When I was 15, I found out I had scoliosis. I’d been going to an orthopedic doctor who told me I had this curve in my spine that was only going to get worse, and my only option was to eventually have surgery. Obviously, I was super freaked out. I didn’t want a big surgery or a scar. Plus, the idea of recovery? No, thank you.

That’s when we heard about Dr. Morningstar. I was a little skeptical at first because everyone was saying surgery was the only solution, but I thought, "If there’s a chance to avoid it, why not give it a shot?" So, I started treatment with Dr. Morningstar, which was all about exercises and specific therapies. It was honestly so different from everything I’d been told, but I felt hopeful for the first time in months.

The best part? It worked. Over time, I noticed a huge difference—not just in how I felt physically but in my actual curve. I’d go in for checkups, and even my orthopedic surgeon was impressed. He was like, “Wow, I can see the curve is improving.” He even admitted that my exercises were making a difference. Hearing that from him was such a validation that I’d made the right choice with Dr. Morningstar. I was even able to see my X-rays over time, and my curve actually decreased!

Looking back, going with Dr. Morningstar was one of the best choices I could’ve made for myself. I avoided surgery, and I feel so much stronger and more confident in my body now.
