It is important to note that choosing the best type of treatment for a patient depends on many factors, such as age, size of curve and type of scoliosis.
Different cases may require different approaches. A skilled scoliosis clinician will be able to help to diagnose and asses a patient properly before deciding on the best course of treatment. Observation One approach that can be used is the 'wait and see' approach. This is done when a scoliosis is detected in a young child, but the curve is not severe enough for physical therapy & rehabilitation, bracing or surgery. A skilled clinician will be able to assess if a curve needs to be monitored or treated. |
RehabilitationThere is growing research evidence in the effectiveness of specific scoliosis rehabilitation and exercise programs.
|
Bracing TreatmentA good 3D designed brace is very effective in correcting scoliosis or prevent progression and surgery.
|
SurgeryIf the scoliosis curve is too big, surgery may be the only option.
