Sock Doc’s Weekly Tip
Before you head into some latest and greatest treatment such as shock wave therapy, e-stim, prolotherapy, PRP, or any of the other many conventional therapies available today, remember that there was a time when the human hands were the main therapeutic tool driven by a sharp mind that was capable of figuring problems out based upon listening, observation, touch, and knowledge of the human body.
