I just found this board and am very excited to hear others expressing what I deal with living with scoliosis.
I was diagnosed with scholiosis in the early 70's. I was referred to Dr. Bradford by an ortho surgeon who wasn't sure if I needed surgery or not. I traveled to Minneapolis to the University Hospitals and saw Dr. Bradford for many years. He put me in a modified brace and slowed the progress of my curves.
Is this the same Dr. Bradford now in CA? He is very professional and yet very personable. I am very thankful for his treatment and although I suffer more (age makes it worse!), I know I would have been much worse without his intervention.
I am thankful to have found this board and look forward to learning what more I can do to alleviate the pain of scoliosis.
