Hi guys, I actually have been getting some amazing results with PEMF and cold laser. I also use Rock Tape. If you are not aware of PEMF let me know but I am attaching the white paper so you can read about it. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Immobilize for 2 to 4 weeks in a boot depending on the severity of the tear. Allow the muscle to heal. Then begin stretching passive and active with reduced normal activity (the muscle can tear again), maybe some ultrasound, soft tissue work and certainly ice.. I have had several patients including myself twice with calf tears. On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 6:27 AM, Kenny <ksfdc11@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Ben, I tore my calm 7 years ago. I had pitting edema throughout my lower leg. I was put in a boot for three to four weeks. Ice, ems. The boot was the best thing.

Grade 1: The muscle is stretched causing some small micro tears in the muscle fibres. Recovery takes approximately 2 to 4 weeks if you do all the right things. Grade 2: There is partial tearing of muscle fibres. Full recovery takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks with good rehabilitation. Grade 3: This is the most severe calf strain with a complete tearing or rupture of muscle fibres in the lower leg. Full recovery can take 3-4 months and, in some instances, surgery may be needed To: sfvcca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sfvcca] Repairing a pulled or torn muscle From: dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 02:04:50 -0400 I have a question. What would you suggest a patient do who has pulled or possibly torn a calf muscle, besides the usual rest, ice, compression and elevation? We tried EMS and we're going to try acupuncture. Any other suggestions. The calf is quite swollen and painful and it's a week old.
