Hi my daughter was just diagnosed with Scoliosis and i am scared to death. she has a 70 rotational curve i think that is right . and the first doctor we talked to wants to do spinal fusion and rods she is 12 and i am worried about all the pain and 50% of movement loss.. they said they would have to go down to the L3. I have been looking around on the internet and have come to terms with some sort of surgery for the degree of curve she has but i found something called VBT Vertebral Tethering.. does anyone know about this and the outcome? also if they could do it on a rotational curve? any advice or your own experience would be great . Thanks

I've been researching for my 15 year old son who has a much more moderate curvature but there's so much horible stuff online about braces and surgery and your child is just 12 so perhaps you can avoid surgery?  I am no expert but I was disappointed to see how there doesn't seem to be an agreed upon protocol to treat scoliosis..  I may take my son to this guy for 4 days in June:
