Hello everyone, I just found out that my 12 yr old has Scoliosis. Our Chiropractor said she got it from a sports injury from a month ago. She was swinging her bat at a batting cage and she heard something snap in her back. She was in escrushiating pain. Sorry cant spell LOL...She said it hurt to breath. So I took her to the doctors that night and they told her it was a pulled muscle. I noticed that night she was walking crooked but just thought it was from her muscle being pulled. Well the pain finally went away after a week but then slowly started getting worse again. She had been complaining for the past week that she couldnt breath. I thought it was because she was conjested from a cold. Then she started saying her back was hurting really bad and she couldnt get up out of bed. So I let her stay home on Friday. Well I finally told her to let me see her back and I looked at it and noticed her spine was curved. I didnt really think much about it being scoliosis I was just thinking she must have something else wrong. So we went to this same doctor and this time they actually didnt do the xrays like they did the first time they asked her to bend over and touch her toes. She could only been over half way and right away the doctor goes "shes got scoliosis" I freaked! So I said ok and called my husband right away to let him know and told him to call our Chiropractor and tell him immediately so we could come in. So he called and they said bring her in right away. When we saw the Chiro my husband said the look on his face said it all! He even told me that my daughters back did NOT look like this the last time we saw him. It has been a few months since we last went. So he is also worried because he said their are two types of curves I guess one that goes to the left and one that goes to the right, he said hers goes to the right. He said the right one is the worse one!!! So now my husband and I are both freaking out now! He did an adjusment on her on Friday and he wants us back in on Monday. He also wants us to get more xrays so he can see where he needs to fix. Im assuming he will be seeing us at least 3 times a week. I know its not about money with him because he knows we wont have insurance for a few months so he is seeing us for FREE! This place is awesome. Any thoughts or suggestions I would really appreciate. Thanks so much Also, my daughter would love to hear from any children her age so she isnt so worried. She is really worried she wont be able to play softball again. Thanks so much!
