- Re: plagio, tort, and chiropractic

[Guest guest]

I have done it all with my son, . I used a chiropractor but he

did mostly soft tissue work with him (no adjustments) and it worked

wonders. He is also in physical therapy 3 times per week but I did

see significant progress after each visit with the chiro...even the

PT's recognized it. I agree with regarding the plagio....The

therpy is not going to improve the head shape. has the DOC

band and it has just been wonderful. His head is much rounder and

he doesn't mind it at all.

I hope this helps. Where are you located?

Dawn and in So Cal
