Suffering with a broken or fractured bone?

A broken or fractured bone is a relatively common injury, often caused by twisting an ankle, a fall, or a sporting accident. 

 

It may be treated with a cast or surgery and usually takes between six and 12 weeks to heal. 

 

If you injure yourself, the following can be signs of a fracture: 

 

pain and tenderness – particularly in the bones around the area 

being unable to weight bare or lift heavy objects 

swelling and significant bruising 

a ‘crack’ sound during the injury 

the area being a funny shape (dislocated) 

bone poking out of the skin (open or compound fracture) 

 

Because of the shock and pain of breaking a bone you may also feel faint, dizzy or sick. 

 

If the injury is not severe it can be difficult to tell if your bone is broken or just sprained. An X-ray usually carried out to confirm whether the bone is broken.

The human body is made up of a vast number of cells. In many ways, the cells of the human body act like tiny batteries, storing and releasing energy. Each cell has a measurable electrical charge and therefore there is a constant energy flow maintained between cells throughout the electrical circuitry of the body. When damage or trauma occurs, there is a disruption in the production of electricity and a measurable decrease in the flow of energy through the tissues involved. 

 

This therapy encourages blood flow and circulation to areas of damage; this in turn accelerate the body’s natural healing process. 

 

During treatment, the Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse introduce mild electrical currents into the cells of your body in order to return the tissue to a normal level of electrical activity. This process may be likened to a “jump start” and “putting a charge” on the battery of a car. In this way, the instrument assists the body in accelerating the natural self-healing process. 

 

We have found that on average most people who have had treatment on a broken or fractured bone quickly after the injury, require 3-4 treatments to take away inflammation & to accelerate the healing of the bone. More importantly, the pain disappears quickly. 

 

 

“I had undergone surgery on both of my feet in October 2015, the pain was more than I could have imagined and the swelling was so uncomfortable. I felt dreadful from the affects of the anaesthetic and the pain killers. I wasn’t sleeping and I was very irritable. 

 

I had heard about Sue’s treatment but I didn’t understand it could and questioned how it would help me. In fact it would be true to say that I was quite sceptical. 

 

One week after the operation, I called Sue in desperation as I just could not bare to carry on as I was, it was so bad I would try anything. 

 

I arrived at Sue’s clinic, which is a very comfortable and calm environment. Sue soon put me at ease and assured me that she could help. I still didn’t quite understand how. Sue assessed me and clearly detailed the treatment that I would receive and what the benefits would be. 

 

At the first visit my feet were still in bandages but my toes were exposed. Sue started by placing the headband and ear clips on me while I was all cosily wrapped up in blankets with a hot water bottle and she left me to relax to the sounds of the sea from her CD player. I hadn’t felt this relaxed since well before my operation and I quite easily could have fallen asleep. 

 

Then Sue used another instrument and used pressure points inside my ears similar to acupuncture to clear my system of the anaesthetic and pain killers. And then Sue used the instrument on my exposed feet to help reduce the paid and sharp stabbing sensations I was having. 

 

After my first treatment I was blow away, I felt so unbelievably better and the effects were immediate. I felt calmer and lighter, the pain had gone and especially the irritating stabbing sensations. This was all before I had left the clinic, I was converted and wanted to tell everyone how amazing this treatment was. 

 

That night I slept so well, the best night’s sleep in a long time and I felt much brighter the next day and my recovery improved over the coming days and weeks. 

 

I then had the bandages removed two weeks later and Sue treated me again for the second time, focusing on reducing the swelling and healing process of my surgical scars. We started again with the headband and ear clips, all cosy and relaxing. I’ve actually come to love that part of the treatment. 

 

Then Sue used the instrument on my feet, they looked like balloons and were painfully swollen. She also worked on the scars, the treatment is pain free and quite relaxing. Once Sue was finished I was amazed, the swelling had significantly reduced immediately. To the point that the skin was creased as it hadn’t had chance to shrink back during the treatment. And I have more range of movement in my feet now the swelling had reduced, allowing me to practice the exercises advised to me by my hospital consultant. 

 

Following the treatment and over the course of the following days, I just couldn’t stop looking at my feet, I was amazed how much the swelling had gone down and the scars were healing well. 

 

The hospital consultant advised me that my feet will be swollen for about 4 months, despite this, I’m happy to say that this has not been the case for me since the treatment given by Sue. I’ve managed to wear shoes again after only 8 weeks following my operation which I didn’t think would be possible and this is only after two treatments. 

 

I would honestly say that Sue has helped my recovery immensely, not only from a physical aspect but from a well being perspective. The treatment gave immediate relief from the pain and discomfort and accelerated the healing process. I would highly recommend Sue and her Advanced Healing Therapies to anyone who has undergone surgery.” Rachel Wade, HR Consultant, Opt HR Ltd.
