Growth Rods

Growth rods are specialized medical devices used to treat scoliosis or abnormal spinal curvature in children. They are inserted into the spine and can be adjusted gradually as the child grows, helping to correct the curvature over time. The rods work by providing stability and guiding the spine's development, minimizing the need for more invasive surgery. Periodic adjustments are made in a clinic setting to lengthen the rods as the child grows, promoting proper spinal alignment while allowing continued growth. This approach helps manage deformities effectively while reducing the risk of long-term complications.
