Scoliosis

Patient image of: Kristy Rosenberg

I was born with scoliosis but led a very active, athletic life through my early 40s. Years of daily long-distance running and cross-country skate-skiing finally took their toll, resulting in scoliosis-related facet deterioration and extremely painful spondylolisthesis. Dr. Farmer realigned the vertebra, performed fusion, and I'm happy to say I've been active and pain-free for 22 years!
