I shared this good news with my Schroth patients via email, but I am so encouraged I want to spread the word. Yesterday, I got another happy call from the father of a sixteen-year-old scoliosis patient who worked very hard in my office and at home. They had just received the results from x-rays taken only yesterday morning. Since learning Schroth last summer, J has reduced her right thoracic curve from 29º to 20º and her left lumbar curve from 37º to 21º.
Results like these truly re-invigorate me regarding Schroth and Scoliologic™. It is still hard for me to understand why more people do not try Schroth. Sadly, many are unaware, but others are simply skeptical. I understand the skepticism, but consider the traditional methods for treating scoliosis.
The results from J’s x-rays are even better than I had hoped since she is at bone maturity. She actually increased her height a bit and I attribute that to the scoliosis correction since her last x-rays in October.
To the doubters, yes she still has scoliosis, but I never promise reduction. Be careful if someone does! The primary goal of Schroth is to halt scoliotic curve progression with the possibility of reduction. A decrease from moderate scoliosis to mild, in a girl whose scoliosis progressed in both a hard and soft brace, shows that the Schroth alternative can work. My belief in the positive effects of Schroth is reinforced daily. J is a real success story. Check out the x-rays for yourself:
