Re: We have an appt with UCSF Orthotics - Looking for insight

[Guest guest]

Hi Ana,

We went to CIRS in Palo Alto a few years ago. At the time I don't

remember hearing about UCSF. I've only heard about them the past year

or so, therefore I would ask about home much experience they have,

what kind of results you can expect... Also CIRS can always be a back

up if you don't like UCSF. I think they both use Starbands.

Also I would say with a 4 mo old baby and a decent ortho a band is

guaranteed to work. It might not correct the problem 100% depending on

the situation, but it will make a big difference. You'll still need PT

for the tort, since the band won't help with that.
