Thanks, Jude, for this post. More and more the healing properties of sound are being used/validated/discovered.

U.S. doctors use sound waves to heal bones without surgery
In a small hospital in California, orthopedic researchers have found a way to heal broken bones using focused sound instead of scalpels. The technology, known as “acoustic osteogenesis,” sends precisely tuned ultrasonic waves deep into fractured areas, stimulating bone cells to rebuild tissue faster and stronger than before.
This non-invasive method eliminates the need for metal rods or screws in many fracture cases. It works by triggering stem cells to form osteoblasts — the very cells that create bone. Within days, new mineralization begins, knitting the fracture internally.
In early trials, patients with long-term non-healing fractures recovered full strength in less than half the time of traditional surgery. The sound waves also reduce inflammation and improve blood flow around the injury.
Surgeons say this could transform emergency and sports medicine, especially for soldiers and athletes who can’t afford long recovery times.
For the first time, healing bones may no longer require cutting them open — just the right sound.
