Here is the website of a non-invasive intensive scoliosis program.
http://scoliosiscorrectioncenter.com/index.html
Since my last visit to this site, their medical studies have been updated. Although they have a bogus testimonial where a patient says she got rectal cancer from Harrignton rods among many other unrelated disorders (I think that has been discussed here before), they seem to have "updated" some of their dogmatically incorrect statements.
Just curious if there are any "real" success stories out there. This website still uses the term "Harrington rod" quite liberally, which clues me in that they are not up on the latest surgical tecniques. Anyway, I am curious to see if anyone has gone here and what their outcome was. This is not intended to be an argumentative question, so please, no one attack those that reply with their results. Just straight forward, as many people do not have any desire for surgery. I'm very skeptical because of the medical knowledge that I do have, but if I were 20 years younger, it might have been something that I would have tried (because my curve isn't huge) had I heard about it. I feel like I am too old to waste my time on these long-term, intensive, and probably painful therapies. I am scheduled to see my surgeon on Monday to see if he will do surgery (not that surgery isn't painful, duh). For those of you who choose alternative care, best wishes to you. I'm finally getting my daughter to address the FACT that she has scoliosis when she came to me last night with a backache, again. IF there are success stories out there, this might be something that she would consider. She's afraid of other strategies, so I am a person caught on both sides of the fence so to speak. I'm more the medical approach, she would rather try alternative treatments. She already stated that she would NOT wear a Spinecor brace, but I think she is a good canditate, being that she is young, 20, and has a small curve (lumbar to mid-thoracic backward S as she called it).
Sincerely,
Rohrer01 Just wanted to take the thumbs up sign down... I'm not convinced of this method at all.
