First of, I just want to thank everyone for their responses, I'm taking them all to heart

.

I just spoke to the chiropractic doctor that recommended me to the pettibon system, and actually referred to me to a doctor in my area that he thought could better help me with it then any other one. What I learned from this phonecall is that Dr. Pettibon has been working on this method for 47 years now. He has actually been working closely as of recently with one of the doctors that actually developed the Harrington rod which has been for the last 50 years one of the leading treatments in scoliosis. Its scary to hear that 4% of the kids don't even make it off the operating table, and about 15% of them need to go back for a 2nd surgery in the 20s after the titanium rod on their spine has cracked. The doctor that invented this is actually calling it barbaric these days, and is working closely with Dr. Pettibon in his research.
I've been doing a LOT of research into this system the past few days, looking on the Pettibon website and off of it. I did find this third party study which I can't see it being related to Pettibon at all which provided positive results.

Anyways, thanks again for everyone's input! Its much appreciated

. I'll keep you up to date!
