Cervical Stimulator Bone Growth

In the past, spinal surgery patients faced the risk of improper healing and incomplete fusion of their backbone. Now, however, the post-surgical process of cervical bone growth stimulation provides patients and doctors with a safe and measurable degree of successful healing.

Definition

• According to Carolina Newswire, cervical stimulator bone growth is given to high-risk spinal surgery fusion patients by applying a continuous pulse to the person's surgical fusion spot.

Effectiveness

• The continuously pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation delivered during cervical stimulator bone growth therapy has been reported as being effective in providing identifiable bone growth in the form of spinal fusion.

Compatibility

• According to bonestimulation.com, spinal care patients who wear a cardiac pacemaker should refrain from receiving cervical stimulation bone growth until their doctor can determine that the continuous pulse will not be disruptive.

Healing Time

• A patient's healing time is dependent on the program established by his doctor, but the average patient wears the cervical bone growth stimulator device for three to six months to achieve adequate fusion.

Description

• According to entrepreneur.com, cervical bone growth stimulation is provided by a product called Cervical-Stim, which delivers a low-energy pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) through a battery-operated padded collar.
