Hi! Basically I've been subjected to quite a bit of quackery in my life(well 25yo).
There's been a guy who charged 100$ for a bit of massage and claimed that he could cure scoliosis(or anything for that matter). That guy convinced my father to pay, but in the end I guess he understood that he's a quack. Then there's been this woman(another quack) who actually does massage, but yet again she claimed that she could cure scoliosis with the help of her daughter(psychic). In fact that young quack claimed that she could read the % of calcium in my bones. But I was in school back then, so don't judge me! Yet I continued to get massage from that chiropractor for some years. In the end I allowed her to manipulate my spine to lessen the curve(that was stupid of me). Basically that meant that she mounted on my back with her legs. She's quite heavy. Besides there have been some other manipulations but I don't remember. Anyway, could this have damaged my spine somehow? Is it possible to get damaged as a result of such "malpractice"? Unfortunately I don't have any older x-rays because my parents didn't consider that its necessary. You see in their opinion doctors are bad, they want to deceive and lie to people... Anyway this is such a shame. I might have tried schroth therapy when the curve was ~50 degrees, but they took me to the quack...
I can only suspect that the curve has progressed after maturity. And I didn't receive a proper warning because I didn't go to a proper doctor. Because I believed the quack that the curve is stable....
So a warning to everyone - don't allow yourselves to be deceived by greedy immoral quacks! Not even when your parents believe in them.
