Hi all,
A question about the medical "standard of care" for scoliosis.. my understanding is that if a person with scoliosis sees an orthopedic doctor, and certain conditions exist, the "standard of care" (aka industry standard, or common recommendation among most or all ortho docs/ surgeons) would be to have surgery.
If this is true, what are the conditions? I'm guessing degree of curvature, progression, level of pain? Anyone know?
Thanks.
Marian
