I'm not sure how this research relates to other studies listed on this forum--such as the study from India, but it is very interesting, none-the-less:

Linda, the post can go where ever you think it is most appropriate. I waited until I saw the study mentioned in many publications before I posted it here. The sample size is small but the source is...

I've read about this study on a variety of on line sites; here's the version from The Wall Street Journal:

Here's a recently published abstract: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2014, 15:263. The study looked at whether exercise increases the effectiveness of bracing. The conclusion: "Combining bracing...

There is a discussion of the Schroth approach in the New York Times, including the encouraging bit of news that the Hospital for Special Surgery is now using it. The url is long but you can also go...

Thank you for your good wishes, mariaf. I'm not anti surgeons. We met with B. Lonner twice and he had a broader response and seemed to be a little interested in other approaches to scoliosis. I'm...

I agree with Flerc that it is unfortunate that those who push surgery refuse to let others post without being attacked. I have pooka on an ignore status. Without that I would not be able to come to...

Flerc, I'm very interested in this topic. I don't have much of a scientific mind so I don't have analysis to add. But I follow your reasoning and your questions and I agree with your train of...

Thank you, flerc, as always, for your thoughtful posts. I, too, am frustrated by the lack of research into Scoliosis in general (scoliosis isn't even listed on ResearchCrossroads...

Thank you for posting. I'm not knowledgeable about this so I'm sorry that I can't answer your questions but I'm glad that you post and that you continue to present questions and ideas.

OK, OK, I know it's just a guppy. But the abstract holds somehope for research into...

We have a bar for my daughter. It helps with pain when she hangs upside down from her knees; does not seem to help when she hangs by her hands.

Thanks for this thread. It's answering a lot of questions for me.

Nell, I'd like to encourage you to file a complaint. There is no way that medical care will improve if uncaring or incompetent Drs are not called to task. The first Dr we saw for my daughter was...
