I have noticed this problem for about 3 years, and every year at his well check, I would ask the Dr about it. This year she finally was ready to refer him on to do something about it. So we made an appointment at Primary Childrens Medical Center with a specialist. She also thought that we should pursue treatment, and recommended a bracing specialist from New Jersey. Gratefully he comes to Utah a few times a year, and would be coming out a few months later. There were other providers and types of braces that he could have had, but they were very big, bulky, and not as effective. Cheaper, but not better. So we decided to have him seen by Joe at Pectus Services from New Jersey.
I had to take pictures so that Joe could make a brace in New Jersey, and then bring it out with him to Salt Lake for his appointment. It is pretty amazing that from the pictures we sent, he can tell how exactly to make the brace.
