Bone Stimulator

Doesn’t that sound like something out of the Twilight Zone?  On to the next level of recovery….growing my bones?  This is a whole new world, one I didn’t realize existed, but apparently you can increase your bone strength and repair by using a bone stimulator.  This I had to see!

It was delivered to me in a small box with a demonstration on how to use it.  Once a day, at the same time or thereabouts, I was to use the equipment to assist my bones in healing more thoroughly.  The bone graft and the bone fusion had healed in my foot, but they were not as strong as the doctor would like to see them be at this point in my post op care.

This gadget straps to your foot and its an ultrasound technology.  So, just like the ultrasound you get in the doctor’s office, you put a glob of the jell they use to help with conduction between the skin and the ultrasound wave that is transmitted by the machine.  For 30 minutes I sit with the thing strapped to my foot for the process to take place.

First time I tried it, I thought, hmmm how could this possibly work?  I had nothing to lose, and plenty of down time on my hands so what the heck let’s give it a try!
