Channel 5 Rhonda Mann's Scoliosis Story
I was glad to see a scoliosis story about an adult, but disappointed that they repeated the myth that scoliosis causes the lungs and other internal organs to be crushed. I don't believe I've ever seen or read evidence of that.
I wonder why the story made no mention of the National Scoliosis Foundation with its office just outside of Boston. There was no mention of the huge cost of this surgery. There was no mention of any of the new developments that are alternatives to surgery such as the Spinecor brace, the SOSORT worldwide group, yoga for scoliosis or the Schroth exercise methods.
