Scoliosis q! Please help!?


How much can scoliosis possibly worsen in 3 months? (in degrees)

Any example will be appreciated.

I have a 34 and 37 degree curve and im getting it checked tomorrow. Ive had scoliosis for at least 3 years. Do you think it can get over 40 ? :P

How much did yours or someone you know gain over a period of time ?

Btw im 13 turning 14.

well..generally speaking thoracic curvature over 30 degrees with low Risser Sign has about 90% chance of progression...
whether you are going to be one of the 90% or other 10% depends on case by case basis and there's no way to predict here..

Guess you'll find out soon enough...

If it is progressing, I'd suggest wearing brace if you are not wearing one already...there are corrective devices now which are much easier to wear...check out www.myscoliosis.net

Well, it really depends on the person. I was in the same boat that you are in a couple of years ago when I went to see my doctor about my back. We didn't know that I had scoliosis, but we soon found out that I had a 24 degree curve. Where my numbers were, (I'm sure you know all of those!) I wasn't supposed to have any change, but they wanted to check on me in 6 months. In that time my curve changed 14 degrees, and they find 5 degrees during that short time to be a HUGE change. It could get over 40, it's not out of the realm of possibility, but hopefully it doesn't! I have worn a back brace for 3 years now and I have found that strength training while focusing on the core helps a lot, but I would clear that with your doctor first. I hope this helped a little bit and I wish you the best of luck!

YES! Get to a physical therapist / Dr. That will worsen over the years which means surgery, you don't want that if possible. Physical therapy and a back brace is what you want if possible. Good Luck
