Solutions for Leg Fractures
A leg fracture (split or break) occurs when more pressure is put on a bone than it can stand. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open—or compound—fracture. A stress fracture is a hairline crack in the bone that develops because of repeated or prolonged force against the bone. Some symptoms of a broken leg include a visibly out-of-place or misshapen limb or joint, swelling, bruising, or bleeding, intense pain numbness and tingling, broken skin with bone protruding, limited mobility or inability to move a limb.
Treatment
If the fracture is treated within 24 hours of injury, apply the Infratonic 8000 transducer gently to the affected area several times a day for a minimum of 20 minutes each. Therapy can also be applied through clothing or a plaster cast—even several inches away. Sometimes, it's most comfortable to start with the transducer 12 or more inches away, than gradually move it closer as the trauma is reduced. This helps keep the swelling down, so the body can produce and retain Hyaluronic acid in the traumatized area.

About six weeks ago, I stepped off a horse trailer, landed wrong, and broke my right lower leg about mid-way down. I had a rod put in the lower leg, and had a splint for about two weeks initially, and then no cast. I used the Infratonic on the wound for 3-4 treatments/day, using points on the bottom of my foot, as well as at the break point for about 10-20 minutes each—ending with a full sweep of my leg. Throughout my six-week recovery period, I have not had to use pain medications at all. My six-week x-rays show some advanced bone healing, and I am able to walk with a cane—and much of the time without any props at all.
