Do manipulation and casting sessions hurt the child?
No. Depending on the child, they may cry because they’re irritated with people holding their leg, or they’re scared, but some kids don’t cry at all. It helps to bring a bottle for the baby to feed during casting sessions to draw their attention away from the casting process, also it may help the baby to relax when the doctor is physically examining the foot/feet. For older children, bring a few toys or give them a small flashlight to help distract them during the process.
