Hi. My name is Michael and i am 17 years old. About 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with Schuerermann's Kyposhis due to a 67 degree curvature of the spine. This curvature was very sevvere, and i went to an excellent back doctor in NYC. He prescribed a brace for me to wear 23 hours a day, for 15 months. THen i would be gradually weened off of the brace. After two years have gone by, my spine is now an excellent 41 degrees. I advise anyone to try the brace because i feel that it really works. As oposed to what that woman mentioned, you have nothing to lose. It helped me and it may help your son.
