- Daniel Gelb, MD, discusses adult scoliosis and how the potentially debilitating disease can be treated well into the adult years of life. He & the University of Maryland Spine Center team treat the disease conservatively, starting with physical therapy, then consider surgery after other options have failed.

I went to a scoliosis surgeon 3 years ago who would not operate on me because either I would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life or die on the table!
I was diagnosed with scoliosis 1week ago , my degree is 28 I feel quite sad that I have to live with it for the rest of my life but thank God
God bless, i have the same problem with almost 51 degree and increasing 😔😔 need a surgery. Any experience ?
@@kaytaheri9597 since my scoliosis just 28 degree (after puberty) my doc told me that it has stopped so there is no need for an operation , and he advised me to start swimming
just go for a sport like bascketball... swiming...you'll be fine
Wow! This is very informative. I didn't know this had a treatment. Growing up as child in Liberia, I was bullied a lot because of the curve in my back. I did not know about this condition. Blessedly, I am in Australia now and I finally know this condition or curve is abnormal. Also, I am going to seek and start treatment as soon as possible. My only fear is I don't undergo surgery because I am an adult now. I really want to get raid of this curve.
Please can I have your number I need your help? thanks.
I have the same problem. But i'm adult now and don't take any surgery. I'm from Bangladesh. I want to get rid from it.
@@lostintranslation57 they help only in a short run. Scoliosis is a progressive illness, sadly. I've been having it since my childhood, but all the massage, excercise and swimming therapy didn't help. Chiropractic treatment is only effective as long as you do it. I'm 38 now and the pain has been growing badly, I hardly bear it, and i know it will only get worse with time. So I'm considering the surgery
Same I am 30 years old I need help I have severe case of scoliosis
Same Here My Scoliosis Also Severe And Always hurt.
I deal with thoracic scoliosis and dealing with daily pain all day. I feel like I'm about to give up smh.
Don't give up Rodnye..
Good thoughts your way brother!
Got diagnosed myself today.
@@davidpritchard7174 thanks so much man. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Same here. I had pain last year. Took robaxin and mobic and added a new mattress foam.. pain went way. Now it’s back! I should have done the physical therapy!
Here's the cure, everyone: ua-cam.com/video/-el3tg-skrs/v-deo.html
@@Country-Side-Drive hey Lala I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through and I know it can be very frustrating. Thanks for the encouragement, hope you hang in there as well and continue to do research as I am doing. 🙏🏾
I have scoliosis so bad in my tailbone it takes me about anywhere from half an hour to 40 minutes to get on the bed comfortably. Pain gets worse every year so that's what feels like I'm going to end up in a wheelchair from this.
I feel you Jennifer, I hope you will do better. Mine is not severe but still have problems training and it's heartbreaking since I always used to go to the gym a lot - I will do whatever I can to get back training - even if with different exercises.
@@Lapestebubbonica same here.but came to know today that I have scoliosis 😅
Was diagnosed with congenital scoliosis at the age of 27 was shocking to say least cannot be operated as was discovered too late in life. Often people tell me its not painful its funny these tend not to have scoliosis... my curve is 48 degrees to add to that got fibromyalgia and EDS in a word ouch
Debbie Revell omg!! I'm so sorry!! No, this pain is ABSO-LUTELY horrible!! I've had a lot of painful experiences in my life- emotionally, mentally, spiritually, & of course physically. Scoliosis is no joke & chronic severe back pain is utterly exhausting!! Any severe chronic pain is. Everyone's pain is different & everyone's pain tolerance level is different, so no one can speak to how bad your pain is or my pain is. However, I'd just have to side with you that this IS certainly awful & very much hurts a great deal!! I hope you find some relief ASAP & can heal up!! Healing, healthy, & positive vibes sent your way❣️👍🏻💪🏻💖🌟🙌🏻🙏🏻☺️
@@stellarstar9340 you have made me day here! Having a bed ridden day reading such kind words truly lifts the spirits! Gentle hugs to you and your wise words. PS co coa by stella star one of the best songs ever if thats who your named after ::P
Please look into asc or vbt surgery it use a flexible cord instead of rods. I’m 25 and trying to figure out how to get it
@@kylemcnab927 Hey there ! My degree was 45 afew years back and now i’m 30 years with 51 degree. My doctor suggested to do a surgery before a year. What was your action into this matter ? Did you do surgery or other things for treatment ?

