Episode 56: Scoliosis Surgery vs Scoliosis Treatment Without Surgery: Victoria's Story

Subscribe:

We do believe there's a genetic link or a genetic predisposition to develop scoliosis. So, if there’s somebody in the family that does have scoliosis, you want to be extra careful. But we also see families that have no other person with scoliosis. Only one person gets it, so there is not a genetic cause, but there is a genetic link to it.

In this episode, we learn that Victoria’s mom was diagnosed with scoliosis at an early age. Her grandfather also has scoliosis. Thus, her family was concerned about her developing scoliosis too.

So, when Victoria indeed developed the signs of scoliosis she was immediately brought to the doctor and got an X-ray. The option back then was to put her in a brace and watch her.

Victoria’s mom got a Boston Brace but still, the curve progressed. She had a fusion in her spine, and even after the fusion, the curve is still progressing. Having to go through that and finding out that your curve only worsened, and now, 20 years later, doctors are recommending the exact same treatment for Victoria. She wouldn’t want to put her daughter through all the pain that she experienced. So, her parents searched the Internet and researched for some form of alternate treatment.

Having been diagnosed at a very young age, Victoria has got so much potential.

To find out more about Victoria and her journey, check out Dr. Tony Nalda’s podcast.
