When my daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis at 13, we were heartbroken. The orthopedic specialist immediately started talking about rigid bracing, and even surgery if things progressed. As a mom, you just want to do everything possible to help your child, and the idea of her wearing a brace 23 hours a day—or worse, undergoing surgery—was terrifying. I knew we had to be proactive and look into every possible option before we took those steps.
That’s when I came across Dr. Morningstar. His approach was so different from anything we’d heard before, focusing on specialized exercises rather than rigid bracing or surgery. It wasn’t an easy decision, but after talking to Dr. Morningstar and hearing his confidence, we decided to give his treatment a chance.
The change in my daughter was incredible. Not only did her curve improve—her orthopedic doctor even commented on how much it had stabilized without needing full-time bracing—but her other symptoms started to ease as well. She’d been dealing with headaches, stomach issues, and even anxiety, and they were affecting her everyday life. After starting Dr. Morningstar's program, we noticed that she seemed so much more at ease. She was digesting her food better, her headaches became less frequent, and I could see her emotional resilience growing. It was as if the treatment was helping her body as a whole, not just her spine.
Seeing my daughter’s confidence and comfort return was such a gift. Dr. Morningstar’s approach not only spared her from surgery and rigid bracing but gave her back her health in ways I hadn’t even realized she’d been struggling with. I’ll be forever grateful we took this proactive path—it's made all the difference for her.
