Hi all. My teenage kid has just been diagnosed with severe scoliosis, initially of about 30+ deg and after half a year it is more than 40deg now. He has not been adjusting well to the hard and stiff boston brace made in KKH and used it just a few hours each time. Doc recommended surgery but I am really apprehensive of such an invasive surgery for my kid so young. Reading all the articles online does not reassure me especially with the numerous prolonged negative effects of such a major surgery. Lately, I also read about Chiropractics that could help with scoliosis and have three practitioners in mind after some research.

1) Dr Will (Precision Spine)
2) Dr Albert (All Well Scoliosis Centre)
3) Dr Kevin (ScolioLife)

Does anyone have any advice and actual experience to share with the aforementioned doctors in terms of the effectiveness, duration, and cost of treatment?
