Usually surgery is indicated but you can use specialised shoes which are higher then other. It is made to compensate the length issues. That are special in their measurements. It is preferable option.

yes, this is possible. if you are from Fsd you can visit after proper assessment I can guide you exercises for this and if needed prosthesis may be prescribed
1. u Should work on leg muscle strengthening and range of motion.
2 . if child is not able to walk then , u can use walking aids.
3. if child is able to walk then make his customize orthosis ( shoe for balancing the height of both legs) AND WALK.
4. IN the beginning thoroughly supervise the child for training. if he feel confident than make him walk on his own.
5. u can also use silicon heel pad
Treatment depends upon the cause of LLD.
Physical examination is required to find out if it is caused due to muscular problem or bone and joint has some abnormality.
Muscular cause can be treated by physiotherapy sessions.
If it is due to bone / joint abnormality. Prosthesis would work great as you said only 1" discrepancy is seen.
Firstly, visit your nearby physical therapist.
you need proper assessment.
Maybe your doctor suggest special shoes or shoe insoles, accordingly.
you can visit my clinic...
first visit my clinic or any senior physiotherapist for proper diagnosis the patient nd better treatment option

leg length discrepancy is usually congenital
U can use high In shoes and orthosis and physical therapy muscle techniques
Surgery is also an option in case of significant difference

it may be due to the sacroiliac joint dysfunction in which abnormal rotation can cause leg length discrepancy
you need proper assessment...and don't worry it will be manageable..frst try conservative management...
Assessment is mandatory we can not say anything before
First need proper assessment the reason behind it and secondly if there is a muscle contracture then physiotherapy is helpful otherwise use insole.
assessment is needed .
if x-rays are normal then there are chances for muscle contractures causing leg length discrepancy.
