Episode 57: Living Boldly: Life After Spinal Fusion With Denise Barker

What does life look like after spinal fusion surgery?  

It’s different for everyone, but it’s not limited to minimal activity and careers outside the public eye. Denise Barker is proof of that, having built a career as a sommelier and wine educator following several spinal fusion surgeries.

In this episode, Denise and I talk about several aspects of spinal fusion:

• Side effects of spinal fusion surgery
• The recovery process
• Movement and activity with a spinal fusion
• How to support parents who have kids with scoliosis
• Overcoming common spinal fusion myths and misconceptions
