We brought Vera for massage to clear her mucus and the doctor felt a clear S-curve on her spine.
Oh no. So it has worsened. Probably because she enjoys standing so much, but also because her one leg is significantly shorter than the other, by almost an inch and a half, the slanting posture is probably putting strain on her spine. Also, it could be that we've been carrying her upright most of the time since she was a baby, and her neck can't support her head well, putting extra pressure on her spine.
As I see a Chiropractor regularly myself, I know how a misaligned spine can wreak havoc on everything from our breathing, to headaches, backaches, and tiredness.
We are clueless now as to what to do: What is the best treatment now to prevent the scoliosis from getting worse? Do we bring her to an Osteopath, a Chiropractor, a Physiotherapist or an Orthopedic surgeon? We hope to get some answers soon.

I am so glad that I am able to get updates now, how i missed the information about Vera. Do you have a PMR specialist there? (Physical Medicine Doctor) Annabel actually has her check up this Friday in Houston. She has a little scoliosis but her main issue is Kyphosis (probably misspelled.) He back has an outward curse instead of S curve. Also everyone thinks Annabel's right leg is shorter than the left (you can see it without measuring) but after x-rays and much measuring it is decides that her hips are slightly rotated and this throws this off. Don't know if this is helpful at all but I will keep checking back to see what is found out about precious Vera.
Poor Vera!! i hope that her congestion is better...Have a great week! :)
