My hubby Brad just had xrays after a car wreck. (he is basiclly OK just sore)
They said he has scoliosis. Any information would be helpful as they didn't tell him anything else.

I'm sorry, I didn't see this until now....
His primary care physician hasn't talked to him about it? He doesn't know to what degree? There are a lot of different ways (both allopathic and holistic) to treat this, depending on the severity.

Noofs, many years ago, when I had xrays for something unrelated to my back, the doctor told me I had slight scoliosis. No further discussion, etc. - so I can see how that could happen. It was incidental to the other issue and not enough to be a big - or even a minor - deal.
Presumably if it hadn't been noticed before adulthood, it would have to be pretty mild, and perhaps no treatment is needed. Per my experience, it's not progressive in adults.

That makes sense. I've had medical professionals say "just fyi....." and then tell me about something incidental about me that I'd either find interesting or that I should be aware of.

Yes it was just an FYI thing. But even so he doesn't ask a lot of questions right away. I wasn't there to either so that didn't help.  That website was good. |
