My name is Dave, I am the father of a 13 year old daughter with idiopathic scoliosis (cork). We have seen (2) florida Orthopedic surgeons. All Childrens St Petersburg, and Miami Childrens. My daughter Courtney or cork as I like to call her, has a t56* and a L26* both the surgeon's have suggested surgey as the only option, and have dismissed yoga, chiropractic and other options. Concerned after looking at the apparatus suggested that future pain may arise? also concerned that the device may be visable after the surgey and she may get self conscious about it later. We are scheduled to see another orth in Orlando later this week. I have been reading many posts about Shriners, When we contacted Shriners Tampa they suggested Shriners Louisville for this type of surgery. Trying to make educated decisions without being educated. Trying to get some response from peoplke who have had this surgery as a child and are now older 10+ years post op. Was surgery the correct move?
Thanks to all.
Thanks to all.
