Emsculpt NEO Meets SpecOrtho: A Revolutionary Approach to Orthopaedic Care

BTL’s Emsculpt NEO has long been celebrated for its ability to burn stubborn fat and build muscle. But now, it’s breaking new ground with FDA clearance for medical applications, expanding beyond aesthetics to support functional wellness and physical rehabilitation.

This innovation aligns perfectly with the expert orthopaedic care provided at SpecOrtho in Fort Mill, SC—a premier provider specializing in sports and non-sports-related injuries. With a focus on minimally invasive techniques, fast recovery, and comprehensive patient care, SpecOrtho is pioneering a cutting-edge approach to rehabilitation by incorporating Emsculpt NEO into its treatment plans.

Emsculpt NEO’s Expanded FDA-Cleared Medical Applications

As of October 2024, Emsculpt NEO has gained approval for various medical uses, including muscle rehabilitation, injury prevention, and post-surgical recovery. Patients struggling with muscle atrophy, mobility loss, and injury-related complications can now benefit from this non-invasive, high-tech solution.

How It Helps:

  • Prevention of Disuse Atrophy – Emsculpt NEO keeps muscles active even when patients are immobilized after an injury or surgery.
  • Muscle Re-Education – Helps retrain muscles post-surgery or following neurological conditions.
  • Increasing Range of Motion – Improves flexibility and mobility for patients recovering from orthopaedic injuries.
  • Prevention of Post-Surgical Calf Muscle Atrophy – Reduces muscle deterioration and complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
  • Relaxation of Muscle Spasms – Helps manage pain and tension in recovering muscles.
  • Enhancing Blood Circulation – Speeds up healing and recovery through improved vascular activity.

SpecOrtho provides comprehensive orthopaedic care, including physician consultations, imaging services, surgery, and physical therapy. Emsculpt NEO enhances these traditional treatments by offering fast and effective muscle recovery solutions.
