Scoliosis is an aggravating condition.
There's stiffness, pain and often times a deformed posture.
Many scoliosis patients have been told they only have three choices -- to do nothing, bracing, or surgery.
Scoliosis surgery involves implanting metal rods and screws to straighten the spine.
However, numerous studies have shown that multiple complications, including rusting and corrosion, bending, or breaking completely, prove this method dangerous.
Many sufferers who had the rods implanted, end up later undergoing surgery to have them removed.
In addition, thousands of post-surgery scoliosis patients are legally declared permanently disabled every year. Follow up x-rays on other cases have shown that scoliosis can even return years after the operation.
Hi Dr. Moulas,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your post! I investigated the medical techniques to help resolve scoliosis...they do not seem to effective long term. In addition, the risk of surgery and subsequent damage and removal of the rods seems to have a high risk.
