[RC] Scoliosis - Tara M SheppardI too have a "mild" case of Scoliosis. I was told at a young age to not ride horses anymore. So, I quit going to the chiro! And yes, I still ride. I now am in my early 30's and it is really bothering me bad. I too sit to one side (the left). Thought it was the saddle at first, then the horse. Finally realized it was me. One leg is longer than the other and I have a horrible time trying to post to the trot. If I even gain 5 pounds, It is torture. I now need to lose at least 15 pounds and my back and knees especially, KILL me. I have headaches on a regular basis due to the Scoliosis. I don't have medical at this time so cannot afford to go see the chiro. Am going to start losing weight as of today. Exercise really does help. Keep the back strong and limber. As well as keeping the weight off does wonders. Definitely have the child go see a chiro on a regular basis. Don't decide for him/her or they WILL pay for it later- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
