I have been treating this patient for 20 years. She is 80 years old now. In the past 10 years her degenerative scoliosis (DS) has progressively worsened. We did xrays before starting the combination of lumbosacral Flexion/Distraction (Cox Technic) and Fascial Plane Therapy. Her scoliotis improved almost 13.5 degrees. Her pain improved (NPS) 6-8/10 to 1-2/10. I cannot find anything in the literature, non-surgically, to compare this to.
Thanks Eric, but I haven't seen anything in the literature to compare it with. I've seen a few cases of maintaining the curve.
Hi :) I find your case very interesting. The only thing I found in the literature is this study: they found conservative treatment to improve VAS and sagittal balance but not other parameters such as Cobb. I hope you will find it interesting

Thank you Francesca. The therapy I did on this patient is the same as an ultrasound video for a different patient with 34 years of chronic low back pain. It uses cine-loop to show changes in the connective tissue (thoracolumbar fascia) before and after treatment.
