Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Marlene: I didn't see anything in the literature, but acupuncture may possibly help. My acupuncture teacher said it is possible to help kids with Cerebral Palsy, as my niece has lost the use of her right side and we discussed the possibility of treating her. You would have to find a good acupuncturist to go this route, and the younger the child the better chances of success. Personally, I suffered from slight spinal curvature since childhood. A few months of weekly acupuncture helped to straighten out my spine somewhat, and I'm middle-aged, having misspent my youth on the jogging trails. So maybe this is possible with your daughter.
