The Scoliosis Research Society provides information on these web pages regarding research and links as a public service. The SRS believes that patients should contact their treating physician about the relevance of any information listed on the site prior to proceeding with any particular treatment.

Therefore, your spinal deformity surgeon will be the most important source of information about the management of your particular spinal problem.
