Bert -



You might have some luck with cold laser on the non-union. IF you are

unfamiliar with a cold laser, you can read some things at:

http://www.erchonia.com/ or do a google search.



bone healing is one of the things that they are supposed to be helpful

with. I don't have personal experience with the cold laser and bone

healing, but I have heard from Jeff Spencer (team doctor for US Postal)

that the cold laser can help with things like that.



There is a DC in NE that uses one with patients: Arden Kirchem, DC. He

is on the corner of NE 132nd and Halsey. 503.252.5911



Might be worth a shot. Good luck,

-Seth

months, a

non-union. Luckily, I feel strong and have no pain.



Doc says no riding until May but spinning classes and trainer are OK.



Possible treatments going forward are electric simulation to cause bone

growth and surgery.



Any of you have suggestions or similar experiences you'd care to share

with

me.
