What is a bone growth stimulator?
A bone growth stimulator is a noninvasive medical device that uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology to promote natural bone healing. These devices are worn externally and emit low-level electromagnetic signals that activate the body’s repair processes at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels.
Why it’s needed
Bone growth stimulators are often prescribed for patients recovering from spinal fusion surgery, treating nonunion fractures, or with conditions that put them at risk for poor bone healing (such as smoking, diabetes, or osteoporosis). PEMF therapy has been clinically proven to:
● Increase bone cell activity and mineralization
● Accelerate callus formation and improve bone density
● Enhance spinal fusion success by up to 36%
● Help patients avoid revision surgeries or prolonged healing times
These devices are safe, well-tolerated, and have shown high healing success rates—up to 92% in spinal fusion cases and over 80% in long bone nonunion cases when used consistently.
Billing and eligibility
Bone growth stimulators are prescription-only devices and are typically covered by insurance, including Medicare, when medically necessary. Our team works with your physician and insurance provider to determine eligibility and will handle the paperwork on your behalf. For those without coverage, we offer clear cash-pay pricing and patient support throughout the process.
