Cobie Fair Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I've been getting referred to some of the more recent technologies for healing up (from whatever injury/illness). EMF bed. My chiro is trying to get me to take for a test drive on his. Red light therapy. Earthing/grounding. Magnets therapy. Originally I kinda thought this was California airy-fairy BS. But persistent suggestions from qualified people have brought up my interest. Even with a simple multimeter, one can test one's own body's voltage (try it), and with a grounding mat it changes. So there are electronic fields in the body. Can they be used to help, or hinder healing/recovery/health? Lots on the internet about this stuff, but curious if any others have tried any of the above, and any success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted June 22 Author Report Share Posted June 22 I'd torn some muscles/tendons in my arm, and was told could be a year to fully heal. Earthing had been recommended by a trusted health care provider, so gave it a very informal try (literally just used the mat for a few minutes a day). The healing rate absolutely sped up and I didn't do anything else (in fact, I did less than before, since we were traveling/working at the schools). Has anyone else tried this and had any results?

Hotfoot Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 I haven't tried any of the things you mention above but Prolo (actually Prolozone, specifically) was helpful to me in speeding up healing of a hand injury - strained tendon - that did not seem to be going away.

Cobie Fair Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 OK, thanks. There have been some pretty interesting injury recoveries, I'd hoped to see if our members have had some successes they want to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graybeard Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 I have heard of a few local fast guys using PRP injections for shoulder rotator cuff pain with good success and to prevent going under the knife and a long recovery period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpounce32768 Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 lol, might have to try some of that stuff- was out splitting wood earlier today. Pushed too hard with the maul, but it was fun while it lasted. Traps and lats on the left are pretty sore- that being where I broke ribs and scapula when I wrecked the Bandit in 2018. I took some aspirin, will see how things feel by the weekend.