I was told I was too old to have surgery and nothing could be done. I'm in my 40's and didn't know I had scoliosis. Until 4 years ago. When an X-ray tech showed me the X-ray. Now I'm in severe pain and on permanent disability. But in saying that. Wearing a back brace helps, tucking a pillow under my back helps, and using KT tape also has helped. I'm exercising not intensely. Just moving my body and figuring out what exercises will be beneficial. But sometimes I have to give in and take Motrin or something stronger. Sometimes I have a good day. Then out of nowhere, a flareup. If I can't manage the pain. Then back to the Physical Medicine Doctor, I go.☹️
Is there a number l can call to talk further about scoliosis? I'm 55 years old and need help, please help.
at 45 back in 1983,, from Georgia I went to Norton children hospital in Louis Ville ky
be careful where you go..

Same
We should start a group on FB or social media for adults with scoliosis to share info and chat with one another. 55 male here as well Harold and am currently in a great deal of pain from my scoliosis and terrible flare up of hip bursitis.
Do you think somebody who is 24 with a S curve 32 top of curve & 31 bottom of curve can have surgery? I have done every form of treatment and I’m still in so much pain. I’m over it! Anyone in this situation?
I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was in 7th grade, now I am 27 and still have scoliosis but it is very severe. I am and always have been terrified of the surgery, but I feel like it is starting to effect my breathing.

you might have precordial catch syndrome. thats what I have and it sometimes gives me a sharp pain when I breathe in. i think it's caused by my scoliosis, but not sure.
N M mine is caused by the curvature of my spine, my spine is curved towards my lungs and also when your spine is curved like that it causes less circulation.
What’s your degree ? Is it improved or not ?
@@kaytaheri9597 I have a 72 degree in the middle and a 31 at the bottom
I need help I am 30 years old and I have severe case of scoliosis and it's getting worst
try see if you can go see a specialist and get scans. I have Scoliosis and I am in my 40s. I wore a back brace for ten years but still I suffer pain daily. It sucks and I feel for you. But see to it right away to get some professional advice 😀

look no further.
I have had scoliosis for over 8 years now but I neglected it when I first noticed over the years cause I thought it was as a result of bad posture so I didn’t take it serious. Now I’m 22 and it really hurts now, I can’t stand for long cause my waist gets sore. My curve as of the last time I went for an X-ray was at 40 degree. Can a brace and exercise help out or is it compulsory I undergo a surgery

Sir can scoliosis be cured by exercise completely
Deepanjali Sharma no. Your spine cannot be uncurved unless you have surgery. However, proper exercises & movements for core strengthening can absolutely HELP lessen & improve a lot of your current pain & discomfort. I would definitely recommend trying daily scoliosis exercises. There's a lot of great UA-cam video tutorials of some really helpful exercises you can do every day. Resistance bands are a God send as well! 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻💪🏻❣️💯☺️🙏🏻

Is there any improvement in your curve .I also have the scoliosis.
bla bla bla , nothing new, same talk,... come up with something "out of the box" it is being 100 years with the same fussion for adults,...:(
He’s literally just trying to spread awareness, fuck you.
At what curvature would you recommend bracing and surgery for a 17 year old?
I’m wondering this as well. Were you ever braced and if so what was the degree of your curve??? Also did u end up having to get surgery?
Me too, I’m wondering over the same age. I was told I was done growing and I shouldn’t have gotten this, but who knew
@@gabylessthan3 I'm 20 but my doctor said most kids who are 15 and under can, but most spines are fully developed at 17 or 18 sadly. It's up to your doctor to decide and most insurance can cover x-rays as well as physical therapy.
Wet Wasabi Yeah, but my point was that I finished growing 2 years ago. And all of a sudden my spine said “S”, I’m scheduled for PT, thankfully.
30 to 40 degrees bracing

Debbie Revell I did. I have had scoliosis my entire life. Just had scoliosis spinal fusion surgery November 2019. I’m 58 years old. I knew I had it when I was young, but my curve wasn’t that bad. It got much worse in later years. I’m fused from T-3 to my pelvis.
I do also have congenital scoliosis and stenosis but mine is due to cerebral palsy. Now I'm 27 and have small fiber polyneuropathy it does affect my back and everywhere in my body though the test came back low normal. I've always had chronic lower back and hip pain
@@amythomas1124 how are you doing now? I am possibly looking at surgery. I am 56 and I have s curve. Top is 50 degrees and bottom is 36. It's getting debilitating.
@@Skirkly I am doing wonderful! No pain whatsoever! I found a great Surgeon in St. Louis, Missouri! He finally repaired my spine. I really thought I was gonna be disabled the rest of my life till I found him. I’m 61 now, and plan on enjoying my Golden years with my wonderful husband of almost 33 years! ❤️ Prayers to you, and God Bless! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@amythomas1124 thanks for the update. I feel absolutely powerless and hopeless. I have talked to 4 doctors and they all say something different. I will have to do something. Thank you for responding.
