What Providers Aren't Telling Scoliosis Patients

Cold plunge. Sauna. And a message I care deeply about.

In this solo episode of Hot n Cold Ones, it’s just me—moving between the cold and the heat—talking about something that needs to change in healthcare:

👉 Every scoliosis patient deserves to be given all of their options.

Too often, patients are only presented with a limited path—usually observation or surgery—without ever hearing about research-backed conservative treatments that could help them take control of their condition.

In this episode, I dive into:

• Why conservative care (like scoliosis-specific exercise) is often overlooked

• The responsibility of providers to inform—not decide

• How assumptions about cost, compliance, or patient interest are limiting care

• What the research actually says about non-surgical options

• How giving patients ownership changes outcomes

This isn’t about replacing surgery when it’s needed—it’s about making sure patients and families are empowered with complete, honest information so they can make the best decision for themselves.

And of course… you’ll get the real experience of the cold plunge and sauna along the way.

👉 If you’re a provider, patient, or parent navigating scoliosis, this is a conversation you need to hear.
