Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Our therapists know about each other and are fine with it. In fact, our chiro studied a little bit of CST. I would do the treatments at the same time since I believe that the chiro helps to maximize the benefits of the CST, but you'll have to see what they say tomorrow. Chiro visits tend to be a bit more frequent, especially at first, until things start getting in alignment. 's course went like this: CST a little before and for the first 4 months in the helmet. We started weekly and then went biweekly and then monthly. We stopped going from March until August, when we started going monthly again. We may switch to every other month after December. She started CST at 14 months Chiro was started at the end of August. We did three times weekly for 12 weeks and we are now down to once a week. I anticipate that we will always to "wellness" adjustments every few weeks just to keep things in alignment. The three times a week schedule was pretty intense, but was recommended because we were told that her case was severe (lots of misalignments). She started chiro at 24 months wore her helmet from 14.5 to 20.5 months so it looks like Andrey is nearly in the same situation as was. Good for you for getting going on the alternative treatments. Hopefully you will see the benefits that you want to. 's head has improvement dramatically since that first CST appointment. I can't say for sure how much was the helmet. I do see benefit from the alternative treatments after the helmet, but I don't have an official computer scan to document it. An additional side benefit to the alternative treatments is that is finally getting off of her reflux medication. We started a 33 percent dose on Saturday and she is doing well on it. This is the same child whose reflux caused a failure to thrive diagnosis at about 12 months. And, the same child who failed every attempt to take her off her medication, including one 3 months ago. , mom to , 27 months STARband grad May 2009 Chiro and CST land CST and Chiro? Hi everyone,Today we had our first appointment for CST. The therapist was very experienced and knowledgeable, she pointed out the problems and said fixed some of it. We have to follow up on Friday, and if everything is fine my son will see her every 3 weeks.Since some of you do CST and Chiro, I made an appointment for chiro tomorrow. My question is how do you visit the therapists- do you go in on different weeks, or have one full course with one and then the other? Should we go to the chiro tomorrow? I am afraid that the treatments will overlap or interfere. Do you tell them you do both? Our insurance wouldn't cover the CST, but may cover some of the chiro. Thank you in advanceGergana and and Andrey(14 months, severe brachy, 5 weeks in Hanger helmet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Our chiropractor knows about all treatments we've tried. We started with the chiropractor just before 12 months while waiting for the helmet. We've seen her 24 times in six months. Our helmet ortho does not know or care about the alternative treatments. We've tried two osteopaths. The first one we tried for 3 visits. She asked us to stop the chiro treatments and we did for a couple weeks. These treatments helped, but I liked our chiro better and switched back. Then we tried a second osteopath and have had 3 appointments so far. He was originally our top choice for osteopaths, but it took several weeks to get in. This treatment has helped smooth the bulge on the right side of 's head. We have not told him about the chiropractor. He disapproves of the helmet. I cut back on the chiropractor care since starting with this osteopath. I plan to take to the chiro soon though for her opinion on 's recent progression. -Kathy, mom to , 18 months, treated 6 months with Starband and alternative treatments wrote:  Our therapists know about each other and are fine with it.
