Scoliosis refers to an abnormal curve in the spine and can be diagnosed during a physical examination. There are several types of scoliosis based on the cause and age when the curve develops. If you have scoliosis or recently found out you have scoliosis, it is important to start treatment right away to prevent your curve from worsening over time.

There are not many options for scoliosis treatment, especially if you have a larger curve. Scoliosis can come with back pain in which it’s much harder to maintain proper posture.

If your child has scoliosis and is still in the process of growing, back braces are highly recommended to prevent future surgery. If you don’t treat scoliosis and your child is continuously growing their curve can increase to a certain degree in which surgery is then recommended and needed. Back braces are usually worn for a certain amount of time each day, however, all day might be necessary if the curve is large enough. The back brace is no longer needed when your child has fully stopped growing.
