Joel,
But there IS good evidence in favour of ESTW - but the right treatment
needs to be matched to the right patient group. You seem to not accept this
tenent.
I have posted evidence twice but you have not taken this into account.
Unfortunately I do not have librabry access to search for other papers at
this time. If you are interested there is more to be found in the links I
have provided.
The way I see it the jury is still out on it but I found enough evidence
that suggests to me that it is a worthwhile addition, in the managment of
recalcitrant heel pain. To re-iterate, the worst outcome is the patient is
no better. The best outcome: the patient is saved from potentially harmful
surgery. I have not followed the ankle manipulation thread but would
suggest the same philosophy applies.
If you have closed your mind to this it is your perogative - nonetheless I
appreciate your input and observations about the Buchbinder study.
I would be interested to hear from anyone else who is using the equipment
right now.
