Club Foot....discovering new methods

My son was born with a bilateral clubfoot. Here is your first picture of my child...to show what is a bilateral clubfoot.  If you notices his left foot and how it is position.

Getting read for his first bath ever

I went with the ponseti method for correcting his club foot and at 3 days old he was put into a cast.

Just home from getting cast, mommy cried more than he did.

On his  2 month birth date,  he went in for simple surgery where they used laser to stretch the tended. After surgery healed completely, I was suppose to put him in shoe bars on him and have him wear them all the time. This was at about 4 months.  For visual aid I will show what that is...

Not my picture something I found online

Now, I had him wear it for 1.5 days and for that 1.5 days he screamed the whole time, like in pain screamed, wouldn't stop except for when he passed out from crying. The doctor told me he would stop but needed to wear the device. I couldn't take it any more so I took it off, and  I took him to my chiropractor, was going to take him anyways as I felt the heavy cast on one leg would mess with his hips. After an adjustment I notice his foot was even more flexible than before, so I then sought bowman therapist and asked about stretching muscles and strengthening my son's foot. She taught me a simple massage that I needed to do 3 times a day to help stretch the foot. I though I will try this for a few weeks and see what happens. So, I took him for weekly chiropractic and bowman treatments and massaged his foot often. Without telling his club foot Doctor who was the expert in all of So Cal people drove hours to see him, I brought him to his appointment. The doctor examined him and was impressed with his range of motion, he also commented that he was surprised that my son was showing no hip problems, when I said I took him to a chiropractor, the doctor has not nice things to say about that so I didn't bother telling him the rest. That I wasn't using his contraption but was doing alternate ideas.  This was the first time, I sought other methods but still went to a specialist to see what they had to say...but it wouldn't be the last.

Here is an after photo of my baby at exactly 8 months (his specialist doctor said he wouldn't walk or wear regular shoes until at least 15 months, when we started with the contraption). Notice his left foot looks normal and is flat on the ground.
