I just turned 80, have not had any significant health problems. My last physical, 3 weeks ago, I mentioned to my physician I was having some knee pain while walking. He said it was another result of my scoliosis and did not recommend treatment. Would chondroitin help?
Chondroitinn has been mainly indicated for use in early stages of arthritis, moat commonly for knee and sometimes hip related arthritis.. it's utility in spine related arthritis is not as much proven as for knee.. Scoliosis is deformity of the spine with bending or curvature to one side..At your age its related to age related degeneration of discs and joints.I don't think Chondroitinn as any benefit in scoliosis. But it can surely help in early arthritic knee pain..Hope this answers your query. But do keep in regular follow up of your doctor to monitor your progression
All the best, regards..
