Bone and soft tissue stimulation is a therapeutic approach designed to accelerate the healing of fractures and soft tissue injuries. This modality uses low-intensity pulsed ultrasound to stimulate cellular activity at the injury site. An example of its application is in the treatment of non-union fractures where conventional healing processes have stalled.
The importance of this therapeutic method lies in its potential to reduce healing time and improve functional outcomes for patients. Benefits include decreased pain, improved range of motion, and a faster return to activity. Historically, the development of ultrasound-based therapies represents a significant advancement in non-invasive treatment options for musculoskeletal conditions.
