Thank you very much for this very useful and touching interview. Our daughter is using Gensingen brave. It is similar to Cheneau-Rigo, it seems. What is the difference between these two types of braces?

Hello! how much load can an arc withstand? I have done fusion surgery, my both arcs are 51 cm length. Whole spine fixed. I care about construction (I broke one before and did re-op), but how sturdy is it theoretically?

Hello ! my 15 year old girl is undergoing a surgery. She has 60 angle scoliosis. Is it possible that she got this frome beeing sad ?

Hi doctor im 26 years old just diagnosed with scoliosis Lumbar left side 18 degree curve & Thoracic right side 11 Degree curve should i worry about progressions ? I have little pain in my lower back taking medicine and doing exercise My main concern is will it progress??

I'm turning 60 had Herrington rod surgery when I was 12.2 children and breast later, I am now having issues 😢and I don't know what to do

So you saying extension ex progress the scoliosis or doing it has no effect and the muscle imbalance between the two side when doing extensions increase the hump or has no effect so extenstion is forbidden or what? Btw Thanks for these glorious information

Does anyone know the latest research on this? I have hypokyphosis of the thoracic spine( loss of thoracic curvature and my primary curve is in the thoracic region. I have terrible neck pain as my spinal curves are reversing the other way around. Does anyone know how to fix flattening of the spine? This is agony!

Is this information for children only or also for adults with Scoliosis?

I’m a 64 year old with scoliosis (I didn’t know until my 50’s that I had the condition) Tried spinal injections, PT and all the tests. Neurosurgeon has been my last stop. Pinched nerve, numbness in my feet, sciatica. At this point, a local neurosurgeon says that I have two options for surgery. Fusion of L4 to L5 or fusion from T12 to L4. I’ve not scheduled surgery because I’m not ready. I’m thinking of going back to conservative care.. I’m at 27 degrees. Thank you for this wonderful video.

That is such a valuable interview! Mr Ramos has a deep understanding of how bracing works and is truly passionate about it. I liked a lot the fact, he noted that there is a discrepancy between what he sees in his practice and what is officially supported by studies.

Thank you for saving my soulmates life!! She had Dr.Braun for a life changing surgery and he did an amazing job!!

Man I wish she was doing my sons casts.

🙌🙏🙏👏

Amazing! I am 62yrs young and have a severe set of multiplanar curves….I live in constant pain. It’s worse where my lower ribs rub and grind into my upper pelvic crest. Lumbar, thoracic and lordotic curves…..I fantasize what relief from all this bio mechanical constriction would feel like. I wonder if I would be a possible candidate for spinal tethering…..or am I too old? I was also born without a right hip structure and have had multiple reconstructive surgeries with blessedly miraculous success. I am very active and try to pretend there’s no pain. But the truth is every step is a choreographed one and I find that managing constant pain is very tiring. Thank you for the caring research inquiries you share with us.

are you sure her statements regarding side plank is correct for someone with an S curve where right thoracic is curved and left lumbar is curved? convex side in thoracic is the right side and i’ve read many sources that say that this side should be in the air, not on the ground like she is demonstrating

regarding sleeping positions, it seems like the two slides are contradictory. the first slide implies it is incorrect to sleep on the left whereas the second implies it is better since the right side is the convex side. which one is it?

can you please provide the title of the "yellow book"? lovely PT, and awesome presentation.

Dr. Lee, i spoke to Dr. Antonacci’s spinal fusion friend (Dr.Geck) and he said that with a growing spine the risk of it breaking are high and that he recommends me to get fusion. He said that he has had to correct the ASC surgery before in growing spines. Here Dr. Antonacci says its a 3% chance that it would break. Im not sure to believe. Dr. Geck seemed that i should not get the ASC method but to go with his. I do not want to make a mistake, but what do you think? I am 16 and almost skeletally mature and want to stay away from fusion but I’m not sure what is the best option. I would be grateful to hear from you.

What kinds of exercises should people with this type of scoliosis avoid?

Great presentation with great cases. 👏👏👏 Thank you Dr. Abul and Dr. Lee

I listened all the way through and will have to listen to this again as I absorb the concepts. Thank you so very much for posting this and all the slides are so helpful to see the issues rather than just having them described. So grateful!

now i know how to identify T12 and L5 😄

I am 91+ years of age. Apparently I have a 50 degree curvature and I have 3 curves. What do you expect my treatments might be?. LK from Canada. Thank you 😊

Where do you come from DR

I’m wondering if this can be caused by a lifetime of stomach sleep before puberty resulting in increased pressure on the posterior spine in adolescence.

What is your treatment for a 91+years of age individual? I’m not sure what degree my curvature is. LK from Canada😊😊

Hi I’d like to become more flexible learn back bends etc and I have an s curve. Will this really make my curve worse? How do I find out which flexible stretches are okay? Should I see a pt? This lecture gave a brief explanation on flexibility but as I want to train in flexibility I’d like to learn more

What Is the cost for ASC surgery in Italy with dr berjano?

What criteria do you use to recommend surgery?

This is strange what she explained about the planks.. a left sided plank feels very bad on my lumbar curve right away. At the Schroth therapy i was, they also made me do it, just to demonstrate that it isn't right. Maybe it depends on the severity of the curve, or i don't know...

Thank you for these interviews Dr. Lee. I am a young adult with scoliosis, trying to determine weather surgery is worth it in the long run. Do scoliosis correction surgeries increase risk of disc herniation? Also, do the metal screws weaken the vertebrae?

I would add that pain in adults with scoliosis is not the only issue. The progression of the curves that leads to pressure on the organs and decrease of pulmonary function is a major thing to worry about. So, slowing down the progression of the curve as much as possible should also be a priority. At least in cases with severe scoliosis.

I want to have this surgery, but it's saddening that there are no doctors performing it in my country, South Korea. When might South Korea see the emergence of alternative options to spinal fusion surgery?

It’s my doctor! He’s like one of the top Scoli doctors in Canada!

Hello. Thank you for your video! I live in Frisco, near Dallas Texas. Can you recommend the Schroth theraphy expert around us?

Definitely a process @feldenkraisdojo4457, a d for those who believe astrology has something, Saturn is associated with structure and bones. Mine was retrograde in my birth chart and many hard aspects pointing there! Yet didn't develop until adolescence!

Dr.Hagit is a so Energetic teacher & serve the nation as a Best therapist He is sincere is work. I like & follow her.

Dr. is so caring and honest.Where is he located?

The degree doesn’t always tell the story of the pain the person is in- no one thinks a moderate curves cause issues? Please help

What do you do when a doctor doesn’t think your curvature has anything to do with your pain.? I went to a chiropractor prior to ever having these issues now.. please - thoughts?

So it's not caused by bad posture

Can this be done for an adult with S curve due to congenital scoliosis due to 2 hemivertebrae. The curve is S shape with upper curve being 50 degrees and lower being 36 degrees all in the L1 to S1 lumbar area or possibly starting right above L1.

I have been looking for this type of surgery for my son for a long time and he is now 25, brace/exercises did not help. I cannot find this type of surgery here in Canada and wonder how much it would cost, this would be a blessing as he is constantly asking where he can go for this.

Thank you Dr. Lee and Dr. Antonacci. I want to ask what the cord breakage rate is so far for adults in recent years since you started the double screw double cord technique.

Hello Dr. Lee, yes I would love to hear a discussion on Schroth Scoliosis Therapy on adults that have had the harrington rod surgery for scoliosis. I am considering it myself to see what the benefits could be after having the surgery when I was a teenager. Thank you
