Medical Weight Loss
Patients with painful scoliosis but no documented curve progression should be managed nonoperatively initially. Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, manipulation, exercise, weight loss, and activity modifications. For older patients who are not considered to be surgical candidates, bracing may be effective for relief of pain not responsive to these other measures. Adult patients cannot expect permanent correction of their deformity with bracing, however.
Emergency Care
If problems arise during any phase of the treatment or after surgery, please call us day or night at (806) 354-2529. For medical emergencies please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

MRI
Other radiographic studies are often needed, particularly when planning surgical treatment. These may include hyperextension radiographs to assess flexibility, oblique radiographs to assess for pseudarthroses, and magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography / myelography to evaluate the spinal canal.

Scoliosis Surgery
Flat-back syndrome is a recognized complication of scoliosis surgery. It is a postural disorder, primarily caused by loss of normal lumbar lordosis. This results in forward inclination of the trunk, back pain, and inability to stand erect without flexing the knees (Fig 1). This article reviews the diagnosis, pathogenesis, management, and prevention of flat-back syndrome.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Nonsurgical attempts at symptomatic relief in patients with flat-back syndrome is most often unsuccessful but should be initiated in most patients, especially those with mild deformity. Physical therapy with spinal extension exercises, attempts to increase hip extension, and non-narcotic medication may provide enough symptomatic relief in patients with mild sagittal imbalance to avoid surgical treatment. If anterior displacement of the sagittal vertical axis is greater than 4 cm or the patients have failed conservative measures and remain symptomatic, surgical treatment may be indicated.
