The Truth About Scoliosis Fusion Surgery

Did you know that 2-3% of the U.S. population has scoliosis? That population totals 7 million people, but in 80% of cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown. Scoliosis most often occurs between the ages of 10-15, and affects 7 girls for every 1 boy. Spinal fusion surgery is often the “solution” proposed by doctors for fixing scoliosis, but scoliosis surgery leaves many patients with life-long complications. Instead, there are many superior alternatives:  physical therapy, scoliosis exercises, nutritional support, and ScoliSMART rehab programs (to name a few).
