PHANTOM LIMB PAIN & ASSOCIATED NON-HEALING WOUND
Apply the shockhead to the amputation stump and around the edges of the stump. The
successful treatment will retrain the nerves to recognize the missing length of limb.
Ideally, the CellSonic VIPP treatment begins in the hospital. This can negate the need
for antibiotics, close the wound fully, and minimize scars.
AFTER THE TREATMENT: They can continue to use their prosthesis
immediately.

Locations of the calciferous deposits will be determined by palpation or ultrasound.
AFTER THE TREATMENT: The patient should not wear a sling or cast. The
patient has to stay in motion with his/her treated arm - shoulder from day one.
PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS: The patient should be instructed in gentle range of
motion exercises and continue them for 4 to 6 weeks. No lifting of heavy items,
including children etc., and definitely not with the arm above shoulder height. Avoid
resting the arm/elbow on arm rests, such as in a car. Never try to lift one's body out of
