Scoliosis: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Share this Story
I had adolescent onset scoliosis, which was 1st treated as a teenager with the Harrington Rod. I've had 2 kids and thousands of miles ridden across the USA. 20 years later, I needed a second surgery for correction w/ Dr. Boachie for adult deformity scoliosis/kyphosis to relieve chronic pain, which was a huge success. Dr. Jeffrey Ngeow was a prince helping me through years of pain with brilliant pain management. I'm so grateful for my experience & outcome. Third surgery 6 years ago to correct additional deformity & pain. Still riding! Feeling fab. Now living the life in LA laughing, working out, hiking & riding.
