Do you know how many models with Scoliosis there are? Talk to your ortho, ask your GP. Maybe tell them you're getting back pain? liv21 Posted at 11:55 am on Oct. 8, 2008 Sorry, but having scoliosis and being a model isn't the most welcome combination. ronda Posted at 11:54 am on Oct. 8, 2008 Oh, my friend has this. Her doctor could tell if she was going to grow any more, by looking at her pelvis or something like that. dreamweaver Posted at 11:48 am on Oct. 8, 2008 That's something you should go ahead and bring up to your doctor. Ask him if there is anyway, even exercises that may help you straighten your spine up some. switchfoot52 Posted at 11:43 am on Oct. 8, 2008 i have the same problem. i go to the chiropractor. athleticcup Posted at 11:43 am on Oct. 8, 2008 idts sorry All 6 previous replies displayed.
