time period usually extends over time and most Infrex patients end up only needing to take a treatment weekly, or monthly.   For more information watch this video on carryover pain relief……

Succinate Dehydrogenase Enzyme and Cancer Prevention

SDH & Cellular Energy Cycle

Succinate Dehydrogenase Enzyme (SDH) has always been part of what is called the “Kreb’s Cycle” which is the manner in which cells create energy manufacturing ATP- learn more here.   SDH is the sole enzyme created inside the mitochondria cell wall and apparently that is of some significance although as of now, not sure why.

   What has sparked interest in this enzyme is by using Infrex Biowave type interferential electrotherapy we see a rapid increase in healing of soft tissues compared to what is seen by allowing the natural healing process to complete.   The rapid heal allows many people to avoid costly and deadly periods of time of inactivity and possible future complications.  SDH production using the Biowave current appears to be part of the reason for the positive results.

In exploring the SDH enzyme the new emerging concern is it appears a healthy amount of SDH in the body may inhibit the organic chemistry process leading to the start of different forms of cancer. This is sparking much interest because now there may be a way to prevent cancer, not treat it.  See video here on treating glioblastoma and lung cancer with electrotherapy field.

Below are some of the diseases that are associated with a lack of SDH.

Safe Ultraviolet C Range Kills All Known Germs & Pathogens In Wounds & Skin

Ultraviolet C Range Bacerial Lamp

 

Portable V-254 Wound & Dermatological Lamp

UVC was the #1 therapy of choice for killing all types of germs, molds, spores, bacteria, viruses on people prior to the onset of Penicillin.   To date there is no known pathogen in the world that has developed an immunity to UVC light, unlike the plethora of germs that now resist our best drugs.

   Ultraviolet C range even kills MRSA & VRE.   Recent studies also show the V-254 Wound Lamp actually kills the resistant strains of MRSE and VRE faster than the non resistant strains!!

The V-254 lamp can also be used for systemic infections, infections that are throughout and inside the body.  For a video explaining ultraviolet light and the V-254 wound lamp click here….
