Description:
Hips
are operated on for a wide range of reasons, leaving the joint stiff
and sore (sometimes for many weeks).
BioStim
helps to relieve pain, increase blood supply and speed the rate of healing.
It can be used from the first day after surgery all the way through
to full rehabilitation. When appropriate, BioStim can be used
to strengthen the hip muscles which
will be weak through inactivity.
Placement
of Applicators:
One
electrode directly over the hip joint from both the front and from behind.
