Yes. I keep mentioning it. I like to think of the word cure as a "complete restoration" not just relieving symptoms or some symptoms when the underlying problem still exists.
A cure "ends" a medical condition.
Living with scoliosis hardware is not a cure. It can be a huge relief and improvement for many, but the reasons why we have scoliosis in the first place, are still there....
Headaches, dizziness, vertigo, lethargy, muscle gripping and pain, gait issues, subsequent disc problems, PJK, metallosis, ear and vision problems, zaps, stings, jolts, stiffness, numbness, soft tissue injury, rib humps, imbalance, psychological disorders, depression, anxiety, reduction of lung tissue and inspiration, hormonal changes, bowel and digestion problems, and Aunt Ester popping in can still continue....(scoliosis forum humor)
And revision surgery can still continue.....and there is no temporary cure and its a very see-saw, with up and down days living with scoliosis.
The kids do much better at this.....and technology has gotten much better. You would want to believe that you have done good as a parent, and you have, but its still there.
Biotech companies are focused on harnessing CRISPR gene editing to fight disease....Let all hope they can do something in a reasonable amount of time.(25 years)
I rode a horse English saddle indoors many year ago in Denver. They gave me specific instructions that were actually quite exacting, just slight inward pressure with the knees for turns. I had no problems with this horse, steer him on a dime, and I don't know much about horses. I remember telling the horse to canter with a soft voice. It was amazing how responsive a good horse can be. His name was Shadowfax. (Just kidding)
