The Value of Scoliosis Care
Scientific studies
have confirmed that there is a direct correlation between
a patient's perception of their health as measured by a
health questionnaire, their mortality rate, and the severity
of their scoliosis. In other words, the larger the
degree of curvature, the more the scoliosis impacts your
overall health and well-being, and reduces your lifespan.
Obviously, every
degree of correction counts! But
what is the real cost, per degree?
Let's take a moment to examine the value of various methods
of scoliosis treatment as applied to a hypothetical patient
with a 50 degree Cobb angle.
Harrington Rod
Surgery: At a cost of roughly
$120,000, the surgeon performing the operation will
aim to reduce the curvature by roughly 50%. So the cost
involved would be $4,800 per degree of correction, and the
correction achieved has been shown to be temporary.
Curves will continue to worsen after
surgery, by about one degree per year.
Typical Chiropractic
Care for scoliosis: In one study, participants averaged
1.4 degrees of correction after one year of "standard" chiropractic
care. If one year of non-intensive chiropractic care is
roughly $10,000, then this works out to about
$10,000 per degree of correction...
not to mention the time investment!
Scoliosis Bracing:
This is a trick question - bracing will never reduce
the severity of scoliosis, and whether or not it
even stops progression is heavily debated amongst orthopedic
surgeons. But for our purposes, the value of bracing cannot
be determined, because it is impossible to divide any cost
by zero.
At the Scoliosis
Correction Center, costs can range from approximately
$3,000 per week to comprehensive care for the year at approximately
$11,900. Assuming the patient achieves results exactly equal
to our average amount of correction, 62% of their scoliosis
would be corrected after treatment (from 50 degrees down
to 19). Value: $384 per degree
of correction, 9.75% of the price per degree
of correction when compared to surgery.
Bottom Line:
Our method of scoliosis correction is both non-invasive
and significantly less expensive than traditional treatments.
A Recent Email To Us:
Hi, I am doing a project on scoliosis for school, and not
to long ago my cousin had surgery to correct her scoliosis
and she became paralyzed from the waist down. And i was
just wondering if you know of anything that can lessen the
chance of becoming paralyzed during surgery? Thanks!

The success
of our
scoliosis treatment, warrants a serious investigation
prior to allowing any invasive procedure to be performed
on yourself or a loved one.
