Operation is always the last resort. I believe nature and the body can totally heal itself. Why not try a chiropractor, or an osteopath? And i think scoliosis has varying degrees of curvature, which might require bracing. I dun have scoliosis but I see a chiropractor for some time now and my health has improved. There is this Taiwanese doctor at United Square or something whom i heard is very good with patients suffering from scoliosis. Try googling?

My 17-yr-old dd has been postponing spine surgery since 4 years ago when her curvature reached 55 degrees and doctor advised us to do so. Over the years, the curvature stays about the same. We are now in a dilemma. If going for surgery, nxt year after A level will be good because she will be having a long break. On the other hand, we would like to try other way so as to avoid surgery. We have tried bracing and chiropractic treatment but there isn't much effect. Anyone has good recommendation? Really appreciate it.
Hi sagi001, I'm a 16 years old girl undergoing the same situation as your daughter did. Planned to have surgery earlier this year but was being postponed to next year where I will be in JC1 already. I have been starting up yoga classes in hope that it will help my scoliosis condition but now, I'm looking at going for chiropractic treatment. Its been 2 years, can you let me know how your daughter is doing now? Which option did she go for in the end? Did she eventually go for the operation? I have a lot of queries and I only have 2 months to make up my mind if I want to have the operation and I do have a lot of concerns. Please do give me some advices because your daughter's situation is the most similar as to what I can find on forums. If necessary, can drop me an email at [email protected] thank you!!
Hi elyx1305, I've tried most treatments. My DD was 10 when he was checked and found to have scoliosis. They sent us to HPB where we got a recommendation for a specialist who recommended a boston brace. After 6 months it did got worst on the next review so I enrolled him in pilates. It helped his posture but didnt improve his curve. Finally this year I sent him to a chiropractor next to paragon and we are seeing improvements. Its important to find a chiro that specializes in scoliosis.

Hi Ling_SG65, could you share with me the contact of the chiropractor? My email [email protected].
For scoliosis you should also try seeking the help of an orthopaedic surgeon, since I know this condition is really one of their specialties. You can try Dr Sean Ng at Ardmore Orthopaedic Clinic if you're interested.
