Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Colleen, This is incorrect. Orthomerica and Hanger both got FDA approval because they were similar to the DOC Band. The DOC was the only one to go through FDA clinical trials. They should be just as effective as a DOC Band if the ortho knows what he's doing. You see success stories with all types of products here because they work in a similar fashion. If your ortho feels the products are dissimilar perhaps he should contact the FDA to let them know. > > > > > > > > Hi. I am relatively new on this board and have found it of > great > > > > help.
