Carly's mom,
My situation is different from yours but I do have some suggestions. First of all, if there is a "mild chiari", then you need to have the MRI films seen by a good neurosurgeon who KNOWS about chiari. The chiari is often the cause of the scoliosis, and once that is treated it can help to stabilize or in some cases improve the scoliosis.
Some of the symptoms you describe may be attributed to Chiari and not to the scoliosis. Was the MRI brain and full spine? What else was noted on the report?
I am currently seeing Dr. Ouelette who is in Atlanta. He does have an office in Texas, but I am not sure exactly where. If you send me a private message, I will give you his information.
