Also look into a spinal cord stimulator implant. I'm not a candidate because my spine is too curved to put in leads.

can you tell me where they do this procedure? Is it for loosing up the muscles?
My spine is very curved too. Cobb angle now 56 degrees...

Your pain management doctor can do the trial test. Then if it works a neuro surgeon would do the permanent transplant

And maybe you're a candidate. My curve is 78 degrees

My mother has severe scoliosis. She Has had the stimulator and says it hasn’t seemed to help. If you don’t mind me asking what are your daily activities like? She has a hard time doing much at all. She spends the majority of her days laying in bed. I feel horrible for her and would love to be able to share someone’s else’s story with her.
