When it comes to scoliosis, 4 management options are considered: observation, scoliosis-specific exercise, bracing, and surgery. Surgery is the last resort, and less than 2% of scoliosis patients will ever need surgery.\u00a0 However, if you are one of those people, then 2% suddenly doesn’t feel like such a small percentage. If you are looking at having surgery and you are unsure, we have some news for you that might ease that stress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the United States, where we are located, it is generally recommended that curves over 50 degrees be surgically straightened or stabilized if straightening isn’t possible. Why? Can’t we live happily with our curvy spines? No, as our spines become a bit too curvy, the lungs and heart are impacted and don’t function as well as they should: thoracic insufficiency syndrome. <\/a>Having surgery can stabilize the thoracic spine and region, allowing the heart and lungs to breathe and beat more easily. So you see, at times, scoliosis surgery is life-saving. It’s not a matter of appearance — it’s a matter of breath and life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is scoliosis-specific exercise important if surgery for some is inevitable? Two words: Strength and flexibility. We have reports from Scolio-Pilates Practitioners that have had spinal fusion that their doctors were very pleased with the amount of mobility available in their spines. Why is that important? Because the surgeon can achieve more correction if there is more mobility. We also have a practitioner in Arizona, Patti Green, who works primarily with children, and the surgeons she works with are very pleased with the outcomes that the children achieve after surgery. They recover very well.\u00a0 I don’t have blogs from these two sources to link to yet, but I’ll get them linked here as soon as they are ready.<\/p>\n

Again, why surgery? Why not live with the curve, especially if my heart and lungs are fine?\u00a0 According to the <\/span>Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic Rehabilitation and Treatmen<\/span><\/a>t (SOSORT), \u201c<\/span>Over 50\u00b0 [scoliosis curves], there is a consensus that it is almost certain that scoliosis is going to progress in adulthood and cause health problems and reduction of quality of life.\u201d\u00a0 It is also presumed that a scoliosis curve will progress .5 to 1 degree a year. For this reason, when a surgeon sees a child of 16 years old with a 50-degree curve, her thought is forward 40 years to when the child is 56 and now the curve measures 75 degrees? 90 degrees? This is the concern.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to educate yourself about scoliosis surgery. The best place to do that is with those who specialize in surgery. We recommend the information found at Nemours Childrens Health <\/a>for a brief overview. For an in-depth 12-page PDF on scoliosis surgery, please see this document:\u00a0 The Scoliois Research Society Answers Questions About Scoliosis Surgery.<\/a><\/p>\n
