LIPUS For Stress Fracture Healing

Posted on by Hayden Latimer

Stress fractures are common overuse injuries affecting athletes, runners, and military personnel. These tiny cracks in the bone typically result from repetitive loading with insufficient recovery. Frequently the can prove to be difficult to heal. Especially in high-risk areas, or patients with underlying health issues. An increasingly recognized treatment option is LIPUS for stress fracture healing. LIPUS or, Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound is a non-invasive therapy. Biological stimulation to support faster, more complete bone repair.

Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound for Fracture Healing

The soundwaves are produced in pulses rather than a continuous stream. It is utilised primarily in the healing of bone and aims to accelerate tissue regeneration and bone healing at a cellular level. LIPUS is non-invasive and painless, making it an ideal treatment option to speed up recovery after fractures or ORIF procedures.
