Treating Non-Healing Wounds Successfully & Without Surgery With Cellsonic Regeneration

Many people who develop nonhealing wounds – chronic leg ulcers – are told by doctors that their condition is difficult to impossible to heal.  People learn to change their bandages regularly and hope that gangrene and amputation are not in their future. But many of these wounds CAN be healed.

Venous dysfunctions, diabetes, infections, peripheral neuropathy, pressure, and atherosclerosis are the most common reasons a person might have a chronic leg ulcer.

All these conditions cause a decrease in circulation. Robust circulation is necessary to get oxygen and nutrients to the wound—two requirements for healing. 

Enter… CellSonic Regeneration: We can increase circulation and stimulate healing with very intense pressure pulses (VIPP). These are acoustic waves that we hear as sound, or a “bang.”     Each pulse lasts only a few nanoseconds. The pulses create a micro injury, alerting the body to a problem which needs attention. 

The body responds by triggering biological responses that stimulate the generation of new tissue. 

As intense pressure pulses race through the wound, they: 

• Kill viruses, bacteria, and parasites; antibiotics generally are not required. 

• Blood vessels grow into the area and thus circulation increases (as shown by trials at Tubingen University). 

• Stem cells are directed to the right place. 

• The inflammatory response is balanced. With better vascularization, cells can begin to repair themselves.

We all have experienced similar “pressure pulses” before: 

• Lightening and thunder 

• Airplanes that broke the sound barrier

In the 1980s, this power was initially used in medicine in the form of a large machine (lithotripter) that could break up kidney stones. Surgery to remove a kidney stone used to be one of the most challenging treatments to perform. The invention of the lithotripter changed everything, and with the first-ever non-invasive surgery, a new era of medicine was born. 

The first pressure waves were called “Stoßwelle” which translated into English as “shockwave.” That was unfortunate because in English, the term gives the impression that an electric shock is involved when it is not, and that it is a wave which it is not. In fact, it is an acoustic shock, and each individual event is better described as a pulse or a “bang.” Nevertheless, “shockwave” became the popular word. As the technology evolved, smaller handheld devices were used for wound healing, dermatology, orthopedics, and physiotherapy. It is generally called “Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy,” or ESWT for short.

In a recent German study of patients with 75 leg ulcers, doctors treated wounds with CellSonic Regeneration pulses. No anesthetic was used, and the treatment took a few minutes. The treatment was well tolerated and usually performed 4 times, once every 3-4 weeks. How did the results turn out?

Like this: 

• 41% showed complete healing 

• 16% were significantly improved 

• 35% were improved 

• 8% showed no change 

So in total, 92% of all treated ulcers improved during ESWT.
