“I Fully Believe That EXOGEN Was a Total Gamechanger for Me.”
Severely injured in a car accident, Angela Jones faced one particularly grim prognosis. Her right heel had been so badly crushed that, at one point, doctors told her they may need to amputate the foot. Angela began to feel more hopeful after reconstructive surgery on the heel, and even more so after a friend told her about EXOGEN. After consulting with her orthopaedic surgeon, Angela began using EXOGEN—and the results were dramatic.
