You can sign up for suspension therapy. It's copay but by aunt did it for years to treat her back problems. It's not like this where you're upright, but you're held up on your ~~side~~ (EDIT: any prone-oriented position) by slings that raise and lower your hip, lumbar, shoulders, and legs at different angles to get your spine to lean into the "straight" orientation in the lateral direction.

P.S. never go to Chiropractors. Look for certified physical therapists.

That honestly sounds amazing. I'll look it up, thank you.

there was a news story (in the u.s.) while back about someone putting their child into a full-body DIY back brace to ''fix her posture'' or whatever and caused her injuries and it turned into a custody dispute to get her out of there... could be apocryphal, don't have a link

I remember that - it was a few years back, I'll see if I can find the link.

BORU link with links to original

Why does this look like it came out of either a horror movie or a dark souls boss?

I'd love such a dark souls boss, could be the cursed ghost of her or sth

What, no electricity, radium, or morphine? No wonder it was ineffective.
