Close Scoliosis
I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 14 and had to wear both a daytime brace and a nighttime brace through my freshman year of high school (can we say embarrassing?) I had an awesome chiropractor who used some sort of Eastern medicine technique. This pretty much alleviated all my pain. Last month ( at age 21) I noticed a new crease in my lower left back and went to the doctor who strongly recommends surgery and I am taking steps towards getting to that point, ie exercise and insurance
Treatments
- Brace Somewhat Helpful
- I can't say for sure whether or not the bracing helped as a kid, but I'm still progressing about a degree a year as an adult.
