Pediatric Scoliosis Treatment

Pediatric scoliosis treatment focuses on correcting or managing the curvature of the spine in children. Options vary based on the curve's severity and the child's growth stage. Mild curves may simply require regular monitoring, while moderate cases often involve wearing a back brace to prevent worsening. In severe cases, particularly if it affects lung function or posture, surgery may be recommended to correct the curvature. Treatment aims to support healthy development and maintain physical function, allowing children to lead active, normal lives as they grow.
