The Schroth method is helpful, but not a panacea. I have moderate scoliosis on top of osteoporosis & osteopenia and continue to have chronic pain. PT Sessions took place about every 6 weeks over the course of a year with daily home exercises (mine take about 15 minutes/day).
The treatments facilitate a better grasp of my actual posture and positioning in space, which leads to improved posture. But the damage is already done, and it will be a lfelong battle to stave off further progression of the curvature. Why healthcare professionals don’t intervene earlier to prevent this decline is so regrettable.
My Schroth PT has told me to seek a spinal pain specialist before continuing with further PT, as she has no magic bullet for me….😔

Yes, I am in the same position. I am wondering also how does the other organs in the body are effected by the curvature. You would think that doctors would recommend a CAT scan to see how the other organs in the body reacting? I am going to request it when I see my primary. I know my body functions differently. I requested a CAT scan previously from a male primary I had a couple of years ago, and he did not think it is necessary. I want to know. Our medical health insurance is horrid where I live, Pima County, AZ.

Good to know. It’s frustrating as you mention, that there has been no good treatment or program for deterring it when first diagnosed. I read the response from the person who had surgery and found such relief. We just keep our ears turned to what others have experienced. We are all different and may respond or not accordingly. I guess thinking positively and praying about it seems to be the best options. No giving up even though it feels like that’s the only option. I’m sure it is not
