Orthofix PEMF Stimulation

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) osteogenesis stimulation is a safe,
nonsurgical, prescription treatment to promote spinal fusion and heal nonunion
fractures. Electrical currents have been used to heal bones since the mid-1800s.
However, it wasn't until the 1950s that scientists made an important discovery.
When human bone is bent or broken, it generates an electrical field. This
low-level electrical field activates the body's own repair mechanism which,
in turn, stimulates bone healing.
Orthofix PEMF osteogenesis stimulators generate a uniform, low-level, pulsed
electromagnetic field similar to the electrical field generated by the body. The
application of PEMF directly to the fusion site helps activate and augment the
body's natural healing process to enhance bone fusion. Thank you for including
Orthofix in your healing process. To learn more about osteogenesis stimulation,

Clinical Success of the Spinal-Stim

The Spinal-Stim has been proven safe and effective in clinical studies.
A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study demonstrated a 92% success
rate (fusion rate) with the adjunctive use of Spinal-Stim. An open clinical trial
of patients who were diagnosed with failed spinal fusions (nonoperative
salvage) demonstrated that application of Spinal-Stim resulted in a 67%
success rate, meaning 67% of the patient population in this study healed without
further surgery. For additional information, see the "Clinical Data" section.
