Welcome
Hello.
We’re happy you’re interested in our study.
If your child has recently been diagnosed with scoliosis, you're probably wondering what comes next. Many families are told simply to watch and wait. Our study asks whether beginning a simple, carefully designed yoga program earlier in childhood can help reduce scoliosis while children are still growing.
We're inviting you and your family to participate in a research study that may help reduce your child's scoliosis while helping us discover better treatments for children with scoliosis. This study builds on more than ten years of research and over 300 patients previously treated with these methods.
Can Early Yoga Help Children with Scoliosis? A Research Study for Children Ages 8–12
We are studying a simple, non-invasive yoga program that may help straighten small scoliosis curves while children are still growing. The study is free, takes only 5–10 minutes per day, involves no surgery, no braces, no injections, and is designed specifically for children ages 8–12. We will pay up to $100 for each X-ray during the study. We use EOS technology, where one X-ray has only 1/9th the radiation of the standard ones.
Children with idiopathic lumbar and thoracolumbar curves between 10° - 45° qualify for study entry.
Here are a couple of examples of how it’s worked so far:
