Looks high end but fair price and beautiful! This chandelier looks beautiful in our master bedroom! I've received so many compliments and it was a great price for how it looks. I was worried it wouldn't be bright enough or would look cheap but it provides plenty of light and looks high end. Very happy with this item! I just need to be careful dusting it as the baubles are very delicate. And a word of warning - you have to connect all approx 200 baubles. I had my builder do it so I was lucky, but I'm sure it's time consuming so just make sure you realize that.

I love the look of this chandelier! I love the look of this chandelier! It's hanging in my guest bathroom and this really looks classy! You do have to hang every ball, but it's worth it to me. I can not speak as to the difficulty in hanging because I hired it done by an electrician.

Stunning! I love this fixture. I kept seeing the $1,000 version and wanted it. Buying this copy felt like a risk but I'm so glad I did. I've put it in my home office in our new house. It's feminine and classy and I get lots of compliments. It was easy to put together though it does take some time to attach all of the balls. The one difference between this fixture and the expensive one is that this one has a clear wire going from the canopy into a center hub that is attached to the spokes leading to each light. I didn't like that the wire was visible so I covered it with narrow, chrome-colored cable cover. It looks like it's been there forever. With 5 lights, there is more than enough light for the entire room. Another great Overstock purchase.

Beautiful! The fixture sparkles and looks like a much more expensive piece. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the directions are not detailed.Also, I was told that because the 1 of the 5 light bulbs sits with the base upside down, the one socket in the fixture requires a special bulb. This is according to a lighting expert with whom I spoke. He said that when a candleabra light sits with the base up (as opposed to the "usual" base down), the heat is generated upward over the base and if the right bulb isn't in that socket, the fixture is at increased risk for fire. Not being a light expert myself, I have to take his word for it. Just be aware that you might require at least 1 special bulb for the "base-up" socket.

Crystal chandelier - with broken crystals I was surprised by the large number of broken crystals. I didn't discover the broken crystals until after the electrician was paid for installing the fixture (as I was following other reviewers' wise advice to install the crystals AFTER hanging the chandelier). I was advised that new crystals will be arriving from China. If they arrive, though, I will be 100% satisfied. If not, I am in a pickle indeed....and down the electrician's fee for installation. As an aside, I do concur with others that the crystals should be installed post-instAlation. Check them upon arrival, perhaps.

just a warning... We absolutely love this chandelier BUT just be warned....it comes in 200 plus pieces. Be sure that you have help because every "bubble" is individually wrapped and must be hung to the metal fixture. It was actually fun putting it together, but we will have an electrician hang it. For the money (and way less than the Robert 'bling" original) it's worth it!

The light is even better than pictured. The light is perfect! I hung it in my dining room and it looks gorgeous and much more expensive that what I paid for it. I have been searching for a dining room light for approximately 1 year and I knew this was the one as soon as I opened the box. Also included were extra fasteners, chains and glass.

The reviews were awesome as if it was a must buy without regret. Im placing this in my foyer for a show stopper look
Has anyone used this in a two story foyer?
Hello DoverRenovations, we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response. Thank you for shopping with us.
It measures 19 inches tall. From what point to what point? Can this be converted into a semi-flush mount?
Hello KSweet, the 19 inches measures from the top of the chandelier to the bottom. We do apologize, we are not able to convert this item into a semi-flush mount. Thank you for shopping with us.
What bulbs do this take?
Hello Andreak, the Indoor 5-light Luxury Crystal Chandelier take five 60-watt bulbs. Have a great day.
I returned a chandelier because it did NOT have five lights as advertised., It arrived last Friday. How long to get my refund so I can order another chandelier that is one sale?
Hello Cheryl E. M., you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Can I hang this fixture with 8 ft.ceilings....going over soaking tub... or would I have to cut off almost all the chain? Would it look funny with only 2-3 in. of chain showing? Would the semi flush mount light similar to this one be better suited for 8 ft. ceilings?
Here's a picture of this chandelier hanging over a soaking tub. Not sure of the ceiling height, though. http://www.designingontheside.com/2014/03/master-bath-reveal.html I am considering this for my bathroom as well.
Hello Irma, you can hang this fixture with 8 foot ceilings, however, you would have to cut off most of the chain. I would suggest item number 13549795 which would work much better with an 8 foot ceiling. Thank you for shopping with us!
How long is the chain?
Hello JillKB, the hanging wire is approximately 40" inches long. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.
Hello. Does this chandelier (ITEM#: 12994829) have a "Damp" rating? Thanks.
Hello wen1, this does not have a damp rating, it is recommended to be used indoors. Have a good day!
is there a similar fixture for above the vanity?
Hello 7michelle, unfortunately, we do not carry this same chandelier for above a vanity. Sorry for the inconvenience. Have a great day!
Hi, does this come in a larger size? Thanks.
Do you have this item in a flush mount 3 lights (a bit smaller)?
Hello sashasuki, unfortunately, we do not have this exact light in a 3-light mount. However, we do offer item numbers 13902569 and 16404228 that are very similar and are 3-light mounts. Thank you for shopping with us!
Are the crystals etched or plain
Hello melvinps, I hope your day is going well. The crystal is clear. Thank you for shopping with us and have a great day.
It's like a round ball.
Plain, and very sparkly, but the overall fixture is VERY poor quality!
Should I install the crystals before or after hanging?
In my experience, it is much easier to hang it then hook the pieces. Be ready the amount of work it's involved to hook each blub. It'll be worth it though. I love the light in my dining room.
Can this fixture be hung from a sloped ceiling? Also, I have a ceiling height requiring 6 feet of chain, is there somewhere to buy more matching chain length?
No reason why it cannot. The chain the comes with lamp is sizeable. We had to remove half of it to hang properly from our ceiling. But home improvement stores would be a good place to look for additional chain.
Yes I have mine hung from a vaulted ceiling...lots of extra slack:)
Yes, I think you could.
We have ours hanging from a sloped 2 story ceiling. We bought a chain kit from our local hardware store, which came with 10 feet of silver chain and a bunch of other pieces that we didn't really need, but it was only about $10.
Can I hang this light without the chain? and if not, what is the minimum height from the ceiling to the lowest crystal?
Hello libby2014, unfortunately this light is designed to be hung with the chain. Thanks for shopping with us. J.E
Overstock sells one without the chain. Keep shopping.
How much does this weigh?
Hello cfgoodreau, this light has a shipping weight of 21 pounds. Thank you for your question. Shelia B

Best Chandeliers for Your Home
Whether you like antique or contemporary styles, chandeliers can dress up many different rooms. It's easy to update your bedroom with a striking pendant chandelier, or add a crystal chandelier to the dining room for extra sparkle. You may have a few questions about choosing chandelier lighting that works with your style, however. Read on for tips on finding the best chandeliers for your home.
Best Light Fixtures for Making a Statement
Light fixtures can produce big design statements in a room. If something feels incomplete, even after you've decorated, chances are your lighting situation is to blame. Replacing a standard frosted glass pendant light or a boring brass chandelier with something unique and tailored for your style will pull together all the elements of a room and highlight the architecture of a home.
FAQs about Chandeliers and Pendants
Chandeliers and pendants have always been popular lighting options because they can highlight spaces and bring some pizzazz and sparkle to a room. The popularity of chandeliers and pendants has made Overstock.com's wide selection even wider and has probably left you with several questions about how to choose, hang and care for the right chandeliers and pendants. Read on to find the answers to these frequently asked questions.
Top 5 Chandelier Styles
Whether you are building your dream house or just sprucing up your current home, a chandelier is a great way to add ambiance and decoration to a room. Chandeliers and pendants aren't just for formal dining rooms. The right chandelier can look great in any room. Although chandeliers come in a wide variety of styles, let's start with the top five.
Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house. From giant crystal chandeliers that hang from high ceilings to simple styles that reside over a family dining table, lighting fixtures have the ability to make a room glow. A chandelier that is not right for your space can seem weighed down and heavy. The wrong chandelier can also lack drama that helps make a room fabulous. If your chandelier is looking old and outdated, it might be time to update with a new style.
How to Select Kitchen Lighting
If your kitchen looks tired, why not update it with brand-new kitchen lighting? New kitchen pendant lights or a unique chandelier could be just what your space needs for a fresh makeover. In fact, the right kitchen light fixtures add that extra touch that makes a kitchen shine. Whether you want to install recessed kitchen lighting in your home or just want to update a few existing light fixtures, the following tips can help you find lighting that will last for years and keep your kitchen looking great. Read on to learn about selecting kitchen lighting for your home.
How to Clean a Chandelier
Chandeliers can be the stunning focal point of your room, but these dramatic light fixtures are also great at collecting dust and cobwebs. You can keep your chandelier sparkling by dusting it regularly and cleaning it thoroughly twice a year. To learn how to clean your chandelier using both the wet and dry methods, keep reading.
4 Things to Consider When Buying Chandelier Earrings
You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures. They may have tiers of sparkling, swinging gemstones or they may have layers of hammered gold medallions. Each chandelier earring style is unique and offers a bold splash of style. They go great with dresses but can also be worn with jeans and suits. To choose the perfect pair of chandelier earrings, consider these important features.
Chandelier Trends
Looking for a way to simultaneously brighten and dress up your home? Chandeliers are the perfect solution. Chandeliers are available with many arms, multiple tiers, and shades as well as with more simple designs and streamlined structures. Look for a chandelier light with a large presence for a big room and one with a smaller profile to use in a diminutive room; the size of your chandelier doesn't matter, only its size in comparison to the rest of your home decor.
Top 5 Ways to Wear Citrine Chandelier Earrings
If you love to dress in dark, neutral colors year-round, then add some citrine chandelier earrings to your wardrobe. Citrine earrings will add bright, glowing light to any simple outfit without diluting the edginess you desire in your look. Like the sparkling yellow eyes of a beautiful owl in the night, citrine jewelry accents an outfit with rich yellow hues. Keep several pairs of lovely chandelier earrings handy, and it will be easy to accessorize jeans, dresses and skirts with this extravagant gemstone jewelry.
How to Choose a Chandelier
Chandeliers are more than just a way to illuminate a room. They add style and become part of the home decor. Like any decorative piece, the right chandelier can make a big difference in the look and feel of a room. A large or ornate chandelier will overwhelm a small living space, and a small, simple one will not look right in a formal dining room. Here's how to choose the best lighting for your home.
Best Places to Hang Mini Chandeliers
A glistening chandelier can add that little extra something to your home decor, but you don't need to go big to make a huge style statement. Mini chandeliers, sometimes called chandelettes, work well in a variety of settings and are a popular alternative to large, traditional chandeliers. Think of a mini chandelier as piece of jewelry for your home -- a little can go a long way. If you're not sure where you would use one, try hanging a mini chandelier in one of these places.
Best Indoor Lights for Your Home
There's no excuse for sitting in darkness with all of the affordable lights available for your home. Whether you would like some accent lighting in your entryway or efficient home lighting to illuminate your kitchen, you'll be able to buy lights easily with the following suggestions. Read on for tips on finding the best indoor lights for your home.
Why You Need Chandelier Earrings
If you adore fancy decor, then you will love chandelier earrings. When you enter a fancy ballroom, the first thing you see is the stunning chandelier glistening above your head. Chandelier earrings have the same effect on a smaller scale. Your eyes will automatically be drawn to the sparkling, dancing gems and shiny metal. If you're looking to expand your jewelry collection, consider earrings that look like miniature chandeliers. Many styles are available to bring color and shine to your earring assortment.
Best Styles in Drop Earrings
Classic and versatile, drop earrings may be paired with any wardrobe option to complete a look and add sparkle and shine. Drop earrings include a variety of style categories, including teardrop earrings, chandelier earrings and dangling earrings. Earrings with dangling gemstones, teardrops, charms and chandeliers go well with other jewelry selections and make great jewelry gifts. Choose teardrop earrings, dangling earrings, chandelier earrings and other drop earrings for your collection with our list of the best styles.
Top 5 Necklace Pendants for Casual Style

You truly need an assortment of necklace pendants to bring your outfits to life. Start your collection with our top five casual pendant necklaces.
Top 5 Unique Ways to Wear a Cross Pendant
Religious jewelry is great for expressing your beliefs, but sometimes cross jewelry feels generic and old-fashioned.

Use our tips to create unique religious jewelry and cross necklaces for your collection.

