Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 16 yr. old son has a lower back curve & hip problem function. doctors her say he will have to have a medal rod placed in his back to straighten this out. He has played rep hockey since 4. big healthy lad 6-3 @ 223lbs.Is there another way around this by special exerciing over time?
It seems that your son has scoliosis, but we need MRI scan to guide you properly. If there is scoliosis then definitely it should be corrected else he has to face the back pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
