Adult Scoliosis, Six Months After Surgery

Well first of all, I’m so happy that I found Dr. Melamed. I had scoliosis, mostly in my lumbar spine, and I had a trunk shift, so my whole day was very exhausting and painful since I’m like 13 years old, when I found out that I had scoliosis. I’m now almost 40 and I had my child and right after I gave birth I started to experience even more back pain and I would constantly be googling surgeons. When I was at work, I’m googling surgeons, I’m like, I have to see a surgeon and see, you know, how to fix this. And there was Dr. Melamed, probably one of the best, most reviews that I saw in California. And I said, I’m going to book an appointment with him and I met him and he was wonderful and really took the time with me.

I had a 53 degree curve and most surgeons that I did speak with kind of brushed me off and laugh me off and they would not do surgery on me but Dr. Melamed was like for sure I can do surgery on you, I can help you and I can really alleviate most of your pain. I am six months post-op and I am so happy I could cry. I’m just really getting my life back and I feel so good. Even after six months of surgery, I’m doing my physical therapy and I’m straight and I can do all my chores and live my life without the pain that I was having.

So he’s the best and I recommend him to everybody. Anybody having neck pain, back pain, scoliosis, especially scoliosis, just because I’m a scoliosis case, but he’s a special guy and I’m thankful. Thank you very much. And no narcotics were used? No, just the narcotics in the hospital and very little, I don’t know, tramadol.

You followed the holistic protocol? I did, I followed the holistic protocol. I took all my vitamins. I listened to Dr. Melamed and did the best I could and I’m feeling wonderful.

Thank you very much.
