Teenaged, Have Stuttered Growth, Curved Spine Due To Scoliosis. Is There Any Treatment Or Surgery To Rectify This?
Hi Im 18 years old and I had been diognoise scroliosis when I was 16 (but I think ive had this since I was 14). The orthopedic doctor took xrays from me and basically said that theres nothing they could do. So a year later I went back to see the orthopedic doctor for a check up and she said that nothing has change, but when I asked her about the degree of curve she could give me a define answer. All she said was at the age 17 I wont grow anymore, so the curve will also stop growing. So my question is there any other treatments other than surgery I can get inorder to correct the curve of my spine because I dont really like the look of my back and shoulders.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that the surgery is the best option for the scoliosis and no other method would give the best result than the surgery, nowadays this surgery being done with most advance technic with the minimal side effect, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
