wrt scoliosis correction.. one way i found out abt recently is chiropractic.. i'm currently undergoing a 6mth chiropractic treatment program.. really hoping that it'll help.. but i cant tell yet bec i'm halfway thru the program.. and you really wouldnt know for sure whether it's effective until after you see the before and after x-rays..

Chiropractic treatments does wonders for spine problems. My spondylosis problem hs greatly improved n my heart arrythmia problem solved. Has tried several other treatments but none worked like chiropractic.

Hihi, what's the diff between osteopathic and chiropractic? I've been to the Tanglin one that XiaoAi mentioned before but that was 7 years ago and while my degree was around 40 degrees it didn't get to almost balance even with concurrent acupuncture treatments.
And because it was so expensive, I stopped going after 3 months. Now my back's distortion is still very much obvious and I've been thinking to go back to it (just the osteopathic though, the acupuncture was painful cause they poke the needles into ur spine and twist it around =X).
So was wondering what's the diff between chiro and osteo? TIA~ =)

I ve scoliosis and was found out at 1984 when I was 13yo. If not I had engaged in a fight, it would be discovered much later. Very dramatic huh?
I have a harrington rod in me fr e collar bone till the end of the spine. Therefore ve to give up my fav track & field. Cannot personally received my 2 medals! Ughh......
Depression sets in as I was not able to live the life I planned earlier. Not to count in the mockeries,ridicules & hurtful statements that I received from strangers & non strabgers. Well educated and non educated.
Retributions maybe! Must chant more buddha.
I had 3 children, 1 natural birth with suction & 2 c-sections. Wanted to deliver all 3 naturally but cannot,boh bian! I almost lost my 2nd baby during birth. Felt like a failure! He was really small,oni 2.1kg. Now a thin white 4yo boy.
Anyone had rod installed(don't know the correct term)in their back? Curious to know.

Beware, they charge $45 if you miss the appointment, even if you have a genuine last min commitment and called up to inform them.

Yes we have been bringing our daughter there since getting screened by HPB. The doctors at HPB said there was nothing to do as her scoliosis was mild. We go once a week and the curve has been improving from the last check.
We were impressed by the before and after results from past patients and even got to speak to some parents before deciding to start.

I would like to give my honest reviw since 5 years ago... of scoliolife as our family had been going through scoliosis for our young girl for over 5 years now. We initially went through HPB and kk hosiptal and did the recommended brace when she was first diagnoised at age 10. We did the schroth exercises the hospital recommended and got a boston brace. Every 6 months we would go in for review with KK specialist and her curve kept getting worst even though we were wearing the boston brace for 20 hours every day. It was hard as she had to even go to school and suffered bullies too. The curve got so bad that eventually it hit 48 degrees and the specialist told us we had to do surgery. This is when i went online and found scoliolife clinic. I was skeptical at first and who wouldnt be after what we had gone through. We did a new brace with them which they said can correct curves unlike the old brace we had and did a 6 month program where we went in once a week for one hour. There she did a mixture of physio, schorth, stretching equipment and some therapy with the chiro. They even went through nutrition and guided us on what to eat. I think this is the most comprehensive program foro scoliosis. During the 6 months we met other parents in the same position trying to avoid surgery. I am happy to report our daughter curve now is under 35 degrees. Do i think scoliolife is for everyone no. As it takes a lot of work and committemnt to get the results. Also the therapist there explained how much work is required to achive such good results from dilligently wearing the brace a dn doing the exercises in the clinic and ar home. BUt im so happy we did. Sorry for such a long post but I remember being in the same position as many parents told they had to do spinal surgery for their child and the number of sleepless nights we had worrying. It was gods blessing we found scoliolife.
