A minimal number of scoliosis patients require surgery to correct the curve or address scoliosis-related issues. Some patients experience a pinched nerve or a narrowing of the foramen due to their scoliosis.
At DISC, our doctors are leaders in endoscopic spine surgery, which for some select patients can be used to decompress a pinched nerve.
If back bracing does not correct debilitating spinal curves, a spinal fusion has shown to be very successful in stopping the progression of spine curvature. Spinal fusion surgery is able to straighten the curved spine, significantly improving the patient’s quality of life.
