33 Scoliosis World: The Myth of Curve-Centered Care

Episode 33 - Scoliosis surgery is often presented as a permanent solution for spine curvature, but it may not address the underlying functional and neurological factors that influence spinal health. In this video, we explore why surgical solutions for scoliosis aren’t always ideal and what limitations they may have when it comes to long-term mobility, adaptability, and nervous system function. We discuss how spinal fusion and other surgical interventions can restrict natural movement, shift stress to surrounding areas, and sometimes lead to compensatory patterns elsewhere in the body. From a holistic and natural spine health perspective, we look at why supporting function, balance, and movement may be an important part of scoliosis care. This video is intended for those seeking to understand non-surgical and conservative approaches to scoliosis, and why surgery may not always be the first or best option depending on the individual.
