LIPUS (fracture & bone stress healing)
Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) is a non-invasive ultrasound technology that is administered directly against the skin
The LIPUS device sends a painless mechanical force through the tissue to stimulate the bone to heal.
The LIPUS device activates cell-reproduction and protein expression and enhances cellular behavior at the fracture or bones stress region.
The LIPUS device provides a 20 minute treatment that has been shown to accelerate the healing of fresh, delayed, non-union fractures, and sites of bone stress, as seen in enthesopathies. This occurs where a ligament or tendon ‘stresses’ the bone at its attachment. Bone stress generally creates an acute reaction that is painful.
LIPUS has proven to heal non-union fractures by 86%*
Studies show that, on average, fresh fractures will heal 38% faster with LIPUS treatment*
