: Has anyone had success in using a chiropractor for children w/ Perthes?
I am 16 and was diagnosed with Perthes when I was 10, and was on crutches for four years. i have been going to a certain chiropractor for about 6 months now, and it has really helped my movement, running, and pain releif. I am very very active right now. I love sports and right now i play basketball and run cross country and used to be in pain, but i have made a much better recovery since going to the chiropractor. i think it will continue to help me reach my goals in sports, and lead to a healthy life in the future. I would recommend giving the chiropractor a try.
