Check for Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw in Birmingham, AL.  He did a discectomy on me in 1991 and I haven't had any problems since.  Although his name sounds foreign, his parents were from Western Europe, he is very much a regular guy.  He's a graduate of John Hopkins, and very highly regarded in his field.

sciatica is serious business, it can change your life. Your sciatic nerve is the main trunk of your spine.. quite litteraly  the core of your central nervous system.. Sciatica can drop you to your knees and there isn't much they can to.. Thanks to prescription junkies its hard to get pain killers. A good chiropractor helps but the best thing you could do is find a QXCI operator in your area, they can help with pain.I make a living in bioresonance and at one time I was a skeptic. One treatment on a QXCI and I was pain free for a month. I was so impressed that I bought one and went into the business to help others. PM me with your local info (city/state) and I'll find some one near you.

The best idea you cold explore would to have a look at MacMaster Hospital or Henderson in Hamliton. I know it is a long way but they are fantastic hospitals that are closer than travelling to Toronto. You might also want to see if there is an information website about Scoliosis. Also try Telehealth Ontario or contact the Ministry of Health if your doctor cannot provide you with a proper health facility to accomodate your needs. Hope I was helpful

Go to an osteopathic physician (one that specializes in Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy). They should be able to take care of the problem.\n\nPlus, if your pain is caused by a disease or problem elsewhere in your body, an osteopath would be able to identify it, whereas a chiropractor lacks the additional medical knowledge (plus they can't write prescriptions if necessary).

Years ago, one of the world's leading spine surgeons made this statement at a large medical conference in Las Vegas, Nevada:\n\n"Your first back surgery is your best chance, your second back surgery is your last chance."\n\nYou are done with surgery.  It hasn't solved your problem  (in fact, it may be the cause of your continuing problems).\n\nCouple of suggestions.  First, how many Chiropractic evaluations/consults have you had?  A good Chiropractor may be a very valuable resource for you.\n\nSecond, there is a wonderful book available that explains the many unappreciated causes of chronic pain and how to effectively treat the causes to relieve the pain.  If you read this book, you will understand the many ways that surgery and even pain medications can actually aggravate and cause long-term chronic pain.  \n\nThe book is written by Sherry Rogers, M.D. and is called: "Pain Free in 6 Weeks".  It is available at Amazon.com or from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.  I highly recommend this book.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

That is total bull.  Visit your primary care physician and have a thorough evaluation done, if he/she just gives you meds and you want more than that then ask for a referral to see a physiatrist if you have chronic symptoms. A referral to a physical therapist may also be an excellent option for you based upon the physician's findings.  Also, tell your physician which chiropractor you visited and what they told you was wrong, that way the physician is aware of this quack. \n\nI will say this, if you decide to see a therapist, do not be afraid to call around and ask to speak to the therapist to see if they indeed specialize in spinal care. Some do and some don't, it is a much wider field than most realize. Most physical therapists that do specialize in spinal care are highly educated in the dynamics of the spine and also do perform manipulation of your joints when warranted but they also have many other options for advanced treatment. \n\nNone the less, I do not recommend corporate facilities such as HealthSouth, NovaCare or Banyan Tree as most of these facilities do not allow the therapist to have control over thier own schedules and you may not be able to see the same therapist from visit to visit, which in my opinion is poor medical care care driven by corporate interest. \n\nChiropractic care, if you can call it that, what a sham! There may be a few good chiros out there who want to do a good job and may actually practice ethically but the profession is litered with so many quacks like the one you visited that finding a good chiro is about as likely as winning the lottery or being struck by lightening.\n\nWhat the general population doesn't seem to realize anymore is that chiropractors are traditionally not trained in modern medicine nor are they a branch of modern medicine. They do NOT go to medical school. Chiropractors are trained in chiropractic which is an unfounded, unscientific model of quasihealthcare usually taught in colleges that only teach chiropractic. There is not a single chiropractic school in the states that is found in a university system. They are usually seperate entities from all other schools because they teach their own form of science and health which is NOT recognised in the mainstream. They are NOT another type of medical doctor that just decided to go into chiropractic care versus say, orthopedics or neurology. \n\nIf you want to know the truth behind chiropractic care and chiropractors, then check out the following links. Really check out these sites too as many of the articles are written by chiropractors that have renounced their own profession.\n\nhttp://www.ncahf.org/pp/chirop.html...\nhttp://www.quackwatch.org/01quackeryrela...\nhttp://www.chirobase.org/01general/chiro...\nhttp://www.acsh.org/healthissues/newsid....\nhttp://www.chirobase.org/01general/skept...\nhttp://www.quackwatch.org/01quackeryrela...\nhttp://www.chirobase.org/06dd/chirovet.h...\n\nAlso, chiropractors state that research has justified their techniques, check out the following;\n\nDuring the past few years, two reports about the treatment of low-back pain have placed chiropractic in a favorable light. One, issued by the RAND Corporation, concluded that spinal manipulation was appropriate for some cases of low-back pain. The other, produced by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), judged manipulation useful for controlling symptoms while awaiting the spontaneous recovery that occurs within a month in most patients with low-back problems.\nAlthough chiropractors have promoted these reports as endorsements of chiropractic, they are not. They merely support the use of manipulation in carefully selected patients. Only a few of the research studies on which their conclusions were based involved manipulation by chiropractors; most were done by medical doctors and physical therapists whose practices are not identical to those of chiropractors. Most chiropractors manipulate the vast majority of patients

Usually they recommend surgery at 40+ degrees.\n\nIn 2003 I had a 12 level spinal fusion for my "S" curve of 56deg thorasic (upper) and 68deg lumbar (lower) scoliosis. Like you, I also had rapidly progressing scoliosis - a stable "S" curve of 40 & 40 for years and then in less than 6 months later it was at 56 & 68.\n\nI would recommend visiting several spinal surgeons (if they specialize in scoliosis its even better) and talking to them about your back. They may or may not opt for surgery as they base the need to not just the spine, but on other things as well.\n\nIf you are in the California area I know many top scoliosis surgeons who's contact info I can give you. I also have family members that work for a spinal & neurological surgical instrumentation supply company that I can get info from as well.\n\nBest of luck!

A good reputable OB/GYN in Fort Worth, Texas is Dr. David Holmes. He is very thorough and has a good stirrup-side manner. He delivered my firstborn.

I recommend shriners hospitals for crippled children. They are good, and free. They have helped me in the past.\n\n I believe there is one in tampa.\n\nYes she needs evaluated but you dont know what it is yet. a problem with the growthplate, hip dysplasia, who knows. \n\n\nI dont see why you need a good lawyer unless the doctor did something to cause this problem or make it worse

Word of mouth is the best way to find a doc. Ask friends and family if they have heard of any good surgeons there.

Two of my patients have got spinal surgery in India.One was treeated for spondylolistheis by spinal fusion and the other for disc protrusion by microdiscectomy.Both of them are very happy with the results.Their pain and other symptoms due to nerve compression have totally gone.\n\nSpinal Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges spine surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as spine surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.\n\nThe cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your spine surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.both my patients had gone to India through the forerunners healthcare company.The spinal fusion patient stayed in INdia for about 20 minutes and the microdiscectomy patient for about a week.hope this helps
