Statistics number one: Approximately 29,000 spinal fusions are performed on adolescents in the United States alone each year. This translates to roughly 80 surgeries daily. Given the cost and life-altering nature of spinal fusion, this number is quite high.

Statistics number two: The average hospital stay cost for a child with scoliosis is $92,000, exceeding $100,000 in many cases. This cost doesn't even cover surgery or complications, which can range from $150,000 to $250,000 for complex cases, significantly higher than the national average for child hospital stays at $17,000.

Statistics number three: Adults with scoliosis experience double the national average hospital stay cost. While the average three-day stay in the U.S. costs around $30,000, for scoliosis patients, it can be as high as $60,000. Scoliosis contributes to approximately 1.2% of all annual hospital charges.

Statistics number four: Emergency room visits for scoliosis treatment are more common than many realize. Each year, approximately 17,500 children with scoliosis visit emergency rooms in the United States, while adults with scoliosis make around 74,000 ER visits. This adds up to over 90,000 ER visits by scoliosis patients annually.

Statistics number five: The annual non-surgical costs associated with scoliosis for adult patients can be around $14,000. This figure doesn't account for lost wages or time away from work.

Statistics number six: A staggering 90% of scoliosis patients wish they had more time to discuss their emotions and concerns with healthcare providers. Scoliosis affects patients not only physically but emotionally as well. Unfortunately, only 5% of patients feel they have had sufficient time to address their emotional needs with professionals.

Statistics number seven: Scoliosis patients are 40% more likely to experience suicidal thoughts. The emotional impact of scoliosis is often underestimated, especially in young patients striving to fit in. Scoliosis can affect posture, body image, balance, coordination, and gait, leading to restrictions in activities and severe pain in adult patients.

Statistics number eight: A whopping 73% of people with scoliosis report experiencing back pain, compared to only 20% of those without scoliosis. Back pain is more common in adults with scoliosis, becoming compressive once growth stops, gradually progressing due to gravity over time.

Statistics number nine: Scoliosis patients are twice as likely to suffer from chronic pain. About 23% of scoliosis patients describe their pain as horrible, excruciating, or distressing, compared to just 1.4% of those without scoliosis. Estimates suggest that nearly 7 million people live with scoliosis in the United States, emphasizing the need for proactive, conservative treatment addressing the underlying cause, which is scoliosis itself.