How to Choose Men's Jewelry Pendants
Jewelry can be flashy, luxurious or subtle, but it should always reflect your personal tastes. Men's necklaces offer the perfect opportunity to personalize your look because there are so many men's jewelry pendants to choose from. You can wear stainless steel men's pendants with jeans or you can rock a diamond jewelry pendant with your best slim-cut suit.

Ok, here's one:
Will the game/engine be usable on systems with xorg ati drivers?
Phoronix: Ask Questions About The Unigine Engine
We were very impressed last year when first watching the Unigine Tropics demo that was integrated in the Phoronix Test Suite as its OpenGL graphics were stunning and the game engine behind it, Unigine, is fully compatible with Linux. While not yet released, the latest work going into this powerful game engine bring multiplayer and physics support along with a horde of other features...
Ok, here's one:
Will the game/engine be usable on systems with xorg ati drivers?
i have a good 1
where is my phoronix discount?
I got a bunch of questions:
1. What kind of API for developers do you guys use/Can you load assets created with Blender into the engine?
2. What scripting language do you use for Unigine?
3. Are there interesting/promising commercial projects currently in development or negotiations for Unigine use?
4. What do you guys think about the lack of interest in Linux gaming (with regards to how well games like World of Goo sell their Linux versions)?
5. Is DirectX a necessity or just a lazy-mans platform? How did Unigine overcome specialized effects programming like that?
6. How many people are working on Unigine at any time?
7. Will you be providing developer guides for people that want to create games or applications with the Unigine engine?
8. How much different (as an engine developer) is coding for Mac/Windows from coding for Linux? That's one of the most overused excuses from the dev community for NOT supplying Linux versions.
9. Unigine 2.0 - Can I haz it now?
10. Will the editor tools that are depicted on your website be shipped with the final engine and will they be cross-platform too?
11. Full engine access and six months support is almost 25K$ (40K$ for source code access + 12 months support) doesn't that limit your market potential?
12. Your "Indie" prices are virtually the same as the regular prices only that a larger part of the sum can be paid after an investor has stepped in. Do you plan on lowering the prices once Unigine is established a little more? I can hardly think of an Indie-dev that would sign up for a 40,000 Dollar engine. Also, doesn't that limit the potential of Unigine to be featured in "experimental" games?
EDIT I took a look at their web page again and there they have some pricing info, rephrased the questions 11+12 accordingly. Old ones were:
11. How much does fully licensed support for Unigine engine cost?
12. Will there be an open version that costs nothing?
Last edited by r0ck; 04-30-2009 at 08:34 AM.
13 Since it's unlikely there'll be an open version of Unigine Engine anytime soon, back to 11, will there be an inexpensive indie price point on the engine licensing?
I'd like to point Unigine developers to this thread.
There's something very strange with your engine - it's sometimes CPU bound, sometimes GPU bound and correlation is really difficult to establish. Is there a bug in rendering?
14 When will the first (commercial) game based on this engine be released?
15 will you release this engine as open source as ID software does? after a couple of years of course...
its questions like this that stop leadwerks engine from ever going to linux. The dev's over there think that everyone in the linux community wants everything for free.
I have a question about the engine construction itself. Why is there d3d9 support when no d3d 9 card can run it? I have a 7950 and thats about the best dx9 card that was made. although thats relative to preference, it was certainly the last series nvidia made before DX10. After turning absolutely everything off i get ~30fps. Will you make optimizations on the future to support D3D9 speed mprovements or was it part of an evolutionary process?

Cygnett Workmate iPhone 5 Case Review
Posted on Oct 5, 2012 at 10:22PM
In our second iPhone 5 case encounter we're taking a good look at the Workmate by Cygnett. This is another case that offers up tough protection against scratches and of course, accidental drops in the hands of clumsy and careless individuals. With a thinner iPhone, comes thinner protective cases with the same degree of impact protection some of us are in need of. Like the iPhone 5 UAG Composite case we had the pleasure of reviewing, the $25 Workmate case for the iPhone 5 is yet another slimmed down iPhone 4 ported case only with a thorough redesign we seriously adore. Be sure to check out our full review down below!

