     Hello Everyone.  My name is Stephanie Merino and I am a senior
at BonnersFerry High School. I have curvature of the spine which is
also called Scoliosis.  To treat this , I wore a Boston Brace for
five years. (until my bones were done growing.)  Some other
alternatives would have been a surgery, where there is a metal rod
placed in the spine to the stop curving.  This type of treatment is
usually used for very serious cases with curve degrees over forty. 
 
Another alternative would have been to get shock treatments.  Last
I heard this was fairly new and not often used unless the curve was
mild.  I am writing to find out any new information about this
subject.  I would also like to know if Scoliosis is hereditary; and
if it can be totally corrected.
I am interested in learning as much as possible about all aspects
of this subject.  Any comments you might have would be greatly
appreciated.
