Guest guest Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Great news! You are making the right decision. Our son Landon 17 months is also being treated there and can't say enough good things about our experience so far.-LeoSent from my iPhoneOn Dec 19, 2011, at 2:36 PM, "curtdennis2003" <curtdennis2003@...> wrote: Thanks for accepting us into this group, as our 14 month old has scoliosis and after meeting with doctors here in Columbus, OH and then doing research online, we decided we need a second opinion on treatment and find someone that was doing the proper casting and had the proper equipment.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 We are also from the Columbus area (Delaware, OH) and had the same experience after meeting with the doctors here, researching and finally decided to go to Erie. Our son was treated for about a year in Erie and then his doctor transferred to Rochester, NY and we followed him there for another year. Evan was 49 degrees at 12 months and was down to zero degrees at 3 years of age. He is now 5 and is still completely straight. His picture is under Evan in the Photo section. You are making a wonderful decision for your son. We are so happy our son was treated and cured through Mehta casting. Please feel free to contact me if you want to discuss the process, Erie, etc. Barb Mom to Evan > > Thanks for accepting us into this group, as our 14 month old has scoliosis and after meeting with doctors here in Columbus, OH and then doing research online, we decided we need a second opinion on treatment and find someone that was doing the proper casting and had the proper equipment.
