Testimonial From Scoliosis Patient...

Katie Edkins

Eighteen months ago, my daughter Katie was diagnosed with a mild case of scoliosis -- 4% curvature. Six months later, it had progressed to a 12% curvature. We were concerned, but the doctors advised a "wait and see" approach. While waiting and seeing, Katie began complaining of increasing pain in her back, which seemed directly linked to the scoliosis. Her discomfort became significant, and I discussed her situation with Dr. Donatello during one of my visits. His response was conservative. While he wouldn't say that he could reverse the curvature process, he felt strongly that he could help relieve the discomfort she was experiencing.

Katie began seeing Dr.Donatello three times a week in April 2003. Gradually, she began to feel some relief. By summer, she was much improved.

In August, she was again x-rayed. Prior to learning the results, our anxiety was high. Katie EdkinsScoliosis runs in our family, and one cousin has had to wear a back brace. When the results came, we whooped with collective joy. Not only had there been no additional curvature, but it had actually reversed. From 12% in March, it was down to 3%. Although I can't state with certainty that Dr. Donatello was responsible for the improvement, I am certain that his care has been extremely beneficial to Katie. Today, she is virtually painfree, and pursues a variety of sports with enthusiasm. Thank you, Dr. Donatello, for your involvement in Katie's care.
