That makes a lot of sense and it may also be why there is only so much

correction a surgeon can do because the spinal cord has stretched to accommodate

the curvature too.

Re: Rcoliosis-Medical] Scoliosis & esophageal

issues.

A neurologist once told me that his theory about pain in some scoliosis patients

was due to a traction effect on the nerves as the person moved. He said that the

nerves would have been stretched to accommodate the curvature during growth and

as one moved these taunt nerves would be aggravated causing pain that couldn't

be explained any other way. In my case I think he was right but it was only his

theory. Still it's interesting to think about.
