DID YOU KNOW?! Your spine functions independently of the brain!

Your brain is connected to the spinal cord. However, the spinal cord doesn’t take all commands from the brain and it has the ability to send direct signals to the muscles. A good example of this is a muscle spasm, where reflex signals that cause movement don’t come from the brain.🤯🧠

🩺 Why Your Scoliosis Doctor Should "Age" With You! 🩺

Living with scoliosis is a journey, not a sprint. From childhood to adulthood, your spine undergoes changes, and so do your needs when it comes to managing your condition. That's why having a scoliosis doctor who can literally "age" with you is incredibly important!

Here’s why continuity of care is key:

Deep Understanding of Your Unique Case: A doctor who has treated you over many years understands the nuances of your specific curve, your personal history, past treatments, and how your body responds. This long-term perspective is invaluable for personalized care.

Tracking Progression Over Time: Scoliosis can progress at different rates during various life stages (e.g., rapid progression during adolescent growth spurts, potential changes during pregnancy or with age). A consistent doctor can accurately track these changes and intervene appropriately.

Seamless Transition from Pediatric to Adult Care: This is a critical period for many scoliosis patients. A doctor who treats both children and adults, or a team that collaborates closely, ensures a smooth handover, preventing gaps in care and anxiety for patients and families.

Addressing Age-Related Concerns: As we age, new considerations arise, such as spinal degeneration, arthritis, or osteoporosis, which can impact scoliosis. A long-term doctor can anticipate and address these issues proactively, integrating them into your scoliosis management plan.

Building Trust and Comfort: Let's be honest – talking about your spine and body can be personal. Having a consistent, trusted medical professional makes you feel more comfortable and confident in your treatment decisions.

Whether you're a parent of a child with scoliosis or an adult managing your own curve, consider the benefits of a long-term relationship with your scoliosis specialist. It's about more than just appointments; it's about building a comprehensive, lifelong care strategy!
