After a severe fall that broke all four metatarsals in her left foot, Mary Elizabeth was concerned about how her foot would heal, given that fact that her immune system had already been compromised from prior illnesses. Unfortunately, that concern was replaced by a more pressing one when, less than a month later, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Initially, her podiatrist assured Mary Elizabeth it would take about six weeks for her foot to heal. But after that time had gone by, the foot was showing no signs of progress. They waited longer to no avail. At this point, her doctor suggested the Orthofix Physio-Stim® bone growth stimulator to help activate her natural healing process. Within a matter six weeks the foot was healed. And even while undergoing chemotherapy treatment, Mary Elizabeth felt a huge relief and renewed confidence knowing that she could now focus on getting well again.
I can't say how much this (device) meant to me - to get back on my feet, to build my energy again and to fight the disease I was encountering.
