Recently, I took my 7 yr old son to the podiatrist because we found that he was walking on his toes quite often. During the exam the podiatrist recognized that one leg was shorter than the other. We took x-rays and it appears that the leg discrepancy is functional. Not formally diagnosed at this point with LLD, we have decided to see a Chiropractor and have adjustments performed. During the next appointment new x-rays will be taken to determine if the adjustments corrected the alignment of his pelvis/hips. If not, and a surgery is recommended, can someone tell me if its better to have a the podiatrist treating him or an orthopedic perform the surgery?
