It looks like they posted my comments above twice...

hdugger:

Our orthopedic surgeon did measure the exact same angles as CLEAR, immediately both before and after treatment, so that was reassuring.

Hi Dawn! I'm glad you posted! It is good to hear from other CLEAR patients and parents. It sounds like you are having a wonderful experience with CLEAR! I am so happy for you and your daughter! ...

OMG, you took the very words right out of my mouth! That is exactly what we thought about her sitting. Our daughter is always sitting in a sort of off-kilter, squiggly drooping slouching sideways...

That thread did not work, it said "no thread specified", so I did not read your old thread. Can you sum up your for us? My 13 yr old daughters scoli progressed unexpectedly rapidly at one point,...

Very well said hdugger!

Yes, everything you say about having your own opinion and this is America ( & the rest of the free world on the Internet) is true of course. There is no doubt about that. But it seems you are...

No Linda, these are both highly esteemed medical doctors, both orthopedic surgeons who should know what the heck they are talking about. Why the discrepancy? And who is the average patient supposed...

It is not for someone else to say whether you wasted your money on a treatment. Look, there is no cure. Even if you spent money on some alternative treatment & it didn't work, it still does not...

Hi vansuper. Yes, I have tried Clear. If you would like more info, please send me a private message.

I meant we've gotten different measurements and conclusions from different doctors. For example, one doctor (orthopedic) looked at her growth plates and actually said she was almost done growing. ...

Medical doctors, too, sometimes charge even more exorbitantly with no guarantees.

I mean very highly recommended and credentialed orthopedic surgeons, not chiros or anything else.

Wow, I am really shocked at the negative and hurtful comments that have been posted in reply to your first comments! A fair amount of people on here seem to poo-poo any idea that is not set in...

I would love to try the Schroth techniques next. There seems to be some positive aspects about it. But from what I understand, it will cost thousands more to get proper training with that. I...

Once she becomes skeletally mature, I would like her to continue it a little longer ( a year or two) because from all that I've read, these curves can still increase, even for the rest of their...

Doc said she was not skeletally mature yet. He said she is a Risser 2. Two yrs ago he said she was a Risser 0. I am surprised that he doesn't think she is Risser 3 or more, because she is...

I suppose others could interpret it differently. I suppose we will have to see what it is like in 6-12 months. We are hoping.

:)As I previously mentioned, in April '10 my daughter's angles were were 25T 16L. In July, she was measured at 33T 18L. Since April, they had gone up 6-7 degrees in 3 1/2 months. So it looked like...

[QUOTE=MissEmmyF;81403]Yes, it totally depends on your health insurance, but it also totally depends on how the schroth facility submits their billing. I researched Scoliosis Rehab Center in WI...

Well, I take her in for XRays in a week or so. I will post the results here. Wish us luck!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Hi Kidbusiness2. I am constantly worried about if my daughter will have constant pain in the future. It rips me apart just to think about it. I'm sorry to hear that your curves progressed. What...