Right after last year's Singapore Mini Maker Faire, we received a huge surge of interest from Makers looking forward to participating in this year's Faire! We'll like to be as inclusive as possible, but this would come with additional venue and logistical costs.
As a sponsor, you will make it possible for more Makers (and Makers-to-be) to participate, which will bring more variety and diversity to this incredible community extravaganza. Your sponsorship will go into defraying venue setup costs and transport costs for Makers, as well as publicity costs to bring the joy of making to as many as possible.
We have a variety of sponsorship packages available, for individuals and both small and large organisations. Sponsorships can be cash, or in-kind.
Please contact us at email@example.com to discuss how you or your organisation can come in as a sponsor for the Singapore Mini Maker Faire.

Topic Overview
What is scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a problem with the curve in your spine. Some curves in your spine are normal. But a few people have spines that make a large curve from side to side in the shape of the letter "S" or the letter "C." If this curve is severe, it can cause pain and make breathing difficult.
The good news is that most cases of scoliosis are mild. If found early, they can usually be prevented from getting worse.
What causes scoliosis?
In most cases, the cause of scoliosis is not known. Scoliosis usually starts in childhood. Scoliosis that is severe enough to need treatment is most common in girls.
A curve in the spine may get worse as your child grows, so it is important to find any problem early.
What are the symptoms?
Scoliosis most often causes no symptoms in your child until the spinal curve becomes large. You might notice these early signs:
- Your child has one shoulder or hip that looks higher than the other.
- Your child's head does not look centered over the body.
- Your child has one shoulder blade that sticks out more than the other.
- Your child's waistline is flat on one side, or the ribs look higher on one side when your child bends forward at the waist.
In adults, scoliosis may cause back pain and trouble breathing.
How is scoliosis diagnosed?
The doctor will check to see if your child's back or ribs are even. If the doctor finds that one side is higher than the other, your child may need an X-ray so the spinal curve can be measured.
Scoliosis is most serious in young children who are still growing. A curve in the spine may get worse as your child grows. So many experts believe screening your child for scoliosis is important so that any curve in the spine can be found early and watched closely.
How is it treated?
Mild cases of scoliosis usually do not need treatment. Your doctor will check the curve of your child's spine every 4 to 6 months. If the curve gets worse, your child may need to wear a brace until he or she has finished growing. In severe cases, or if bracing doesn't help, your child may need to have surgery.
Scoliosis and its treatment can be a severe strain on your child. Wearing a brace can feel and look odd. It also limits your child's activity. Your child needs your support and understanding to get through treatments successfully.
What increases the risk of scoliosis?
Your child may be more likely to have scoliosis if someone in your family has had it and if your child is a girl. Other things that increase the chance of scoliosis include:
- One of the bones in your child's spine has moved forward out of place compared to the rest of the spine.
- Your child's arms or legs are missing or are abnormally short.
- Your child has a disorder that affects the nerves, muscles, or bones.

