    Bone Stimulator - Ultrasound Healing System

    i have one of these things and it kicked ass. if anyone wants it i can sell it for cheap to a fellow mag. just trying to liquidate some stuff to pay rent. this thing is pretty bad ass and speeds up the healing process big time and when i dont end up selling it im fine with holding onto it for my next spell of bad luck

    and even if you dont want to buy this thing from me, ask your doctor to get you one, my inusrance covered it

    there is no clinical proof that this does anything but if your insurance pays for placebos

    Here's some reading material.

    I have the same exogen unit. Its hard to say what works when you can't actually see the bone healing together. My Dr. (and good friend) highly recommended it. My hip has healed well. Hard to say how it would have healed without it.

    ^^^ This is not true. Bone stimulators are a reasonable treatment choice for delayed or non-unions. I would not recommend one for initial treatment.

    Bumping this...not for bone, but for muscle massage. Does anybody have a home unit that they use?

    I have one my gf gave me. Called an Infratonic 8000. It sends out different wavelengths in random order.
    I'm not sure if I gain anything from it but I've been stiff enough lately that I've been thinking about spending some time with it to see if it helps

    If you’re stiff enough spending some time with your GF may give you the release you’re after to return to a flaccid state.

    I spoke with my PT and he seemed to think that it would not be beneficial for me. He said to get a massage or buy a self-massaging deal for shoulders/back.

    Absolutely. She has good hands, too. As a healer, that is.
