Survey: Best CT office for older baby?

[Guest guest]

All,

We have an older baby (~16mo) and we'd like to get a consultation with a CT

clinician; it sounds like some CT offices are more okay with banding older

babies than others, and we have to travel to an office in any case, so we're

interested in finding out which offices are the most receptive to trying with

older babies. Also, if there are any which aren't receptive that we should

avoid. We realize we may not get a huge improvement, it's not a really severe

case, but we'd like to try to mitigate the asymmetry as much as we can.

(We're closest to the Pasadena and San Diego offices and have spoken with them,

they seem pretty friendly so far.)

Thanks,

I think you'll just have to go to the one closest to you and start from there.

The evals are free. I wouldn't say one office in general is better than any

others. CT as a whole is more likely to band an older baby (mine included, 17

months out of Charlotte) than almost all other band companies, it just depends

on your situation, if they feel it will work for you baby. I'm surprised by

's earlier comment about her experience at the CT in Virginia, because

that's the first I've heard of CT discouraging banding an older baby based

solely (seemingly) on the age. So I think that's definitely not the norm. What

did the CT offices say when you called? Do you have an appointment for an

evaluation? (More importantly, do you have a prescription from a doctor, because

that's really the first step in the whole process).
