Bone stimulators are covered by most private health insurance companies. Our team can coordinate with your insurance company to confirm coverage and any paperwork required to complete the process. We can also handle any requests from WSIB and or a motor vehicle accident claim.

According to clinical studies, 20 minutes per day is proven to be the most effective in healing the fracture. Completing multiple treatments has shown no added benefit.

Treatment can be started at any stage of the healing process. Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound is effective during all three bone healing stages. 

Different fractures heal at different rates. Please consult your physician to determine the necessary length to complete treatment.
