The Orthopedic was very nice and informative.....we learned so much today...finally have some answers....
They took more radiographs, from the pictures her lower lumbar curve improved from 28.5 degrees to 25 degrees. The Ortho stated that her left leg is same length as right...good news. She is borderline for a brace....he rec waiting 3 months since she improved.
Then get a brace. I feel relieved to have some answers. She is still growing so change can happen.
I feel good that we have been doing those core exercises, it may have helped correct the hips alignment....anyway pictures look better.
ITs not a perfect angle...and so we will continue to do core exercises with balance. I also use an invert back board to help lengthen the back.
I still want to look into PT for her, leaning toward Schroth therapy.
