 The therapy with high-energetic impulses - HIT® is often used with the bone healing and can be often applied up to the complete rehabilitation.
In an experimental double-blind study in 2008 van Bergen et al. shows the effectiveness of the HIT® on the basis of randomized and placebo-controlled treatment of bone fractures. With the therapy of 68 patients the success rate of the healing moves by the application of HIT® dramatically. The authors show that the documented duration of the therapy and the healing success differs significantly to the patients who were not treated by HIT®. Beyond it, the patients who received a high-energetic impulse therapy could unexpectedly fast continue again, in comparison to the control group, with serious sport or heavier physical work [2].
The cell-biological bases of the improved bone healing by HIT® were proved in several lab tests. In the newest work of Tsai et al. it is shown how "young" human bone cells (Osteoblasts) can be stimulated by highly energetic impulses (HI). By the application of HI the cell division rate increases significantly during the period of the treatment. This amazingly easy mechanism of action of HI lead researchers to benefit at the moment to breed bone tissue for transplant fast and efficiently in the laboratory [3].

A TheraCell® treatment lasts between five and twenty minutes. If required, the treatment can be repeated or performed on several body parts consecutively. Due to its simple application, the treatment can be delegated easily and integrates well into the normal practice routine.
