These can include surgical and nonsurgical options to correct a curve or keep a curve from getting worse. We are concerned about small curves in children because they can progress quickly during growth. When children have a larger curve and still have a lot of growth left, there is a good chance that the curve will get much bigger. The goal of treatment for your child is to reach the end of their growth with a curve of less than 50 degrees.

Curves less than 50 degrees at the end of growth do not usually require surgery or keep getting bigger. The 3 most common treatment options that our scoliosis specialists recommend are observation, bracing and surgery.

Observation usually involves an exam and X-ray of the spine every 6 months. If your child is growing rapidly or the curve is getting worse, they may need an exam and X-ray more often. Scoliosis is more likely to progress during periods of rapid growth, like just before puberty. Once your child has stopped growing, we will monitor them less often.

A brace is a common treatment for children with curves between 25 and 45 degrees who are still growing. Bracing is not used for children who have finished growing.

If your child begins treatment with a brace, they may wear it until they finish growing or the curve gets so large that they need surgery. With this therapy, fitting the brace correctly is important. We have extensive experience in making braces to fit children of all sizes and ages. Read about braces and our other orthotics and prosthetics services.
