Get an AlphaSonic!!! It really helped Bunny! Susan's toll-free number is 877 244-6942. Tell her Bunny sent you. (This is a NON-Paid for announcement ;-) ) AND Dr. Charlie Boles is the best leg-man in the business. He was chosen as the vet for the Olympics and is a Board-certified Surgeon as well. He is a Master and I have driven my horses as far as an hour and a half to see him. He is located in Buellton (near Solvang--, one-half hour North of Santa Barbara) Good luck Bette and Bunny
