THE book to have for scoliosis patients
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
While it doesn't have as many case studies/pictures/stories as Scoliosis: Ascending the curve, I find the information to be a lot more in depth. It was recommended to me by a fellow scoliosis surgery veteran before I had my op (Posterior only, T2 to L1 Fusion nearly 2 years ago at the age of 20), and the information it gave me helped me to really be informed and therefore less scared of what I was facing. I personally don't really care for Stopping Scoliosis (just bringing it up as the two are offered as a package). It's too fluffy and not real in-depth. Though I guess that book may be better suited to kids/teens or those who are likely to get scared by TOO much information.
The Scoliosis Sourcebook by Michael Neuwirth, M.D.

I have scoliosis and just recently had A/P spinal fusion at the age of 50. I searched everywhere and bought severals books before I chose a doctor and had the surgery. I found this book to be the best and most helpful. It is critical for patients to understand and expect what this surgery means.
A Great Reference for Anyone Researching Scoliosis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Michael Neuwirth has done an excellent job of covering just about everything patients and their caretakers need to know about scoliosis and its treatment. Although there were a few times where I noted Dr. Neuwirth's treatment is different than the treatment received in this part of the country, in general, his wisdom and advise is right on. I'm grateful for such a thorough text to which I can refer.
