A member asked:
Will a bone growth stimulator help heal a pars fracture that went misdiagnosed for 7 months?

Yes: A bone stimulator may help the pars fracture heal more rapidly. If you were my patient, though, i'd recommend starting with more old fashioned treatments like rest, bracing and tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain.
