Ok am only replying to this because at the age of 4 they wanted to do this to my son and I said no! He is 15 now and the curled under toes are straighter than I can ever have imagined!My son tells me now he hated all the procedures, all the visits etc and I am so glad that anything that isn't lifethreatening to him we refuse! Not sure what your son's toes are like...we used silicone seperators for the toes and they gradually helped...but I thought, from what I'd been told that he would always have curly toes! Not so!
