Side Effects Of Scoliosis Surgery

Posted by abby smiths on April 7th, 2017

Scoliosis surgery is about a ten-hour long surgery in which they open up the body of the patient on the side and back. Any patient who has undergone this painful remedial procedure knows that surgeons would put three rods in their back which would be held together with the help of five screws. In order to help the patient’s bone grow, doctors take out one of the ribs and six of the discs, and if the need arises they also take a bone graft from their lower hip. Then they  take this bone and fill three cages that are meant to hold the bone which are in between the vertebra. If it sounds, gruesome, remember this is just the beginning.

Scoliosis Surgery is not a remedy

Corrective spinal surgery for scoliosis can be quite a distressing experience for adolescent patients and their parents. Spinal surgery often involves an extensive amount of tissue and bone trauma that can result in excruciating pain that the patient simply has to live with.

Worse, there is no guarantee that despite the steep cost of spinal surgery, the results would be as expected. In many cases, the remedy can be worse than the disease.

Then why do so many scoliosis patients continue to opt for spinal surgery? That's a million dollar question! We’ve been baffled by it and discovered that over these years, we have veered so far away from traditional modes of treatment and scalpel-free cures, that we've forgotten that there were "miraculous" recoveries from scoliosis even when doctors didn't wield any scalpel.

After surveying a lot of patients suffering from severe scoliosis and understanding the side effects of scoliosis surgery, doctors have derived a conclusion - time tested non-surgical methods are far more effective than the surgical kinds.

Non surgical treatment of scoliosis in VA offer a combination of  effective, safe and painless treatment for various disorders of the spine such as neck problems, low back pain and slipped disc. 

Non-surgical Scoliosis Correction techniques draw the best protocols and methods from around the world, such as the Schroth method pioneered in Germany, the Vertetrac system developed in Israel and also vibration therapy, and physical therapy used in U.S.A. for correcting spinal curves , low back pain, sciatica and herniation, with very encouraging results. 

The biggest advantage of Non-surgical Scoliosis Correction is that besides being painless, it's more cost-effective and there are no side effects!

Remember if you begin your treatment with the commitment to follow through with the recommended exercise and treatment protocols over a period of time, a complete scoliosis cure is within reach, no doubt.
