I'm with Leah on the danger of all the xrays. The benefit of any conservative treatment *should* last long enough that it can be picked up during her regular exams. If you have to measure the effect 5 minutes afterwards in order to show any result, I wouldn't consider that an effective treatment.
On the head forward stuff, we also found that addressing my son's head forward posture was really helpful. His treatment cost $225 altogether (3 visits to our massage person at $75 per one-hour session; plus exercises and stretches that he does at home every day), and she managed to get him from having his head 4 inches in front of where it should be back to 1 inch in front of where it should be. He's held that improvement for over a year now.
I don't know how important the head forward stuff is on the curve itself, but it was a huge help in how he felt physically and how he felt about himself mentally.
If anyone is interested, I could probably get my massage person to describe generally what she did, in case someone else has a massage therapist they trust and want to try it.
