Excited to share our latest open-access study in Pain and Therapy: “Synergistic Effects of Basivertebral Nerve Ablation Plus Schroth Therapy for Adult Scoliosis: A Multicenter Propensity-Matched Cohort Study.” link.springer.com/article/10.100…

One of the most common questions patients ask after any pain procedure is: “How soon should I expect pain relief?” 🔷 Poll #1 —In patients undergoing basivertebral nerve ablation, when do most patients first achieve ≥50% pain relief? Real-world prospective data. Vote before I post results. #BVNA #Spine #PainMedicine
