Hello to everyone,
My son is 11 and was diagnosed with congenital scoliosis. One day he was fine and then in a matter of about two weeks he had a 65 degree turn in his back. He is going to be treated at Scottish Rite Hospital here in Texas. My problem is this, he is very active in sports. He now has around an inch and a half difference in leg length and when he runs, he sometimes forgets to lift his leg higher and trips himself. He will have surgery next year to fuse his spine so that it doesn't get worse but for right now, I am wanting to see about getting him shoes made that will make up the leg length difference. There doesn't seem to be any information out there - can anyone help?
Thanks
Sharon
