Pola,
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything. I think I understand now that you were talking about the rotations. I am not too familiar with rotations and their numbers. In fact, I usually only hear people talking about their curves, not about rotations in numbers. Anyway, nobody has ever mentioned a rotation in Nicole's curve. But believe me, I will certainly ask about it in our appointment on the 28th. When Nicole bends down, one side of her back is higher than the other. Is that considered a hump?
The good news is that your Spinecor Doc is encouraged so far. That is wonderful. It will be interesting to see what your other doctor says in January. Anyway, just to change the subject a little, What is Christmas like where you live? Right now we have some ice and hail coming down. This is never fun. But we had some snow a couple of weeks ago so the kids were happy. Nicole sent Anastasia a picture of herself in her e-mail. I hope she got it. Take care and thanks so much for sharing your experience.

The plastic thingie is the scoliometer, don't know how it complies with x-rays, I believe, but I might be wrong, it only measures the horizontal rotation.
Gerbo, good luck with your appointement, would that be your daughters first? Let us know how it goes.
Melissa, does Nicole have a thoracic rotation? Do you see a hump when she bends down? I remember you mentioned her shoulder blade sticking out. That usually is caused by a rotation of the thorax.
Well, enough said, maybe I got everyone more confused but any comment on that will help me too!
