16 Scoliosis World w/ Dr Morningstar: Risk-Based Treatment
Update: 2023-02-07
Description
- Historically, scoliosis treatment is based on the curve measurement
- The curve measurement is not the only thing effecting quality of life issues and pain levels
- Given that, why do anything based on the curve measurement alone?
- At ScoliSMART, we treat patients based upon a “risk assessment”
- Example: Younger children with the same degree curve as older children need to have more aggressive treatment because they have more growth ahead of them
- What we see on an x-ray that we call scoliosis is not really the entire condition, It is the end-stage cascade of things going wrong in scoliosis
- We seek lasting-outcomes and to prevent anything from sabotaging that
- We assess biochemical and genomic risk factors
- Treatments are tailored to the individual
