Scoliosis
Scoliosis refers to an abnormal curvature of the spine, most often affecting children during growth spurts. Treatments for scoliosis may include wearing a back brace and, if needed, spinal fusion or bone grafting. If it is not treated during childhood, effects can be seen through adulthood.

Scoliosis treatment
We know every patient is unique. Your orthopedic team will customize a scoliosis treatment plan to your specific needs. However, our goal is the same for all patients with scoliosis: We aim to reduce pain and discomfort while improving mobility and quality of life.
Ideally, doctors can use nonsurgical methods, such as a brace, to treat scoliosis. Surgery may be needed if the curve is severe.
Pediatric scoliosis surgery
We have a dedicated group of scoliosis specialists and surgeons committed to increasing your child's health and quality of life. Your child's orthopedic team will use minimally invasive tools whenever possible to deliver the best possible surgical outcomes.
Treatment for adult scoliosis
The adult scoliosis experts at our hospital offer a variety of nonsurgical options, including:
- Self-monitoring to ensure a spine curve isn't progressing
- Physical therapy
- Interventions, such as injections and blocks
If these options don't prevent your scoliosis from worsening, spine surgery may be needed. If so, your orthopedic doctor will further explain how surgery can restore and stabilize your spinal balance.
