There is an alternative to bracing. See this website: http://www.clear-institute.org My daughter has been undergoing this therapy two years, and it works.
Jackie,
I am interested in knowing your daughter’s results and with whom she is seeing for care. I know many of the doctors who provide CLEAR treatment. I’m glad you found a treatment that works for her.
My 13 yr old daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis 3 years ago. I chose a proactive position and had her into physical therapy. In the beginning she had an increase in the curve over a year and a half -now approx. 22. It has remained approx 22 for the last yr and she has grown! She has been more aggressive in core strengthening exercises- every day. At our last visit the doctor measured her several times and kept referring to his notes. It was actually less then 22 but he would only write down “same” as last check up. He could not believe it was better! He wanted to brace her 1 1/2 years ago and I said no.
I would rather strenghten the core muscles than destroy them. The other important factor is we have been praying for it to be better!
