Title: Hip shockwave, anyone? (presurf)
Post by: horse doc on January 19, 2012, 04:49:24 PM
I know this isn't technically a  resurf question but the members here are obviously very well informed and hungry for getting the best treatments available for their hips.

I'm looking for a treatment center offering hip shockwave therapy.  It is an "investigational" therapy in the USA so nobody offers it but I'm hoping to find someone hailing from a region where ESWT is utilized.  Most of the research i've found comes out of Taiwan, Germany and Italy.

Sorry, Pat, if this is a misplaced post but I didn't see an obvious section to ask this in :)

Here's an example of why my hip is in trouble >:(  Its my own dang fault...

Looks like you already got hip "shock" therapy from that tree.  ???   Never heard of it, but sounds interesting.
