Lately I have had multiple inquiries regarding what treatment options are available for management and or correction of scoliosis. I have gathered some information here to help answer such questions in an easy and understandable way.
The basic objectives of comprehensive conservative treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis are:
1. To stop curve progression at puberty (or possibly even reduce it),
2. To prevent or treat respiratory dysfunction,
3. To prevent or treat spinal pain syndromes,
4. To improve aesthetics via postural correction
1. To stop curve progression at puberty (or possibly even reduce it)
It is believed that it is impossible to fully eradicate idiopathic scoliosis with conservative treatment techniques available at present. It is possible and usually sufficient to prevent further progression, even if recent research papers conducted have shown that it is also possible to obtain some amount of curve correction.
