Hi there! My name is Anna. I am 15 years old and I am from Tijuana B.C, Mexico.
When I was 13 years old, I started to have discomfort in my back. When I got up, I felt tired and my discomfort was the only symptom I had. We went with an orthopedist in my city, and they said I had idiopathic scoliosis. Honestly, before I had it, I didn’t even know what it was.
In Mexico, there are no treatments for scoliosis. That day my dad told me that he also had that and that I probably inherited it from him. Feeling a little guilty, he did a lot of research looking for an alternative treatment I could take. He first found the Schroth exercises with Dr. Mark in San Diego, and with just two weeks of doing them, the pain I had when I got up stopped. In addition to being a doctor, he supported me through this process. I had very good results from the exercises, and my curve has gone down. From being at 44 and 30, it has reduced to 22 and 9. I encourage you all to try it as well!
