I've had scoliosis and torticollis my entire life. I haven't known anything different and no one seems to think my pain is a big deal.
Recently i've noticed that my back is hurting more and more at work. I get a burning sensation and it's difficult to stay standing. I don't really know what other...

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to take some pictures of my back in an attempt to better understand the problem and get to know scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis better. I believe that better understanding leads to motivation which leads to change. It is my wish that we can discuss the different...

I've read a lot of good things on here about Dr. Kebaish at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. I am currently seeing Dr. Michael Ain for my scoliosis, and he is also at Hopkins. He has recommended surgery for my now-progressed AIS curves (I was diagnosed at age 12 and have never had a surgery). I am...

Hi all,

My name is Katey and this is my first post, though I've been reading for awhile. I am a 24 y.o. female with a 50 degree thoracic curve. The worst of it is between T3-T6. I have not had surgery and have not yet had a doctor want to do surgery, though I am leaning (haha- literally)...

Hello, I want to introduce myself, I'm Dr. Neel Anand. I specialize in minimally invasive spine surgery and I created a new, minimally invasive procedure that straightens out the spine and maintains the correction.

Hi, I have "mild" scoliosis which causes me quite a bit of pain and tightness in my back.

Well, I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was around 14 and I'm 18 now. When I was 16, after noticing that my curvature had increased (top and bottom are both between 35 and 40), my orthopedist suggested I have a spinal fusion soon, while I was still a teenager. Unfortunately, my doctor was retiring...
