I'm looking for any feedback non-surgical treatments for scoliosis -particularly the Pneumex system - which does not involve bracing; the STRS (Copes) bracing system; and the SpineCor bracing system. From what I've gathered, they are very expensive (for example, the SpineCor chiropractor went over the costs: $350 consult, $500 x-rays, $500 for a neurological test; $3500-$4000 for the brace, depending on which one). Lots of money to spend without knowing if I'm going to get any results. I went to a chiropractor for 6 months when I was in my 20's with absolutely no benefit, I'm leery of any claims I hear today. So, any input at all would be greatly appreciated - positive or negative.
I am 48 years old with a double major curve (top being ~90 degrees, lower ~70-80 degrees) - never had surgery, just the Milwaukee brace as a teenager. No pain, but notice the curve more lately, especially when I see myself in photographs (I always lean).
Any information at all would be so much appreciated.