Scoliosis: Should I (or My Child) Have Surgery? |
In most cases, the cause of scoliosis is not known. This is called idiopathic scoliosis. It develops mostly in children and teens and appears to be related to several things, including genetics, as it often runs in families.
There are two types of scoliosis: nonstructural and structural.
Nonstructural (functional) scoliosis
Nonstructural (functional) scoliosis involves a curve in the spine, without rotation, that is reversible because it is caused by a condition such as:
- Pain or a muscle spasm.
- A difference in leg length.
Structural scoliosis
Structural scoliosis involves a curve in the spine, with rotation, that is irreversible and is usually caused by an unknown factor (idiopathic) or a disease or condition such as:
- Disorders that were present at birth (congenital), such as spina bifida, in which the spinal canal does not close properly; or a disorder that affects the formation of bones. These curves can be harder to correct. They often get worse as the child grows, especially during the teen years.
- Nerve or muscle disorders, such as cerebral palsy, Marfan's syndrome, or muscular dystrophy.
- Injuries.
- Infections.
- Tumors.
In adults, scoliosis may result from changes in the spine due to aging (degenerative changes).
In children and teens, scoliosis typically does not cause symptoms and is not obvious until the curve of the spine becomes moderate or severe. It may first become noticeable to a parent who observes that the child's clothes do not fit right or that hems hang unevenly. The child's spine may look crooked, or the ribs may stick out.
In a child who has scoliosis:
- One shoulder may appear higher than the other.
- One hip may appear higher than the other.
- The child's head is not centered over his or her body.
- One shoulder blade may stick out more than the other.
- The ribs are higher on one side when the child bends forward from the waist.
- The waistline may be flat on one side.
Most of the time scoliosis does not cause pain in children or teens. When back pain is present with scoliosis, it may be because the curve in the spine is causing stress and pressure on the spinal discs, nerves, muscles, ligaments, or facet joints. It is not usually caused by the curve itself. Pain in a teen who has scoliosis may indicate another problem, such as a bone or spinal tumor. If your child has pain associated with scoliosis, it is very important that he or she see a doctor to find out what is causing the pain.
Adults who have scoliosis may or may not have back pain. In most cases where back pain is present, it is hard to know whether scoliosis is the cause. But if scoliosis in an adult gets worse and becomes severe, it can cause back pain and difficulty breathing.
Some other conditions, such as kyphosis, cause symptoms similar to scoliosis.
What Happens
Idiopathic scoliosis, the most common type, does not have a known cause. Children who have this type of scoliosis usually first develop symptoms in childhood. Most cases of scoliosis are mild, involving small curves in the spine that do not get worse. Small curves usually do not cause pain or other problems. Usually a doctor examines the child every 4 to 6 months to watch for any changes.
In moderate or severe cases of scoliosis, the curves continue to get worse. During periods of growth, such as during the teenage growth spurt, the curves may get worse. Mild to moderate curves often stop progressing when the skeleton stops growing, while larger curves may get worse throughout adulthood unless they are treated.
Only about 1 out of 10 children who are diagnosed with scoliosis require treatment (either bracing or surgery).1
Things that may point to the potential increase in a spinal curve include:
- The age of the child and the development stage, or maturity, of his or her skeleton when scoliosis is diagnosed. The less mature the skeleton is when scoliosis starts, the greater the chance that scoliosis will get worse. Skeletal age, as determined by the Risser sign, is also used to find out the risk that the curve will get worse.
- The size of the curve. The larger the curve, the greater the risk that it will get worse.
- The location and shape of the curve. Curves in the upper back are more likely to get worse than curves in the lower back.
Girls are more likely than boys to have larger curves and more severe scoliosis.
As scoliosis gets worse, the bones of the spine rotate toward the inner part of the curve. If the upper part of the spine is affected, the ribs may crowd together on one side of the body and become widely separated on the other side. The curve may force the space between the spinal bones to narrow. The spinal bones may also become thicker on the outer edge of the curve.
In severe curves, problems with the shape of the rib cage may reduce the amount of air that the lungs can hold and may cause the heart to work harder to pump blood through the compressed lung tissue. Over time, this can lead to heart failure.
Although it is uncommon, babies can be born with scoliosis (congenital) or can develop it during the first 3 years of their lives (infantile scoliosis). Scoliosis that is present at birth or that develops in infants may be worse in the long run than scoliosis that develops later in life. This is because the more growing the skeleton has to do, the worse the curve may get. But in some cases congenital curves do not get worse. And some curves that are present during infancy get better on their own without treatment.
What Increases Your Risk
Things that increase a person's risk for scoliosis include:
- Family history. Scoliosis is known to run in families. Children—especially daughters—of women who have scoliosis are at increased risk for having scoliosis.2
