    Re: Wrist Injury

    Ultrasound is able to give temporary relief but that is all it does. It has found to have no value in healing. It also carries a small risk of causing a deep burn - not a pleasant side effect. There are cheaper and safer ways of giving yourself a bit of pain relief.

    Captain 127 - an osteopath is not going to help you sought out a scaphoid fracture. In the UK oteopaths are alternative therapists. I m not saying don't try it but they can't really do a better diagnosis if that s what is needed

    Re: Wrist Injury

    really? i just saw that they deal with sports injuries and various other things and assumed they can diagnose the wrist, alternatively i should just go see a physio to checkup on my wrist again? as various other problems are developing as my middle and the other part of the wrist is beginning to cause even more pain than it used to now? I'm frankly just confused in seeking help from a different physio again or to seek out an osteopath to get an opinion from like a different perspective or just going to a hospital to get an x-ray again because a 4 month injured wrist is bad and with exams coming up i hate to break my wrist in rugby
