Hello,
I went for my first appointment a few weeks back and the doctor recommended me to go for a MRI scan, which is scheduled this Thursday (2 more days for me) after my first xray.
After taking the xray and measuring the curve, he said that it's near 40 degrees and would recommend me for surgery if it continues to worsen.
So I'm 17, soon 18 (in December) currently, what other options do I have? I'm thinking of trying chiropractic after my second appointment (which is scheduled 2 weeks after my MRI scan) depending on what my doctor says. I'm referring to this: http://www.orchardclinic.com/chiropractic/scoliosis.php
I'm living in Singapore and there's no local forum mainly about scoliosis so I'm coming here since there's a larger community.
I've read about articles saying what to avoid doing, but some seems contradicting. For example, some say that swimming may help in scoliosis, but some says the opposite.
Is there any full list of what not to do (and perhaps even what not to eat)?
Thanks!
