Broken Hip and Poor Circulation With Diabetes

I broke my hip and healing was very slow. I had been using a walker for the last two months and was not able to put my foot fully on the ground. The doctors were worried because I am a diabetic and there had been a delay before the operation, provoking a potential necrosis.

Because of circulation difficulties, my leg felt icy and was a mottled, dull colour. At this point, Heidi entered my shop and, seeing me negotiating the small space behind the counter with difficulty, asked me what had happened. After I explained, she went home and came back with her Bioptron light and colours. She told me what it could do and my scepticism knew no bounds, but I was ready to try anything.

In 10 minutes my ankle, which was stiff and unbending through lack of articulation, became much more supple. Encouraged by this, she left the light and colours with me, with instructions on how to use them.

I used the purple colour on my whole leg and the Bioptron and orange on my hip.

In 3 days my leg felt lukewarm; after a week it was warm and the colour was normal. I was also able to put my foot to the ground and started walking with the aid of a cane - a huge help while negotiating the confines of my small shop. I used the light for three weeks at Heidi's insistence. I had no pain at all.

I went back to my specialist who expressed surprise and satisfaction at the way my hip was healing.

I am continuing exercises with the physio, and today I am walking freely.

I am absolutely convinced that the Bioptron and the purple colour not only accelerated my healing time, but played a vital role in restoring circulation to my leg after months of non-use. I heartily recommend Bioptron for all injuries and especially for diabetics whose biggest difficulty is poor healing because of a lack of good circulation.
