Surgery
*As a charitable fund with an extended reach of international contacts, we have been able to determine multiple reasons at various ages for surgeries due to Scheuermann's Disease. It was thought at first that corrective surgeries were limited to patients only with severe deformities, typically in or near adolescence. We know now that this is only a portion of the surgeries performed each year for patients with Scheuermann's Disease. We are finding that a large number of adults (ages 35-55), many of whom were either never diagnosed or diagnosed too late in life for non-invasive treatments to be effective, are having surgeries due to the ancillary effects of the disease. Adults with accentuated curvatures, but less than previously thought to be negatively impactful on the spine, are many times having significant spinal problems. The secondary spinal issues include the early onset of degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spinal osteoarthritis, bone spurs, compression fractures, spinal cord compression, as well as eating and breathing problems.
