Question
The problem is one side of my body is smaller than other due to the bone structure.(leg and arm are 1-1 1/2 inches shorter than the other and etc.)

Do you believe it is plausible to grow mass and length in bones by increasing the use of that part of the body, placing stress on the bones themselves and using other methods to increase the amount of blood on that side? If not, do you have any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer
Dear Caleb,

Thank you for your question.  

Even though medical diagnosis is not a service that I would provide in my field, I would say to you that diagnosis under the best of circumstances is something of an art.  It would be irresponsible for anyone to give you a guess by e-mail or the web about your situation.  Diagnostic work and therapeutic advice is difficult enough when done properly.  It becomes a riskier proposition when done poorly.  

Whether it is POSSIBLE to create skeletal remodeling, regardless of the procedure or technique used, may not be as important a question as whether it SHOULD be done.  Unfortunately, that is not a question you should trust to the internet.  

You would be best served getting opinions from someone with first-hand knowledge about you, not a limited acquaintance through correspondence.  Anyone who is willing to speculate about your situation by e-mail is providing you little more than a guess and perhaps a dangerous one, at that!  

Caleb, I hope you understand the seriousness of this advice and seek appropriate information in person from a qualified provider.  

Sincerely,
James W. Healey, D.C.
