Black Eyes, Sprained Ankles and Other Injuries

by Dr. Julia Lewis on May 15, 2012

Bruises are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to injuries. Muscles that are overstretched or torn can also affect the ligaments and tendons in the area, thus complicating the injury. Some think bruises are a badge of honor and wear them with pride. Others know better and understand that a bruise is a red flag signaling an injury that needs attention. Did you know that it is possible to speed up healing by 500% with the FSM – Frequency Specific Microcurrent machine?

Bob was 93 years old when he fell hitting the side of his face causing a nasty black eye. When he came into my office his left eye was bloodshot and he had a huge deep purple bruise under the eye. While he joked that “you should see the other guy” – I rushed to get the FSM machines to immediately start treating his injury. You would never expect a 93-year-old to heal up as quickly as he did – but look what the FSM was able to do for him in just a week!

Who do you know who has sprained the same ankle multiple times? They don’t know that the area is weak because of the structural instability caused by the abnormal tension patterns created by the original injury and made worse by repeated injuries. This can happen to necks that have had been in a car accident and received a whiplash injury.

FSM Heals Whiplash Fast

Sarah ‘s neck got whiplashed when her car was rear ended and totaled. She came in the next day for treatment. After I adjusted her I put the FSM on her neck for an hour and rented her a home unit to use for the next couple days. When she brought the machine back she was amazed at how quickly her neck had recovered. She said her last whiplash took months to recover and was afraid that this time it would take even longer since this accident was worse.

FSM Heals Sprained Ankle Fast

Bavanni badly twisted and sprained her ankle on a Friday afternoon. She went to urgent care first. The doctors told her that it looked like she had an avulsion tear and would need to see an Orthopedic Surgeon on Monday. She was given crutches and told to keep off her foot. Her next stop was my office, FSM to the rescue. She could put more weight on her foot after an hour on the machine. We treated her again Saturday with the FSM and on Monday the Orthopedic Surgeon said her ankle looked fine that she didn’t even need the crutches.

The moral of the story is the sooner you use the FSM after an injury the faster it heals. So when you see a nasty bruise starting to form realize it is the body crying out for FSM therapy to speed healing and rehab the injured area so it can be strong again. Don’t wait, Don’t hesitate – FSM to the Rescue!
