scoliosis Surgery. Jamie Nicole Vanourny. This is a true story abouta 13 year old girl who went through scoliosis surgery in May 1991.
http://www.vh.org/pediatric/patient/orthopaedics/scoliosissurgery/

Extractions: After the MRI was finished, my parents and I went back to the orthopaedic clinic to set a date for the surgery. This was a very difficult moment for us. It made the surgery seem so real and so near. Joyce, the secretary, helped us set a date. I take dance. It is a very important part of life. The recital was mid May and I couldn't miss it. It was too important to me. We scheduled the surgery for May 30, 1991. It was after my dance recital. Whew! Doctors The next few months were uneventful as far as doctor's appointments. My next greatest hurdle was telling all my family and friends my news. At first I didn't want anyone to know about my back. I didn't want them to know what was happening toy body. But after I told my closest friends, it got easier. Eventually, I told all my friends, well most of them anyway!
POWER ASSISTED MICRO-
Osteopathic clinic uses PAM, (POWER ASSISTED MICROMANIPULATION) as a solution to mechanical back problems. Based at Putney London SW15 and Worcester Park Surrey. Reduces the curves of idiopathic scoliosis, suitable for the treatment of whiplash, prolapsed discs.
http://www.backpaincentre.com

Extractions: (previously known as Power Assisted Micro-manipulation (PAM) Bionic Micro-Manipulation is a completely new solution to the problem of back pain. This tool gives the therapist "bionic fingers" making it more powerful and efficient than traditional manual techniques. It uses state-of-the-art technology, and innovative engineering. In the hands of a skilled operator, this unit helps to restore the mechanical efficiency and stability of the spine, giving rapid and long-lasting results. It is a major and cost-effective breakthrough in the treatment of mechanical back pain. The research carried out by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research in the US ACHPR Report on Acute Low Back Pain has shown that traditional treatments merely act to control the underlying symptoms. Bionic Micro-Manipulation gets to the cause of the problem by removing stresses within the spine and restoring supple elasticity. The BackCare Clinic was the first osteopathic clinic in the world to use this new technology since July 1997. The clinic and our patients have been featured on BBC Radio, the Wellbeing TV channel, GMTV in Woman's Own, Positive Health, The Daily Express Osteopathy Today and The Osteopath magazines. It is a breakthrough in the treatment of mechanical back pain.
