A member asked:
Read some studies where electrical stim and bone stim + brace helped heal bilateral pars fract. i'm 22 and injured it 7 months ago. is it worth a try?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I would try every conservative method possible prior to having surgery. The only exception would be if you had loss of control of your bowel or bladder.
