Welcome to you, I wish that pt or chiropractor would help our hipbabies, but unfortunately the only thing that will really make a difference and fix your...
I do agree that the 55 seems high, especially since all of the treatment that your daughter has had. Is he expecting her hip to get better on its own? Have...
