Response to TCS/ coliosis connection

by

 

I am 57 and I have TCS. I also have what they called idiopathic scoliosis. I have a 75 degree doouble s curve whixch has never been corrected because my parents were told it was not worth it. My daughter (now 25) also had it, but I was watching for it, so when her spoine began to curve they put her in a Milwaukee brrrace, starting at 24/7 , then aafter one yeaaar decreased the time very gradually. She got it just before she started high school and wore ti two years. Her spine is fine now. My father aalso had a very slgiht case of scoliosis alog with his midddddl case of TCS. I waaaas informed 25 years ago that in some cases there does appeeeear to be a connection between the two.
