SKI RACING CRASH JAN. 21 2023
- X-Rays showed a fractured clavicle and three cracked ribs with both shoulders with torn rotator cuffs noting the orthopedic surgeon felt no surgery necessary for the non-protruding fractures, but surgery most likely necessary for the torn rotators
- Heavy bruising and fractures yielded a month of upright attempted sleeping
- Using a Storz ultra 100 during the first three weeks using low energy treatments .07-1.0 energy both shoulders and surrounding areas five to six times per week increasing number of shocks by 15% per week reaching approx. 4500 per shoulder area.
- After six weeks the fractures by ex-ray showed to be healed and advised that by the 12 week mark maximal healing should be achieved
- After the first five weeks energy levels were gradually moved up to 1.5-3.5 pending the area using the R15 for overall initially, the F15 over the bony areas and the D20-T with varied energy depending on the depth of the tissue up to 5,000 shocks per shoulder and area
- Treatments dropped from daily to twice per week by the end of five weeks and reduced to once every 5-6 days thereafter until today, approximately 14 weeks later, noting a gradually increasing physio load program using primarily elastic bands
- Patient has had four shoulder surgeries in the past, often taking up to a year for full recovery, thus shock wave treatments are remarkably viable
- Conclusion-no surgery necessary given fractures 100%, and torn rotators now 90% reducing treatments to once every 10-14 days ramping up the load on the physio. THANKS BE TO STORZ SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
