[tri-med] Re: dislocating joints

has the father-in-law osteo checked it out?  kam goes to her osteo for 
manual therapy when she has dislo9cation issues.  he works on her shoulders, 
hips, knees as they all dislocate.  the hips and shoulders dont seem to hurt 
her as much as her knees do.  she wears braces for her knees.  we tried 
taping for her shoulders but it didnt work.
