It is believed to work through the active stimulation of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation as evidenced by increased levels of DNA synthesis and of the osteoblast markers osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase. Through an ionic exchange, Bioglass first acts as a scaffolding around and through which new bone forms.
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT, or PEMF therapy), also known as low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) is the use of electromagnetic fields in an attempt to heal non-union fractures and depression. [1] By 2007 the FDA had cleared several such stimulation devices. [2]
Albert Abrams (1863–1924), Photo c. 1900 Radionic instruments. Radionics [1] —also called electromagnetic therapy (EMT) and the Abrams method—is a form of alternative medicine that claims that disease can be diagnosed and treated by applying electromagnetic radiation (EMR), such as radio waves, to the body from an electrically powered device.

Other repair or plastic operations on bone Internal fixation of bone without fracture reduction Removal of implanted devices from bone Osteoclasis Diagnostic procedures on bone, not elsewhere classified Insertion of bone growth stimulator Reduction of fracture and dislocation
Orthofix (OFIX) vouches for PhysioStim's efficiency, claiming the devices to lead the U.S. market of prescribed bone growth stimulators combined with spinal fusion stimulators.
Low intensity pulsed ultrasound has been proposed as a therapy to support bone healing after fractures, [1] osteomies, or delayed healing. A 2017 review, however, found no trustworthy evidence for the use of low intensity pulsed ultrasound for bone healing, mostly based on the large pragmatic randomized controlled trial published in 2016.
