Non-Healing Bone/Stress Fracture Treatment

At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we're pioneering innovative approaches to treating non-healing bone and stress fractures, conditions that challenge many patients and can severely impact their mobility and quality of life. Traditional treatments often require prolonged periods of immobilization and can have varied success rates. However, our use of SoftWave therapy offers a promising alternative, providing a non-invasive solution that accelerates the healing process and improves outcomes.


Understanding Non-Healing Bone and Stress Fractures

Non-healing bone fractures, also known as non-unions, and stress fractures that fail to resolve can lead to chronic pain and disability. These conditions occur when the normal bone healing process is interrupted or stalled. Factors such as insufficient blood supply to the bone, repeated stress, or underlying health conditions can hinder healing, making effective treatment crucial.


SoftWave Therapy: A Cutting-Edge Approach

At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we utilize SoftWave therapy, a revolutionary technology that uses shock waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This treatment is particularly effective for complex cases like non-healing fractures where other therapies have failed.

  • Targeted Treatment Protocol: Our approach involves precisely mapping the treatment area to identify the exact location of the fracture. We then apply SoftWaves directly along the fracture line, ensuring that the energy waves penetrate the site of the injury to stimulate healing.

  • Intensity and Pulses: Treatment typically involves an intensity range of 8-12, with 1000-2000 pulses delivered per cm of the fracture. This targeted pulse delivery is designed to optimize the healing environment within the bone tissue.

  • Treatment Intervals and Duration: Given the nature of bone healing, treatment intervals are scheduled every 3-6 months, with the total number of sessions tailored to the patient’s response to therapy. Most patients require approximately eight treatments to achieve significant pain relief and healing.


Managing Expectations and Patient Care

While SoftWave therapy has shown considerable success in treating bone indications, it’s important to note that the overall success rate is less than 65%. This highlights the need for realistic expectations and a comprehensive treatment approach:

  • Activity Restriction: Patients are advised to restrict their activities for 4-8 weeks post-treatment to prevent re-injury and allow the healing process to initiate effectively. During this period, auxiliary measures such as casting or using a walking boot are often recommended.

  • Gradual Resumption of Activities: Resuming activities must be approached gradually after the initial rest period, as the bone remodeling process can take several months. This cautious progression ensures that the healing bone is not overstressed.
