This is disappointing. thank you for your honesty

I developed thoracolumbar scoliosis during my pre-teens but my parents didn't know what scoliosis was, so we never got it checked out until a nurse at my high school noticed it. By that time I was told by my doctor that basically it was "too late" at age 17. All I could do was exercise and convince the surgeon why I should get "cosmetic" surgery at a young age. I was also told since the position of the disease I was at high risk of losing mobility and flexibility after surgery, so I was discouraged and devastated by the news and didn't do it. Exercise and lifting weights have helped with the chronic pain for years but the curve still worsens as I age (now 27). Chiropractic sessions and corsetting have helped ease the tension in my spine. Which makes my scoliosis appear "fixed" or improved but only temporarily, so I have to include it in my weekly routine. I'm really glad you posted this video with the truth because as much as I was told by my chiropractor that the disease can't be cured but managed. I still wanted to believe I can fix it due to my insecurities and the videos out there claiming they found the cure.

Weather you believe it or not, the vertebrae can reshape naturally

By the way I wanted to say a big thank you for your very informative explanation

Have you heard of CBP (chiropractic biophysics)? They use a combination of chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, and decompression tools to improve posture. I have seen before and afters X-rays of spines being straightened.

Sleep on a small bed pillow every now and then, on the convex side of the curve for stretching. Doing this for an entire night I find helps. And more importantly check your leg lengths. My left leg is a full 1” shorter than my right. It causes my hips to sit sideways. Which makes my spine curve and causes back pain, which has also caused herniated discs…. So. It might not necessarily be scoliosis and or your minor scoliosis might be exacerbated by your leg lengths. (The taller you are, the more likely your leg lengths are not the same!). For reference you can buy some super cheap but well made height booster inserts of various heights to put in your shoe (off Temu) buy a bunch of different types and sizes - I recommend UNDER the original insole). Obviously if your correcting leg length you only use the left or the right. Doing so has leveled out my hips. Helped my spine curvature…and reduced pain. Quite simply because my hips are more level when walking and standing. Chiro was like “ohhhhh don’t self diagnose”. And then afterward was like, yeah. Your right. Your left leg is much shorter than your right. Stand basically naked infront a full length mirror and stack books under your left or right heel to get your hips level if you suspect this is the case. Once they are level. Measure the height boost. Then hunt for inserts of that height. (I can’t do the full 1” as it won’t fit in my shoe).

Hello, I have also idiopatihc scoliosis since I was a teenager. Now I am over 30 years old and at all my X-ray of my spine (recents also), all the vertebras looks square and perfect. If you want I can send the images to you. How did you come to the conclusion that they are not square? Can you show us that on a x-ray?

Very informative. Thank you.

Hello, helpful video! I am 22 and assume to have skoliosis. You said that it can't be fixed,okay. But whenever I read smth about it,people say they gained height. Please be totally honest,is height gain normal and how much? I would like to know it regarding physio methods like Schroth therapie as well as surgical methods. Hope you will answer,thank you! And which height gain can I expect after treatment for a mediocre skoliosis?

Hello, i had a scoliosis at 14 with 17 degrees, then it worsened in two years and developed to be 19 degrees. Last week ive got it checked and it now seems to be only 8 degrees. Ive tried to look similar cases up but i havent found anything. how would that massive backwards development be possible?

I got scoliosis when I was around 19-20 years old, I'm 22 now. I stopped growing in height even before that. My spine was straight, i was training my whole life. Once i stopped training, in my case, some muscles got more stiff that the others, pulling the spine into scoliosis. Does that mean, since my spine stopped growing in height even before getting scoliosis, that i can fix it with postural/breathing/stretching exercises more likely than someone who got scoliosis while growing up?

Hi. What type of brace can help to try and reduce the convex and also can physiotherapy help in any way?? My nephew cries of pain what is causing the pain 💔

Although there are nights when I toss and turn thinking about my 13-year old's scoliosis and how to help her stop it from progressing - it's mild so far, 14 degrees - after hearing your soothing voice, I feel better. Thank you for your honesty and all the videos you're making for the public.

Thanks dr. I am from India I have scoliosis from age 12 , I am titled beocz of that , visited couple of dr. But evry saying it cannot be fixed. There is no pain becaus of scoliosis so that's why I didn't go for surgery. Can you suggest me some exercise to push that curve spine inward. Thanks for video

My right-convex thoracic scoliosis has a cobb angle of 8 degrees (not considered scoliosis as far as I know). My left-convex lumbar scoliosis has a cobb angle of 9 degrees (also not scoliosis). I am 20 years old. Is there any chance Schroth exercise can reduce my spinal asymmetry?

very informative. where is your office??

I'm so scared. I'm taking my 6yo for ortho assessment as a 20° curve was noted when we went to a new chiropractor. He already has low muscle tone so very worried this is only going to get worse. My baby 😞

Hello, I am a physical therapist (PT). Can I email you regarding the case of a scoliosis patient? I hope you can help me

Does having this impairs the brain & mine is at 10 degrees does that mean anything?

i had my first x-ray of my spine when i was 20 yo and i got scoliosis 24-26 degree. 6 years later i do the x-ray for the second time it increased to 32-34 degree, now im kinda worry for what gonna happen next because this video tell us exercises not gonna correct or reduce the scoliosis ;( . anyone can help?

i have mild thoracic scoliosis and also i just got my body checked and my left leg is 1 cm shorter than right leg can that be the cause of it? also is there any way i can fix my scoliosis it is said that i can gain like 1-3cm if i get it corrected. thank you

Look up Dr Loren Fishman on his research on Yoga to manage scoliosis

i have only a 10 degrees curvature and have stopped growing, do you think exercises could reduce this by even 1-2 degrees to the point it wouldn’t be considered scoliosis anymore ??

The best thing to do in oder to heal scoliosis is functional patterns.

If the scoliosis happens because of bad posture and muscles imbalance. can it fix?? Thanks a lot 🌹

Can the curve be reduced to an extent at least. To an extent where it wouldn’t be so visible

can osteoporosis be fixed without weights or stretch bands.

Bro, if I'm 15 and my scoliosis is not looking that bad (it just curved little, I think even less than 10-11 degrees) can I fix it a little bit? No one noticed it yet, so I thought it not that bad form

Are there exercises or stretches we can do to help with posture or relief as a older person near 28

If scoliosis happen after 28 old . it can fixed?

How can we talk to you ???

why. why why i. hate everything

Schroth method can reduce a curve

ok you cannot fix it , but that does not equal to it cannot be fixed
