Hello @spinalstenosis @jax0673 @pennylg @polly38 and @palgravecharlie,

I'm delighted to welcome you all to Connect. For a start, I'm tagging Mentor @gailb who recently wrote about Hatha Yoga in the Chronic Pain group; you can view her post here:
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/welcome-please-introduce-yourself-welcome-to-the-new-chronic-pain-group-im/
I also found a recently published study that might interest you; the study discusses the benefits of practicing Tai Chi as therapy for many chronic pain conditions, including severe scoliosis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4850460/

I was wondering if anybody had some thoughts on other complimentary therapies, such as acupuncture, for scoliosis?

I want to say thank you to those of those giving input on Scoliosis. I asked a specialist about suggestions and was discharged as at my age (67) there is nothing can be done. I have not posted here as I know so very little myself. I do some Tai Chi, some Yoga. I have tried to find some type of support group or groups teaching what I mentioned. I also have fibromyalgia and do share there at times.
I have become discouraged trying to motivate myself and the feeling of not going any where other than further into pain...not meaning to sound pathetic.
