Hard work pays off


This post is a little late but better late than never.

And never did I ever expected to get my curves down below 10 degrees. After 2 more weeks at the CLEAR Institute my top curve is now 6 degrees! When I started the treatment it was 39 degrees. A curve under 10 degrees is not considered Scoliosis. I only have 6 degrees until I am perfectly straight.

The bottom curve is now 29 degrees and it started at 57.

This is more than 50% reduction in under a year of treatment.

I have growth another 1/4 inch, can breath easier, sleep better and can sit and stand straighter with less effort.

I am in awe of what the doctors at CLEAR have been able to achieve and the hope and inspiration they create for children and adults who thought their only option was surgery or to just deal with the pain and discomfort caused by scoliosis.

And I'm in awe of my family and friends who have supported me through this entire journey. I could not have done it without them.
