any non-traditional therapies for Spina Bifida?
I'm looking for new/experimental treatments for Spina Bifida patients. My son, age 3, is a level T12, and is having problems with muscle tone especially.
We had to wait 4 weeks for new hkafo's, and in the mean time the muscle at the top of the right leg & hip has gone into a tight spasm, making it impossible for him to get into the brace.
I'm desperate to keep what he has without surgery.
I once read that there is a clinic in Hungary (I think) which does alterntative treatments for neuro/ortho patients with good results. I can't remember the name though. :(
His father lives in the U.K. right now, but is also an Italian citizen. So any of the Western European countries or USA would be good for us.
Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you know of anything.
Thanks!
Anna
re: any non-traditional therapies for Spina Bifida?
My knowledge of the benefits of this therapy are sketchy at best, but the use of Cranio-Sacral or Sacro-Occipital Therapy in the USA, may be of benefit in helping your son. For more information go to the webpage Upledger.com for the Cranio-Sacral Therapy and they wil have means of communicating with practitioners who can help you. The SOT may be found through the chiropractiv associations web page. Good luck
