Initial Consultation with Dr. Stasikelis/Greenville Shriners

[Guest guest]

We just returned from our initial consultation with Dr. Stasikelis and

something he said really stuck out in my mind and it's all I can think

about. I was wondering if any of the other mothers in this group were

ever told this. He said that since the spine is being manipulated

during the casting procedure, that there is a small chance that a

child could be paralysed, has anyone ever been told this? I was so

shocked when I heard this that I didn't think to ask if that has

happened to any of his patients. Dr. S has been casting alot of

patients since he's been trained in the Mehta-style, but he has only

been doing this since August. I think I'm going to try to contact him

and find out more information. This really scared me!
