Suggest Non Surgical Treatment For Severe Scoliosis

I am 75 years old and have severe scoliosis.53 degrees is the measurement of my curve in the lumber region, I won t have surgery because the risks are too great and I have become aware that there is no scientific data to support alternative treatments. Does that also include the Schroth approach as I have heard that this method achieves results. Just confused. Thank you. Niki

Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM. Scoliosis occurs due weakness of muscles of back. I am totally agree with you that exersises will help you even with severe scoliosis.
I suggest-
1.Crawling on the back, on the scapules as snake;exercise -boat on the abdomen;press;hanging;streching exercises for back on the fit ball and etc.
2.Swimming is the best exercise,especially back swimming.
3.Sharko's shower, circular shower.
4.Therapeutic Massage of back.
5.Calcium plus vitami D3(Shelcal)500mg 1 tablet 1 time for 1 month
6.Cartigen plus 1 tablet 2 times for 1 month,then 1 tablet 1 time for 1-5 month for improvement structure of spinal cord.
Best regards
Wishing you a good health!
