Patient fell hard on her knees on concrete. Extreme pain and swelling with limited mobility and range of motion. MRI showed loose body (cartilage); MD diagnosed joint affusion. Began treatment with 10 minutes (Balance) 3 times per day on and around injury site. After 2 weeks, moved to 10 minutes on each of the three modes, 3 times per day. Swelling noticeably reduced as well as radiant heat in area of injury. Greatly increased mobility and ROM. Great reduction in painkillers and anti-inflammatories being taken. Walks with less pain and more mobility. Reports better sleeping (which had been a big problem even before the accident) and optimism even though on a temporary leave from work because of injury on-duty.
