Ultrasound Bone Healing

The now familiar ultrasound image of a baby in the womb derives from research Dr. Ian Donald, Regius Professor of Midwifery, carried out at the Glasgow (Scotland) Royal Maternity Hospital during the 1950s. Pioneering work in sonography continues in Glasgow, where orthopedic surgeon Angus MacLean has demonstrated that sound waves can foster bone regrowth after a fracture. In one patient’s words: “It’s got a wee strap and that goes round where the break was. I put some gel on the probe and then I just put the probe inside the strap and then just basically leave it for 20 minutes.” MORE WITH VIDEO

I used an ultrasonic “wand” operating at 1 mHz to reduce tooth aches as well as more conventional reducing pain in knew joints and relief of pain due to tendinitis in the upper leg. The ability of ultrasound to increase blood flow is most likely the source of this magical benefit.
If you have a way of passing this on to Mr. MacLean I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheerio.
