Who's going to do the testing? In terms of Schroth, there is some evidence that it helps, at least on a temporary basis. The thing we don't know is what happens to these patients over the remainder of their lives. That's true of all treatments. How do we ever know if something works unless someone tries and evaluates it over time?
For what it's worth, scoliosis is rarely, if ever, an emergency.
