Dr. Jean A. Ouellet, MD, Modern Luque Trolley Surgery for Early Onset Scoliosis

Here's a terrific interview and presentation from Dr. Jean Ouellet on a new surgical method for treating Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS).

We discussed current treatment options for EOS and how challenging this demographic is to treat. We look at both a Canadian and European study that looks at outcomes of this surgery in comparison with current techniques like Shilla.

Once again, I learned a ton about EOS and I'm passing on my education to all members. Thanks to Dr. Jean Ouellet for sharing a topic that is very much passionate about.

How to NAVIGATE SCOLIOSIS.

I gave this interview (my first long format interview) to PT, Andrea Lebel through her Scoliosis and Spine Online Learning (SSOL) platform. I wanted to publish the interview during Scoliosis Awareness Month.

I was very honest sharing how I navigated scoliosis for my son from his shocking diagnosis, to struggling with poor access to local health care, poor bracing options, discovering PSSE (Schroth), chiropractic and eventual VBT surgery.

I talk about my failures and success. I've met some amazing people along the way, including health care practitioners, patients and families affected by scoliosis. I talk about what motivated me to create the Scoliosis Spine Surgeons Interviews YouTube channel and the next logical step which evolved into this Facebook group.

My presentation is a tight 27 minutes with a 30 minute Q&A. The Q&A is pretty free flowing and I share some scoliosis nuggets there too. Check it out when you get a chance! 🙂

Here are some of the interview highlights: 🙂
2:06 How I navigated scoliosis treatment for my son.
3:27 Scoliosis Diagnosis - Shock & Guilt.
6:17 Frustration leads to action.
14:15 Desperate to avoid surgery.
16:29 Birth of my YouTube Scoliosis Spine Surgeon Interviews.
21:02 When to choose fusion and non-fusion surgical options.
23:26 Navigating Scoliosis Tips.

Whisper Brace Demo.

Jamie dropped by my Toronto clinic about a month ago and gave me a hands on demo of the Whisper. In return, I introduced Jamie to Toronto's legendary gridlocked traffic. ⛔😂

It's a quick 6:46 minute demo that gets to the point.
