indirectly yes (emotionally)
directly no

I feel the same way about chiropractic too or any other alternative

And of course as you know - my experience is with myself and with Maia....

we did many alternatives but none of them would have helped her nerves regrow and none of them could stop the muscle imbalances, contractures from occurring

the homeopathy helped her stay more stable emotionally

it was a lifesaver at certain times - especially times when she was in serious pain

I think chiropractic directly affects some of the secondary muscualture imbalances and so forth directly related to BPIs ands may also enhance the nerve growth that occurs naturally...I also think adding huge amounts of fishoils and other EFAs enhance the body's ability to grow nerves too...something I havent heard mentioned in a while...maybe I should copy this over and start a subject line...think Ill do that

My child has not needed the mod-quad or primary but was evalauted for the Capodeleis based on a concern about her shoulder. If it had fornmed a socket and if her arm was in. Luckily the results were good and they are watching her for another 15 months but I assume if the MRI had been bad she could have been reccomented to have the shoulder work even though she had not had anything else. Also I heard some peopme have the mod-quad after the cap as problems crop up after. Interesting HUH. I think each surgery is based on function and a chance to improve it.
