Welcome there! Pediatric specialists treat scoliosis in children and adolescents in ways that are multifaceted, as they appreciate the fact that every case is different and thus requires individualized care. The primary objectives will be curve protection, minimization of pain, and maximization of quality of life, all in respect of growth potential for the child. Treatment strategies range from supervision and bracing to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the curve, the age of the child, and the risk of further progression. Non-invasive therapies such as observation or physical exercise would generally be used for mild curves, whereas bracing is a very common form of intervention for moderate curves in the growing child to stop or slow down curvature. During this whole process, the Pediatric Scoliosis Specialist Florida will follow the condition of the child, teach parents on the treatment plan, and support them all along the way.