- Being female. Girls are more likely than boys to have a significant curve that requires treatment.
Scoliosis is more common in people who have:
- A spinal bone that is pushed forward (forward displacement), usually in the lower back (spondylolisthesis).
- Missing or abnormally short arms or legs.
- Other disorders related to tissue development while in the womb.
When To Call a Doctor
Call your doctor to have your child evaluated for scoliosis if:
- You observe a curve in your child's spine.
- You notice that something about your child's posture looks unusual, such as ribs that stick out, one shoulder that is higher than the other, one hip that is higher than the other, or an uneven waistline.
- You observe that your child's clothes don't fit properly or that his or her hems don't hang evenly.
- A school screening program recommends that your child see a doctor.
Watchful waiting
If you suspect that your child has a spinal curve, ask a health professional to look at it. Early detection could lead to early treatment and could prevent a curve from getting worse.
If the results of a school screening program suggest that your child may have a spinal curve, follow up with your doctor. Most curves that are found through school screening programs are normal variations in the spine or mild scoliosis, and these curves usually require only regular observation.
Who to see
The following health professionals could identify and monitor scoliosis:
A doctor who specializes in surgery of the bones (orthopedic surgeon) may be consulted if the person has a moderate curve or if the curve is getting worse. The orthopedic surgeon will evaluate the curve and may recommend bracing or surgery.
A health professional who fits people with specially designed assistive devices (orthotist) can build and fit a custom brace.
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Exams and Tests
Scoliosis testing usually begins with a history and physical exam. This includes the forward-bending test, a simple test in which the child bends forward at the waist, arms hanging loosely and palms touching, and the examiner looks for unevenness in the child's back or ribs. A scoliometer can be used to measure and estimate the rotation of the spinal curve.
If the findings of the history and physical exam show a significant spinal curve, an X-ray of the spine may be taken to get a more precise measurement of the spinal curve.
Skeletal age, as determined by the Risser sign, is also a helpful measure to find out the risk that the curve will get worse.
If someone in your family has scoliosis, your children should be checked regularly.
Neurological testing may be done on children who have scoliosis to see if they have certain disorders that are often associated with scoliosis, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
Early detection
Screening means doing a simple test to see whether further testing might be needed. Some states require screening for scoliosis by law. But experts don't agree with whether or not to screen for scoliosis.3, 4 Screening can lead to early treatment and may prevent curves from getting worse, but screening can also lead to more testing or treatment for children who would not have needed it. Some experts believe that children (especially daughters) of women who have scoliosis should be screened for scoliosis regularly throughout their late childhood and teen years.2 If you are concerned about screening for scoliosis, talk to your child's doctor.
Treatment Overview
The goal of treatment for scoliosis is to prevent the spinal curve from getting worse and to correct or stabilize a severe spinal curve. Fortunately, few people who have spinal curves require treatment.
The type of treatment depends on the cause of scoliosis. Scoliosis that is caused by another condition (nonstructural scoliosis) usually improves when the condition, such as muscle spasms or a difference in leg length, is treated. Scoliosis that is caused by a disease or by an unknown factor (structural scoliosis) is more likely than nonstructural scoliosis to need treatment.
- Nonsurgical treatment. This includes either routine exams by a doctor to check for any curve progression or the use of a brace to stop a spinal curve from getting worse. Children typically have these checkups about every 4 to 6 months. Adults are usually checked about once each year.
- Surgical treatment. Surgery can sometimes decrease the curve and can usually stabilize the spine so the curve does not get worse.
Treatment is based on the age of the person, the size of the curve, and the risk of progression. The risk of progression is based on age at diagnosis, the size of the curve (as measured using X-rays of the spine), and skeletal age (which can be determined by the Risser sign).
- Mild curves are usually checked by the doctor every 4 to 6 months until the bones stop growing, to be sure the curves aren't getting worse.
- Moderate curves may need to be braced until the bones stop growing, to keep the curves from getting worse.
- Severe curves or moderate curves that are getting worse may need surgery.
What to think about
Most cases of scoliosis are mild and do not require treatment.
The timing of surgery for scoliosis in children is controversial. Spinal fusion stops the growth of the fused part of the spine, so some experts believe that surgery should be delayed until the child is at least 10 years old and preferably 12. But even after surgery the rest of the spine will continue to grow normally in children who are still growing.
Scoliosis cannot be prevented. Treatment is aimed at preventing the curve from getting worse.
