General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

* As there is already 3 months post scoliosis surgery, the issue must be at vertebral alignment level giving angular deviation from the axis of center.

Usually, physiotherapy does not relieve such gross abnormality, and the operative intervention must be discussed with your treating surgeon after a recent MRI evaluation of the cervical region spine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
