- Scoliosis treatment varies based on factors like age, severity, and symptoms. Here are common approaches:
- 1. Observation: For mild curves, regular monitoring suffices. X-rays track progression.
- 2. Bracing: In growing children, custom braces can prevent worsening. They're worn for several hours daily.
- 3. Physical Therapy: Strengthening exercises improve posture and muscle balance.
- 4. Pain Management: Pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or physical therapy address discomfort.
- 5. Surgery: Reserved for severe cases or when curves progress. Procedures include spinal fusion or rod placement.
