So, my friend whose daughter saw the chiropractor (the one I mentioned

last

week) got in to see her pediatrician. They kind of talked down to her about

S curve and basically recommended waiting and watching. I told her that

it's typical and recommended she see someone trained in early intervention

just to be sure she's getting the best possible information out there. She

finally convinced them to do a scoliosis panel of x-rays. The chiropractor

told her that their x-rays showed lordosis of the lower spine with a

corresponding kyphosis of the upper spine (he used different terms) and then

an S curve as well. I am also pretty sure she has a good amount of rotation

because I can see her shoulder blade protruding on the one side.

They're military and hitting a lot of dead ends. I explained that she

needed an MRI to determine if it was congenital or idiopathic and she said

they are really awful about MRIs - their pediatrician won't order one for

her and they refer them out to a very slow facility. She also cannot get

copies of her own x-rays and has to fight for these things.

She is in Texas now, but moving soon because her husband is completing

training. I've recommended she join the group so that you locals and those

of you who have kiddos with scoliosis can offer some more experienced

insight. But, until that happens, do you have any ideas? Someone on her

homeschooling group recommended ish Rite, and obviously I recommended

Shriners. Do they do MRIs at Shriner's? She is really concerned about not

having a referral to even get a doctor to look at her daughter. I told her

I'd find out exactly who to call. Can she just call an ortho trained in ETP

without having a referral or an MRI or x-rays? My experience was a little

different.

Is there anything else I can do to help her get through this? My heart is

breaking, hearing the way she's been treated. Her husband is in training

right now and far from home, and I just can't imagine going through all of

this alone. She's so lost and trying to find her way in this mess with a

new diagnosis.

Thanks

We are firm believers in the ish Rite's doctors! Oh goodness! They have

done miracles in our daughter's very difficult situation! There was nothing

other people could for her and they did give her another chance at life. I would

not doubt for a second to recommend people to them! They are the greatest!

Nobody knows how wonderful they are until they try them! To me they are truly

the quiet professionals. They are not out there talking about themselves and

what they do every day. They are absolutely, indeed, very knowlegeable and kind.

Believe me when I tell you that our daugther is where she is today, thanks to

GOD and ish Rite! Everyone at the hospital shows commitment, care, respect

and love for the children adn their families.

Please give them a try!

Sincerely,

Esther

Re: Help again for my friend's daughter

Sandi,

ish Rite is where goes. They are not ET trained,but as you might know

we have had GREAT results. 's doc along with others, I am sure, are very

aware of Ms. Mehta's techniques. Where they may not have lots of experience with

infantile scoliosis,but they do have TONS of experience with older kids. I would

send her that way........especial ly if they will have a hard time getting stuff

done with the military. The only Shriner's in Texas are in Houston and

Galveston. I might be wrong, but I thought the Galveston Shriner's is more or

less for burn victims. The Houston location is not ET trained either. I don't

think....... .I am sure Tracey could tell us for sure.

Please feel free to email me privately if you have question about ish Rite

or if she would like to.
