Does anyone have a child with a 70 degree curve or higher? Is it

unusual for a curve to be this severe?

Hi Tammy

Whereabouts in Canada are you? We are in Vancouver, BC and my

daughter has a 45* curve, being treated with serial casting while we

look into the VEPTR for her.

Chat soon

So we're not too close then LOL!

We couldn't persuade our ortho here in Vancouver to give Casting a

shot. He wanted to continue with bracing, though her curves were

increasing, (she wore the brace 23/7 and her highest curve went up

to 45 degree's). Instead of fusing her spine at 12 yrs old, he said

that she would need a fusion done at 8 YEARS OLD!!!

That's when we decided that travelling would be a better option for

us!

The closest doctor we found that was willing to try Corrective

Serial casting was Dr D'Astous in Salt Lake City. We've been seeing

him for nearly two years now. We all love him, so to us it's well

worth it!

Oh, and my daughter is 6 yrs old now.

Good luck Tammy.

Hey

Unfortunately, Tammy and I are from opposite ends of Canada, which

is a shame, coz I know what you mean about connecting with people -

It IS so important!

Looking forward to seeing you soon and Eliana!

Hugs
