Understanding Scoliosis Correction Surgery: A Path to Spinal Health

Scoliosis correction surgery is an advanced medical procedure designed to address significant spinal curvature and restore proper alignment to your spine. At Legent Spine, we understand that considering surgery for scoliosis is a significant decision, and we’re here to guide you through the process with expertise and compassion.

What Does Scoliosis Surgery Accomplish?

This specialized procedure aims to:

• Straighten and stabilize the curved spine
• Prevent further progression of the curve
• Reduce pain and discomfort
• Improve overall posture and appearance
• Enhance breathing and physical function

When Is Surgery Recommended?

Our spine specialists typically recommend surgical correction when:

• The spinal curve exceeds 45-50 degrees
• Conservative treatments haven’t been effective
• The curve is rapidly progressing
• Daily activities are significantly impacted

The Surgical Process

Using state-of-the-art techniques, we carefully place specialized supports (such as rods and screws) to help straighten your spine and maintain its new position. This creates a stable foundation for healing and long-term spinal health. The procedure is customized to each patient’s specific needs, considering factors like age, curve severity, and overall health.

While recovery requires dedication and patience, most patients experience significant improvements in their quality of life. Our comprehensive post-surgery care includes:

• Personalized pain management strategies
• Structured physical therapy programs
• Regular follow-up appointments
• Long-term monitoring of progress
