Interesting that they have now found that Vitamin C kills drug-resistant tuberculosis in the lab! Linus Pauling....ahead of his time!

Hi CD,

I'm sorry to hear your daughter ended up progressing. Darn the luck. Hopefully today finds your daughter up and around and recovering nicely!

Thanks for coming back and updating, I...

Congratulations Kara! What a great accomplishment. :-)

So apparently, perhaps the Japanese researchers in the study posted above may have found a more universal gene possibility than at least the Utah Scoliscore researchers. Interesting.

I am not...

Flerc,

I'm sorry this forum has allowed people to be absolutely bullied and hounded off this site for over five years. My daughter was twelve and just diagnosed with scoliosis and had been...

Have a great time Dingo! How fun....I love eating there with the fireflies. :-)

You and Scott have a wonderful time, you both deserve it!

Here's a video that was on WSJ video regarding scoliosis treatments also.

Here's a pretty good article regarding treatment options for AIS.

Three interesting items:

1. "Munish Gupta, an orthopedic surgeon at Shriners who provides brace adjustments and advice on...

I agree with you completely flerc. Those kind of posts have been around for a long time and they are absolutely pointless. By the way, I want to commend you on your English skills. They have...

Exactly who is wildly pro bracing? Or who loves it? It simply is. Just as many other medical treatments are.

I have to say that many of the spine surgeons, including my daughter's and even my daughter's female dermatologist were engineering majors before they went to medical school.

I didn't need to be told that the researchers tested both races. That is pretty obvious.

I am more interested in the possibility that the genes discovered here in the United States weren't...

Perhaps you'd like to explain why the study that Dingo listed makes a point to say that it's the first gene to be associated with scoliosis across Caucasian and Asian races. That's what I'm asking. ...

This is very interesting. Were the potential scoliosis genes identified here in the United States only found in the race used by the researchers and not other races?

I would look into it too if I was still involved in that stage of scoliosis management. I'd make sure that they're actually removing the rod system at the end of growth and not fusing the spine at...

Hah! I should have guessed you were part Scandinavian! My dad is of Swedish heritage too. My grandpa was smart as a whip and created the most amazing things down in his basement, very quiet and...

The MAGEC system is also being studied for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis also at this time in Finland, Hong Kong and Italy.

The purpose of this study is to collect data on the use of the Ellipse...

The first two patients in the United States have been implanted with the MAGEC system on compassionate grounds at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego.

Apparently the Scandinavians have been busy lately actually figuring things out like the Danish p. acnes and back pain relationship study instead of defending their...

I'm so happy to hear that Scott is doing so well with his torso rotation exercises.

It would be wonderful if this could turn into a standard treatment at some point in the future with more study....

Hi,

Wow, the brace you have your daughter in gets the correction of a nighttime brace and it's worn all day? That's very unusual. Is it extremely tight or do your daughter's bones just reshape...

Hi Rohrer,

Thanks for posting the study. That's very interesting. I know that my daughter was able to correct her postural defects from scoliosis over the years of her night time bracing while...

Congratulations to your family, Bigbluefrog!!!

What great news. It seems like it was just yesterday that you came on the forum trying to deal with the brace and pump issues. I'm so happy it's...

Usually level 8 is the highest level in a ballet school with the most advanced dancers, although if you're doing RAD, I'm not sure that's the same. Most dancers never make it to level 8. If there...

Some moderate curves do progress, but most don't. This forum is not representative of the whole population.

Don't I remember a post from you a while back that said the surgeons were actually...
