Did you know that children with scoliosis can participate in the same sports and activities as other children? People who have curves that do not require surgery are able to participate in the same activities and sports as people without scoliosis. There are rarely restrictions on any of their activities. The same usually applies to people who have had surgery for scoliosis. They can usually do the same sports and jobs as before surgery. They should, however, contact their doctors before starting new activities to make sure they have no specific restrictions. Most patients return to non-contact sporting activities (running, weightlifting, exercises) approximately 4 to 6 months after surgery and it typically takes 6 to 12 months after surgery to obtain a solid fusion of the spine and get back to all activities.
