Most surgeons do this operation from the front of your body, so the incision is in your belly, not your back. The surgery usually requires being in the hospital for 5 to 7 days. Activity is gradually increased over the following few months. Complete healing can take up to 2 years. Most people are able to regain full function after this surgery.
Many states provide free screening for scoliosis in the public schools.
