Retired Purchasing Agent on the Road to Recovery with ActaStim®
For Raymond, a retired purchasing agent for an electronics company, daily activities at home and outside became increasingly difficult for him due to issues with balance and walking. Concerned about his worsening condition, he consulted his primary care doctor, who later referred him to a specialist.
Immediately after seeing his specialist, Raymond was told he would need to undergo surgery to address this pain and health issues. Feeling anxious to return to his normal routine and a recommendation from his doctor, he underwent the procedure.
Following the surgery, his doctor prescribed the ActaStim® Bone Growth Stimulator, the only spinal fusion bone growth stimulator that combines clinically proven therapy, continuous wearability, and actionable daily patient insights to support healing via a smartphone app, as part of his recovery plan.
“Later on after I had surgery, a Theragen sales team member reached out to me and explained how to use the ActaStim device to help with my recovery journey,” said Raymond, a Florida resident. “It seemed easy enough to use, so I gave it a try.”
Raymond began using the device and within several weeks of his surgery and wearing ActaStim for almost 24 hours a day, he noticed a significant difference in how he felt.
“I couldn’t believe how much better I was doing,” he said. “I’m convinced that ActaStim helped with my recovery, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s healing from a spinal fusion.”
Beyond the device itself, Raymond found support in the Theragen team, who were always available to answer questions promptly and provide the necessary supplies.
While his balance has not fully restored just yet as he is still recovering, Raymond is feeling the best he has in years. “I’m already back to my normal activities – I was just out fixing the sprinklers today!” He also hopes to take a drive soon to Georgia with his wife to spend more time now with his great granddaughter.
