Hello and thank you to everyone for this wonderful message board. I have stumbled upon this in my web searches for scoliosis care and am amazed by how similar what I have gone through is to what I have read.
I was in a brace for a year at age 14 and had surgery at age 15 (2 harrington rods from right below neck to L4 or 5...not really sure). I am 29 now.
The reason I have been looking up info about scoliosis is that a year after my surgery I was "fully released" from my doctor's care and I have not been checked since. Last week I decided to go to a chiropractor and the first thing she had me do was take x-rays. They seemed pretty normal to me, but I have discontinued chiropractic care and plan to see a scoliosis specialist I have found here in town.
I am really impressed as to how much you all know about your backs, and am feeling like I have neglected mine. I find it odd that I have not been having regular check ups on it, and was curious to how much most of ya'll get your backs check?
I already appreciate all of the information I have found here...Thanks!!!
