Dear List Members,
I know that chiropodists, chiropractors and podiatrists are using
extracorporeal shock wave therapy to treat plantar fasciitis (among other
things). I recently attended a teleconference where the speaker (a
podiatrist) had some fairly good early results in treating Morton's neuroma.
Being a prosthetist, I wondered if this treatment modality would be at all
successful with a residual limb neuroma?? Any thoughts???
TIA,
Kristin
