Pars fractures can heal if there is healing potential but many of these fractures do not heal in spite of brace treatment. Pain from these fractures can originate from the fractures themselves or from the disc if the disc has been injured (not uncommon).

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend anyone in the Atlanta area (not that there are not good doctors there but I am unaware of who has experience with this disorder and pars repairs).
