[|Human|] I would like to speak with a spine specialist, or orthopedic Dr. Unless you can help. I have been diagnosed with Adult Scoliosis, and suggests Spinal Fusion, I want to decline the surgery, but they don t suggest it. I believe the decision is mine...what do you think?
[|AI|]  Thank you for the question. Scoliosis has to be either primary, since childhood structural deformity or secondary in adults due to undergoing pathologies in spine. Scoliosis Braces are worn if there is flexible curvature depending on number of curve, if one then good support is provided. Your spine surgeon must have evaluated all these and probably due to fixity (non-flexibility) may advise surgery for instrumentation along the spine to keep it straight. You look for spinal braces and support for few days till you want to wait for surgery, a physical evaluation is necessary before brace is indicated, so consult a spinal surgeon for second opinion
