Bone fractures are a common injury, especially in elderly people, athletes and those involved in high-impact incidents. Two major bones in the lower leg, the tibia and fibula, are among the most seriously fractured bones in the human body. Such injuries cause excruciating pain, edema and restricted movement. Traditionally, immobilization—usually with bracing or by casting—is required to allow the bones to heal adequately over approximately six to eight weeks.
The main goals of traditional treatments are immobilization and pain management to promote the healing of bones. Pain management is often supported by opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and physical therapy sessions. But the length of time it takes for bones to repair themselves completely can sometimes result in an ongoing discomfort and lower quality of life, and, in certain cases, individuals may even require surgical intervention.
The Case: A Remarkable Recovery from Fracture
A New York-based practitioner with extensive experience recently shared a case from her practice involving a client who sustained a major tibia and fibula fracture. These types of injuries usually require a long healing period, which includes weeks in a cast and then physical therapy to regain strength and movement.
Only four days after the cast was put on, Equiscope protocols were started. By Day 6, the client had already had two Equiscope sessions, whereas traditional treatment would have required at least six weeks of immobilization before any activity. He continued to have some discomfort, but recovery was far faster than expected. On Day 8, following a medical evaluation and an X-ray, it was found that the fractures were almost healed, which was unexpected considering the normal recovery period for these types of injuries.
Equiscope vs. Traditional Methods
There is a big difference between Equiscope therapy and traditional methods for bone healing. Traditional methods mostly concentrate on immobilization, allowing the body to gradually heal the fractured bones on its own. This method frequently results in persistent discomfort and edema, and, in addition, clients usually depend on drugs—such as NSAIDs and opioids—to manage their pain which can have unfavorable side effects, including nausea, drowsiness and intolerance.
Equiscope therapy, on the other hand, targets damaged tissue by utilizing microcurrent with two-way biofeedback. By regulating the cell’s electrical activity, inflammation is reduced, promoting healthier tissues which support the body’s natural healing processes—exceeding what would be achieved by the traditional method (immobilization) alone.
A Revolutionary Approach to Recovery
The case mentioned above is an excellent example of how Equiscope protocols may influence how quickly people recover from fractures and other injuries. Even though additional sessions are needed to completely address the soft tissue, tendon and ligament issues, the improvement that has been done so far is remarkable.
Equiscope may be the solution if you or someone you know is struggling with a recent injury or a slow road to recovery. This revolutionary method helps individuals restore their mobility and get back to their regular activities more quickly by providing a quicker and non-invasive approach to rehabilitation.
