A member asked:
Read where studies showed tens unit actually helped stimulate non union bone growth. can this help with a pars fract? 7 months since injury
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely with TENS: You do not want to confuse a tens unit with a bone stimulator. These are different devices. Most fractures heal in time. I would expect 7 months from injury that there has been healing. This is best evaluated with a bone scan or mri. Discuss with your physician.
