Can you play sports after scoliosis surgery? Yes, you can be athletic after spinal fusion. Playing Golf 13 days after scoliosis surgery.

I received an email from Alex today, who came up from Florida 2 weeks ago to have his scoliosis fixed.
He is back home in Florida, getting back into golf, and working hard with a trainer.
His email is below, along with some pictures from his time with us at Hey Clinic, and Duke Raleigh Hospital.
Using strong titanium alloy pedicle screw instrumentation, Alex can return to full golf as soon as he feels able. We have had other patients return to full competitive swimming, cheer leading, and basketball with excellent results.

Lookin’ good, Alex!

Dear Dr. Hey,
    My mom took some pictures of me putting in chipping in the putting green behind our house as well as at the golf course. They are attached. Also I began going to the gym for rehab and can almost touch my toes!
Thanks again for everything,
Alex
