Guest guest Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hello! My 13 month old was diagnosed with infantile scoliosis. Her curve went from 14 degrees at 6months to 44 degrees at 12 months. We do not want to do a brace and we want to avoid surgery if possible. Where we live there are no Mehta trained orthopedics in our state(as far as I know). Does anyone know anything about some of the orthopedics that do Mehta casting? I need all the info I can get and I need it fast. We are willing to travel wherever we need to for treatment. Thank you!