Home Treatment
If your child or teen has been diagnosed with mild scoliosis, it is important that a doctor check the child's spine every 4 to 6 months to see whether the curve is getting worse. Most spinal curves do not progress to the point where treatment is needed. But it is important to check for curve progression, because early treatment can often stop it.
Impact of scoliosis on a child or teen
Treatment for moderate or severe scoliosis can dramatically impact your child's life. If your child has scoliosis, it is important that your family be sensitive to the difficulty of having scoliosis and wearing a brace. A scoliosis clinic, where other children are being treated, can provide a supportive environment for your child.
Adult scoliosis
Adults who have scoliosis may have back pain. In addition to medicine, other steps that help to maintain or promote good health, such as regular exercise and proper back care, may help relieve back pain for some adults.
When back pain is present with scoliosis, it may be that the curve in the spine is causing stress and pressure on the spinal discs, nerves, muscles, ligaments, or facet joints. It is not usually caused by the curve itself. Some people may use nonprescription medicines such as aspirin and ibuprofen to treat back pain. While these medicines may relieve symptoms of back pain temporarily, they do not heal scoliosis or back injuries, nor do they stop the pain from coming back.
Surgery may be used to treat severe scoliosis. The goal of surgery is to improve a severe spinal curve. The result will not be a perfectly straight spine, but the goal is to balance the spine and to make sure the curve does not get worse. Surgery usually involves stabilizing the spine and keeping the curve from getting worse by permanently joining the vertebrae together.
Things that are considered before surgery include:
- The person's age.
- The size, direction, and location of the spinal curve(s).
- Whether other treatment (such as bracing) has failed.
Surgery may be considered if:
- Your child has a moderate to severe curve or yours is severe, and the curve is getting worse
- You have pain or trouble doing your daily activities.
- Bracing cannot be used or does not work.
Surgery choices
The main type of surgery for scoliosis involves attaching rods to the spine and doing a spinal fusion. Spinal fusion is used to stabilize and reduce the size of the curve and stop the curve from getting worse by permanently joining the vertebrae into a solid mass of bone.
Other techniques are sometimes used, including instrumentation without fusion, which attaches devices such as metal rods to the spine to stabilize a spinal curve without fusing the spine together. This is only done in very young children when a fusion, which stops the growth of the fused part of the spine, is not desirable. The child usually has to wear a brace full-time after having this surgery.
What to think about
The timing of surgery for scoliosis in children is controversial. Spinal fusion stops the growth of the fused part of the spine, so some experts believe that surgery should be delayed until the child is at least 10 years old and preferably 12. But even after surgery the rest of the spine will continue to grow normally in children who are still growing.
Surgical treatment in children and teens usually requires several days in the hospital and limitations on activity for approximately a year. In adults, the average hospital stay is longer.
Adults who have surgery for scoliosis that results from changes in the spine due to aging (degenerative scoliosis) are more likely than children to have significant complications. Even though surgery usually reduces their pain, other complications, such as wound infections, may occur.
Other Treatment
Treatment other than surgery for scoliosis includes:
- Observation. In a child who is still growing, a mild spinal curve may require only regular checkups every 4 to 6 months to see whether the curve is getting worse.
- Wearing a brace. Bracing (orthotic) treatment may be used for a child who has a moderate curve. Bracing may prevent the curve from getting worse as the child grows. Brace treatment is usually continued until the skeleton stops growing.
There is no evidence that corrective exercises, electrical stimulation, or spinal manipulation are effective treatments for scoliosis.

REAL alcoholic insanity? It has NOTHING to do with thinking about drinking. It's happens when life and sobriety is good. When I don't even want, or crave, or think about drinking. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA OF DRINKING ENTERS MY MIND and the next thing I know is: I've already been drinking.
It most often occurs when an alcoholic has been sober for a long period of time and they NO LONGER EVEN THINK ABOUT DRINKING AND THEY NO LONGER EVEN WANT A DRINK!
It most often happens when life is going good. Relationships are good. Job is good. And, NO PROBLEMS are going on!
It's NOT the alcohol or drinking that is so cunning, powerful or baffling... "It's the "ALCOHOL-ISM, that's cunning, powerful and baffling"
Alcohol is a substance. Alcohol-ISM is a condition of mind and body.
The alcoholic's body has an ABNORMAL reaction to alcohol. And, the most dangerous period of the alcoholic's mind is when it "doesn't even think about drinking!"
So, if you're a SOBER alcoholic, and life is going good, and you NO LONGER EVEN THINK ABOUT DRINKING... just remember... that's the most dangerous time for you.
For me... this is why I MUST keep active in a program of sober living. This is WHY I must continue to try to help other alcoholics. This is WHY I must remain active in a Fellowship of Recovering Alcoholics, like AA.
