scoliosis

latley my back has been hurting me more often.... granted i don't wear the brace very often because it isn't very effective (not a scoliosis brace - a foodlion sore back brace).

i did some research:

  • Congenital scoliosis. Caused by a bone abnormality present at birth.
  • Neuromuscular scoliosis. A result of abnormal muscles or nerves. Frequently seen in people with spina bifida or cerebral palsy or in those with various conditions that are accompanied by, or result in, paralysis.
  • Degenerative scoliosis. This may result from traumatic  bone collapse from an injury or illness,previous major back surgery, orosteoporosis (thinning of the bones). (- My car accident? the Doctor thinks that is what may have caused it, but no Major bone damage was done i don't think....)
  • Idiopathic scoliosis. The most common type of scoliosis, idiopathic scoliosis, has no specific identifiable cause. There are many theories, but none have been found to be conclusive. There is, however, strong evidence that idiopathic scoliosis is inherited.


but everything i find on scoliosis is for children.... i'm not a child and i'm done growing. Is there a chance mine will get worse? what can i do to stop the back pain?

ok.... found an option.... physical therapy and or water therapy
since ibeprofen doesn't really help.
