Re: DOC Band - About to make the big decision...

[Guest guest]

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.
