My primary didn’t really have much to say about this disease. I’ve learned more on this site about possible treatments. The physical therapy that I’ve had on and off over the past 4 years hasn’t helped at all. Since I’m exploring PT specifically designed for scoliosis I think traditional back therapy could be detrimental. I don’t know it for sure but traditional therapy seems to want to move me in ways that are the opposite of what I’m going to try. Looks like trying to align the spine in a counter position makes more sense but I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll let you know how it goes. The spine can’t be shifted at this point but movement in the opposite way of the curvature seems to make sense. Just being aware of my posture helps. When I’m tired I can realize how much I’m favoring the pain and then I coach myself to stand and walk straighter. Strange as it sounds, when I straighten myself it does relieve the pain somewhat. It’s just hard to do when I’m tired which this whole thing does to me.

I am the same. I walk talk and try to stand up straight. It does feel better. My stomach feels better when I do that. They say this can effect your digestion pushing everything in the wrong place.
