ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Scoliosis is a deforming and crippling disease of the spine that afflicts people of all ages. Left untreated, it can lead to a lifetime of pain and disability. The Scoliosis Sourcebook is a complete guide to understanding this condition that emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, including braces and surgery.
USER REVIEWS
"While it doesn't have as many case studies/pictures/stories as Scoliosis: Ascending the curve, I find the information to be a lot more in depth.
It was recommended to me by a fellow scoliosis surgery veteran before I had my op (Posterior only, T2 to L1 Fusion nearly 2 years ago at the age of 20), and the information it gave me helped me to really be informed and therefore less scared of what I was facing.
I personally don't really care for Stopping Scoliosis (just bringing it up as the two are offered as a package). It's too fluffy and not real in-depth. Though I guess that book may be better suited to kids/teens or those who are likely to get scared by TOO much information."

"I have scoliosis and just recently had A/P spinal fusion at the age of 50. I searched everywhere and bought severals books before I chose a doctor and had the surgery. I found this book to be the best and most helpful. It is critical for patients to understand and expect what this surgery means."

"Michael Neuwirth has done an excellent job of covering just about everything patients and their caretakers need to know about scoliosis and its treatment. Although there were a few times where I noted Dr. Neuwirth's treatment is different than the treatment received in this part of the country, in general, his wisdom and advise is right on. I'm grateful for such a thorough text to which I can refer."
