After a bone fracture, a combination of the physical trauma and emotional shock traumatize the bone cells in the injured area. The result of this cellular trauma is excess inflammation, impaired healing and pain. Anti-inflammatory medication can also interfere with bone healing by blocking natural inflammatory processes that are important catalysts to healing.
The unpredictable waves of the Infratonic 8000, however, work to dissolve cellular trauma—thus relaxing cells to reduce inflammation and calming the body to help with treating chronic pain. As the cells return to their normal duties, they begin producing the necessary chemicals for healing and pave the way for accelerated recovery
Anti-Inflammatory Medications Can Impede Healing
Pharmaceutical companies have come up with a wide variety of drugs that promise to reduce inflammation and promote pain relief. Steroids (synthetic cortisol products, such as cortisone) relieve pain by blocking inflammation. Other pain medications, called non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (or NSAIDS) also inhibit inflammation.
Pharmaceutical companies promote products that claim to reduce inflammation, but anti-inflammatories still block the healing process for the sake of pain relief. Rather than blocking all inflammatory chemicals, we need the cells to produce the optimal amount of each chemical to accelerate healing.
When treating chronic pain sufferers who take anti-inflammatories, a slower recovery time is reported than treatment that uses the Infratonic 8000 alone. By calming the cellular trauma, the Infratonic converts an excessive inflammatory response into an effective healing response. Anti-inflammatories, by blocking inflammation, often block our healing response, which, in turn, can slow the healing.

" A patient who had multiple wrist fractures—and pins surgically inserted—was in a great deal of pain. I provided 20-minute Infratonic Therapy treatments every day for one week, then three times a week for two more weeks. Three weeks after the fractures occurred, the orthopedic surgeon couldn't believe how much the bones had healed. Plus, the patient had significant pain reduction during healing.
