What are the key takeaway messages for June Scoliosis awareness month?

June Scoliosis Awareness: Emphasizing Balanced Treatment Approaches

• Early Detection: Identifying and monitoring scoliosis early can prevent cardiopulmonary complications.
• Cardiopulmonary Concerns: Not all untreated scoliosis leads to cardiopulmonary issues.
• Cosmetic Treatment: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis treatments are often for cosmetic reasons.
• Conservative Treatments: Bracing and Schroth exercises can be effective in early stages but shouldn’t be the sole treatment.
• Scoliosis ≠ Surgery: Not all scoliosis cases require surgery.
• Preserve Mobility: Maintaining the mobility of the spine is crucial in any treatment.
• Rewarding Surgery: When indicated, surgery can be highly beneficial.
• Avoid Unnecessary Surgery: Especially for long segment lumbar spine fusion, as mobility is the key.
• Second opinion: Fusion surgery limits motion and can lead to complications; always seek a second opinion.
• Research and Questions: Conduct thorough research and ask your spine experts all the necessary questions.
