Wanting input re. in-toeing in 8 year old.

[Guest guest]

I am looking for input. I have an 8 year old boy pt. with a fairly

rapid onset unilateral toeing-in (it onset over a period of weeks).

The in-toeing is actually occurring at the pelvis/hip...and it is

about a 45 degree internal rotation. The lower leg is not involved (as

a cause) and the actual hip/pelvis look relatively fine

radiographically. What I am looking for is any theories regarding the

causation behind this. I am sure we have all read up on this

phenomenom at one time or another and therefore know that there is

scant info regarding causation and that the condition tends to improve

and nearly-resolve in most kids. I am taking my usual 'bread and

butter' holistic chiropractic wellness approach with this patient and

even though I feel that we are touching all bases I'd like some input.

Cheers.
