His index finger got caught in a stone saw machine
"In addition to the physical complaints, it also started to become mentally difficult for him"
When my son, while working as a gardener, severely pinched his index finger in a stone saw, a long period of pain, uncertainty, and frustration began.
Although no fracture was visible on the x-rays, his finger swelled, grayed, and eventually the fingertip turned almost black. The pain was unbearable: even touching the finger with a towel or comforter was too much. A surgical procedure to remove the nail brought some relief, but the finger remained extremely sensitive, and he could not use his hand. There was no improvement. Physiotherapy proved ineffective, and he was told that his nerves were damaged.
Besides the physical complaints, things also began to take a toll on him mentally. The constant pain, the inability to work, and the lack of any prospect of recovery weighed heavily on him.
At the same time, my son had been suffering from frequent, severe headaches for a long time. And because he was temporarily unable to work because of his finger, I decided to contact the FNI (Flemish Foundation for Injury and Disability) for both problems.
I'm so glad I did!
From the very first phone call, I was taken seriously. Both Mr. van der Kuil and his son Sebastiaan delved deeply into my son's situation. The treatments incorporated functional neurology and TRT SoftWave Therapy. After the very first treatment, we saw results: blood circulation improved and the pain decreased somewhat. We were so happy with that! And it finally gave us hope. His headaches also became less frequent and less severe. After three treatments for his finger and four for his headaches, my son was able to return to work! His finger has fully recovered, and his headaches have also disappeared.
The personal attention, the thoughtful treatment approach, and above all, the enormous expertise of this team have been invaluable to my son's recovery.
We are deeply grateful for what they were able to do for our son!
