Greetings
I have had an s curve (48/50) . My hips are slightly rotated and one is higher then the other. Same thing with my ribcage and my shoulders. I was diagnosed late and my bones had already fused and I stopped growing. I was told wearing a brace would be ineffective at that point. For as long as I could remember I have had back pain. Somedays it was a dull ache that I ignored and other days I was in so much pain all I could do was lay flat on my back. If i stand for too long or walk to long especially in cute but bad for you heels, or sit in an unsupportive chair, i feel pain. I thought i was just my burden to bear bc Surgery scared me and Im not one for pain killers. I always worked out to some degree but not that seriously. Then one day I was given the gift of sessions with a personal trainer. This person Was very experienced with back problems and put me on a schedule of weight training with moderate weights catered to make specific muscles stronger. Pretty soon I noticed my back hurt less and less and I was standing up straighter. I didn't just back muscles, i strengthened all muscles in my body like legs and abs Ect. Very slowly I increased the weights and continue to push myself. I have been doing this for a few years now and was told to keep it up by the dr. I am careful not to over do it and I don't do anythin stupid or extreme and if somethig doesnt feel right I stop immediately. Not every exercise is right for every person. Weight training also contributed to losing weight and this also was probably a reason my back hurt less bc there was less pressure on it. I wanted to share my story and hope this can give direction to some others. Chiropractic didn help me and it's not for everyone. Massages are great too. We don't have to live with pain just bc we elect not to have surgery. Does the work for anyone else? Don't be afraid to try it
