💡Did you know…
Kids and teens who get spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis often grow into adults who still deal with chronic back pain?
🔎 Studies show that up to 55% of people who had spinal fusion as adolescents report ongoing back pain later in life.
That’s not a number most families hear when surgery is recommended. 😕
Meanwhile, patients who choose conservative care — like bracing combined with strength training, posture work, and neurological rehab — report:
✅ Less back pain
✅ Better long-term function
✅ Greater mobility and independence
👉 A 2013 study even showed that braced patients had less pain than surgical patients over a 15+ year follow-up.
So why don’t more doctors recommend this approach?
Because many only look at the curve — we look at the full picture.
📍 At our clinic, we combine bracing with targeted exercises, contracture release, and root-cause correction — and we see incredible results every day.
