I think there is evidence PT helps with pain.
I don't think there is evidence that Schroth is better for pain than other PT modalities. I don't see how the cost can possibly be justified.
Schroth was invented by a lay person to straighten curves. Her grandson, an orthopedic surgeon, tried for many years and with tens of thousands of patients to prove it works for straightening curves or even slowing curve progression. He failed. He now only uses braces for teens. He may still push Schroth for pain.
There may be some pubs on Schroth for pain but these studies are notoriously hard to do correctly and I would take them with a grain of salt. He the grandson orthopedic surgeon) has had to retract at least one paper on some aspect of Schroth, not necessarily pain.
