Hi everyone I read posts periodically but do not post often but thought I would like to ask all of you your opinion on what my daughters options could be. She is 18 and we have known she has scoliosis since she was 12. She has a 30 degree lumbar curve. She also as a level one spondlyo lethysis( Im not sure if I spelled that correctly. Her curve has not gotten any worse in the last 3 years. And her doctor does not recommend surgery. Here is our problem. The rotation has gotten much worse. I do not know the degree of the rotation. But she now has a very prominant rib hump and the other side is very indented because of this. We do not really want surgery but the look of her back really has gotten terrible. It did not look bad at all before the rotation began. I am aware that surgery is not usually suggested for a moderate curve but what about the rotation? She does have pain. She exercises alot to stay in shape and does alot of stretching exercises. Sorry this is long but what are our options to treat the rotation. What complications can occur because of the rotation? Thanks for your help. I just thought I would throw in that her gymnatics is what we think caused this problem.
