What is a fracture?

A fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone. When a fracture happens, it’s classified as either open or closed.

What causes Fractures?

Fractures most often happen when more force is applied to the bone than the bone can take. Bones are weakest when they are twisted.

Bone fractures can be caused by falls, injury or as a result of a direct hit or kick to the body.

Overuse or repetitive motions can tire muscles and put more pressure on the bone. This causes stress fractures. This is more common in athletes and military recruits.

Fractures can also be caused by diseases that weaken the bone. This includes osteoporosis or cancer in the bones.

What are the Symptoms of a Fracture?

Symptoms may be a bit different for each person. Symptoms of a broken or fractured bone may include:

• Sudden pain

• Trouble using or moving the injured area or nearby joints

• Unable to bear weight

• Swelling

• Obvious deformity

• Warmth, bruising or Redness

SUPER INDUCTIVE SYSTEM - Physiotherapy Tree

The Super Inductive System (SIS) works for bone fractures by using a high-intensity electromagnetic field to accelerate healing, improve blood flow, and promote bone regeneration, helping form new bone (callus) faster, reducing pain, and decreasing swelling from the start of recovery. It stimulates tissue metabolism and circulation, aiding in bone remodeling and mineralization, with the field penetrating clothing or plaster for treatment.

How it works for fractures

• High-Intensity Electromagnetic Field: The device generates a powerful magnetic field that penetrates deep into tissues.

• Accelerated Healing: This field enhances blood circulation and tissue metabolism, which are crucial for forming vascular and cartilage calluses needed for bone repair.

• Bone Remodeling: It stimulates the natural bone remodeling process, helping the bone heal stronger and faster.

• Pain & Swelling Reduction: The therapy also reduces pain and swelling, making the healing process more comfortable.

• Non-Invasive: It's a non-invasive treatment, meaning no needles or skin contact is required, and it can even work through clothing or casts.

Benefits

• Early Application: Can be used from day one of the fracture recovery.

• Pain Management: Provides immediate relief for acute and chronic pain associated with fractures.

• Operator-Free: Once set, the therapy runs automatically, allowing therapists to focus on other tasks.

How it's applied

• A specific protocol for fracture healing is selected.

• Intensity is adjusted based on patient feedback for comfort and effectiveness.

• Sessions are typically 20-30 minutes and can be combined with other therapies.
