Will not work: Ultrasound will not work to restore your curve lost after spinal surgery. The only way to restore pathologic curves after surgery is spinal fusion.

Lumbar curve: I am not clear what ultrasound can accomplish. If contour needs to be changed i usually will borrow fat from one area of the body and graft it to another. This done in butt lift surgery, breast enhancement, breast reconstruction , facial and hand rejuvenation.

Not aware : I am not aware of any ultrasound modality providing improvements for this condition. Perhaps a supervised physical therapy regimen would help?
