This is a problem me and a lot of other people struggle with. It's completely natural. Yoga, chiropractors, physical therapy, and all that helps, but surgery is the only way to permanently correct it Most young people who have curves of over 20-30 degrees just wear a back brace in the day, night, or both. I have a night brace. (my curves are 36 on the bottom and around the same on the top)
This is what it looks like.
I actually got cleared from wearing it every night last Monday since I've basically stopped growing. I wore it for 2 years and 2 months practically every night, but it helped.
The hospital I went to was called Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, and it's really nice.
The sign.
Weird contraption in the main lobby.
Here's a better view. It's an aircraft made out of strictly toys.
They have these big fish tanks EVERYWHERE, they are HUGE!
Me with the doctor and the prosthetic worker after I found out I was cleared. (yes, I was crying)
So ya, that's about it for me. Feel free to comment for questions!
