Scoliosis: why choose
rehabilitation treatment?
I have scoliosis. What should I do? Do I absolutely have to follow treatment, or is there no point? Will I need to be operated on? These are questions we often get asked by patients who have been diagnosed with scoliosis.
Therapeutic approaches to scoliosis fall into two categories: surgical treatment, indicated only in a limited number of cases, and conservative treatment, which we prefer to call rehabilitation treatment.

Andrea's story
Hi, I'm Andrea. It's now been nearly two years, and I finally feel ready, and brave enough, to speak out.
Over time, I have come to realise that people are often judged for the way they look and not for who they really are. So, I may not have a six-pack with super-toned abs, and I haven't got a straight back like other teenagers, but to be honest, none of that worries me anymore.
It is the people who can see your worth without bothering about your appearance...
When is surgery inevitable?
Surgery must be the patient's choice, taken together with the doctor and the patient's family.
Given its risks and possible complications, surgery is not a decision that can be imposed on a patient.
What doctors must do, is make sure patients and their families are given all the correct information about their condition (based on scientific evidence and not just on their personal opinions) and then the right tools, so as to ensure that they are treated as effectively as possible.
It is important to remember that surgery is a definitive choice, and once it is undertaken, there is no going back.
