Military utilization is also significant. The Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, and Special Ops Teams use Anodyne therapy for treatment of various soft tissue injuries. It is being used in Afghanistan and Iraq to increase circulation and reduce pain in soldiers suffering from everything from frostbite to bullet wounds.
The SEALS did a retrospective chart review of using Anodyne on high ankle sprains. Their previous protocol had been the National Football League (NFL) high ankle sprain protocol. When Anodyne was added to the NFL protocol, a 40% improvement in healing time was observed.
Anodyne therapy is used in the Physical Therapy Department of the Navy SEAL Team 5, Coronado, San Diego, California. Army hospitals using Anodyne include Walter Reed, Tripler, Madigan, William Beaumont, and Ft. Carson.
[Note: Anodyne is not cleared for wound healing, frostbite, bullet wounds, or high ankle sprain. The above results are only meant to show the increase in circulation and decrease in pain produced by Anodyne therapy and not meant to infer that Anodyne therapy alone heals soft tissue injuries.]
