Scoliosis Prevention/Correction Tips?

Bad day for my family! My youngest has Scoliosis and will need a brace if is condition gets worse. He is 12yrs and is a great young man. The doctor told him today that he is a canidet for a brace that he will have to wear 22hrs a day until he stops growing (18-22yrs old). It was a big f…in bummer for a kid who has been talking about joining the Marines since he was 8.

Ok now the Doctor grin on his face makes me want to knock him out. He says there is nothing we can do but wait. I am not a big fan of doing nothing. So is there anything you guys have heard of that helps…exercise, suppliments, growth gear, ANYTHING??? It would suck going through highschool with a brace on. I feel so dam bad for him and am looking for help…

Thanks BBB. We have been taking him to a chiropractor. The Chiro says we should keep doing the adjustments and dont do a brace. The spine center says to wait another 4 months and if it gets worse the brace will have to be used. That web page was very informative. I cant believe 1/2% of boys get it and my son is the lucky one.
