Ahead of the Curve, The Scoliosis Experience

Episode 128: 5 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Getting A Spinal Fusion


Listen Later

Spinal fusion isn’t just a medical decision. It’s a life decision.

In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m sharing the five questions I believe every person should ask before saying yes to spinal fusion. These questions will help you understand not just your X-rays, but your quality of life, your goals, and your mindset. 

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How to assess your current quality of life beyond your Cobb angle

• Why exhausting conservative options matters before surgery

• What spinal fusion can and can’t realistically improve

• How mindset and support networks shape recovery outcomes

Whether you’re personally considering fusion or supporting someone who is, this episode helps you slow down, learn the facts, and make a decision that feels informed and grounded.
