passthepotatoes reminded me - does your son see a chiropractor? I know there are a lot of quack ones out there, but there are also some fabulous ones as well. The one I see used to be a primary care physician but decided to scale back and do something different - as such she doesn't promise to cure anything, only to help relieve tension and pain. She also teaches various stretches and exercises, and allows the patients to use the decompression table. I personally can't use the table due to my vertebra being fused to my pelvis, but a lot of folks with scoliosis LOVE it.

You might also try a DO, as opposed to an MD. They are typically more open to using manipulation and homeopathic remedies in addition to the traditional medical answers.
