Leg length discrepancy
Does anyone have experience with this in toddlers?
I guess my question is, is him seeing a chiropractor a good idea? I've have back problems and seeing the chiropractor got addictive. I just don't want to make the wrong decision on his care. His pt didn't say anything about him seeing a chiropractor
I started bringing my daughter to a pediatric chiropractor when she was 3 weeks old. Many women, in the hospital I delivered in, had their chiro's come right to the recovery room. There's a lot to be read in the field of SIDS research and chiro adjustments. If you're not totally against it, it's a very healthy, non-invasive form of health care.
I have one leg shorter than the other. It resulted in pretty severe scoliosis. Which causes me back pain and a lot of neck pain. Which causes me frequent headaches. I see a chiropractor every week. The shoe lift is a good idea. Make sure he uses those. Until he stops growing at least. A chiropractor can help keep things in line while he grows. Look for a pediatric chiropractor. There is really nothing to be concerned about. But if it comes to needing a back brace I would definitely do it sooner than later and be strict with it. That's one of my biggest regrets.
He won't grow out of. I would take it pretty seriously. His body will overcompensate for the leg discrepancy and the scoliosis will get worse.
??? I'm sorry.
