ice machine

As practitioners we are often introduced to new technology, products, and medications to enhance our patient care. At Advanced Podiatry we take pride in our expertise and our goal each day is provide our patients with the most advanced care in the area of foot and ankle medicine and surgery.

Two years ago we were introduced to an ice compression machine which was to facilitate faster healing, edema reduction and pain relief. This product was interesting, there was significant data on it's success but was not incorporated into my personal patient care until I myself became a patient. One morning in January I was at the gym and slipped and fell on a set of stairs; within an hour my ankle was four times the size of the other and I could not bare weight. After a negative set of radiographs I placed myself in a cam walker or removable cast boot and decided to reach out to the NuMed representatives.

Within a few short hours, I had a small portable device delivered to my office and was able to ice my ankle in between seeing patients and doing paperwork. My ankle sprain should have taken six weeks to resolve but I was back in a sneaker and at physical therapy within three weeks. I now prescribe the ice compression machine for all of my surgery and trauma patients. I personally have benefited from this form of technology but have also seen a decrease in prescription narcotics and increased recovery rate in my own patients. - Dr. Alison D. Croughan
