My spine is curved due to scoliosis. I had surgery for this condition. Since then my upper spine is curved so that I walk with a forward bend. I just cannot stand up straight. I am 71 and in good health. I have come through all my surgeries very well. From what I was told, there is a procedure that breaks the spine, straightens the spine and then inserts a rod. I am not looking for surgery, but if I would be able to stand up straight, I would do it. Thank you for your help in this matter.
