The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) say that it can take up to 3 months to return to most activities after a knee replacement, and 6 months to a year before your knee is as strong and resilient as it can be. Having some pain, swelling, and bruising is a normal part of the recovery process following knee surgery. That said, there are many ways to manage postoperative symptoms and ease your recovery.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, many people experience moderate to severe swelling in the first few days or weeks after surgery and mild to moderate swelling for 3 to 6 months after surgery.
Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy has had many clinical studies done to support the effectiveness of PEMF.
PEMF therapy impacts the body on a cellular level, which means it can have a positive impact on a wide range of health problems and conditions!
In PEMF-treated patients, an improvement in bone-to-implant contact, bone area ratio of rough-surfaced implants, mineral apposition rate and bone formation rate were observed. Also, an improvement in mechanical properties in terms of hardness to micro-indentation was detected.
