For some type bone crush injuries there are severe problems getting the bones to reunionize.   It could be a crush and the actual bone was fragmented so there is no natural union.  In those extremes the orthopedic physician often prescribes a “bone stimulator” to avoid amputation.  In recent history there is an ever increasing use of electrotherapy devices to assist the body in healing all fractures.   In the case of cervical vertebra breaks it is considered defensive medicine to move the process along quicker so as to avoid new and potentially paralyzing injuries.

Cost of a bone stimulator is a problem however it is felt the process of unionization is more dependent on the polarity ( negative/positive) charges than device specific “bone machines”.  The process of bone healing can possibly be done by a number of less expensive devices with the same results.   Read more here on natural healing and use of electrotherapy devices……
