[QUOTE="95BlackGA, post: 3384430, member: 576452"] I've been to a chiropractor once, and he wouldn't even see me. I, too, have scoliosis. I was told once I get my insurance back, I should either look into getting surgery done, or wear a brace to hopefully correct my back, but with the brace, I would have to wear it 24/7. If it's not treated in some way or another there is a chance that IF your have extreme scoliosis, your ribs can puncture internal organs. When I first found out, the school nurse was testing the whole school, and once I got tested, I had to get taken out of school and 'rushed' to the hospital. When I stand straight, I can actually see how badly my curvature is, I'd say it's about 20 degrees off. That's not my only back problem though, my mom (nurse) is thinking that my spine is fusing to my tail bone, which she has and it's genetic... I can't lift over 50lbs anymore.
