Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi, I have a 12 year old daughter that has scoliosis with a 40% degree curvature, I would like to know if tethered spinal cord syndrome can cause scoliosis and what are the treatments available. Thank you Nicolas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Nicolas, Where are you located?? That way people from your area can tell you who is the best for that area. I am in Chicago, and I know Dr. Sarwark is suppose to be one of the best. He is at Children's Memorial. has scoliosis too, she is curved at about 35 degrees. Her ortho is not worried about it. We have a second opinion with Dr. Sarwar coming up. Good luck!! Tommi --- Nicolas wrote: > My daughter has scoliosis (43 degrees) and the > doctor suspected of > tethered spinal cord syndrome.
