Pediatric scoliosis is a disorder in which a child’s spine curves abnormally. Dr. Michael recognizes the unique problems of treating scoliosis in young patients and provides individualized therapy based on each child’s specific needs. Dr. Michael attempts to give the finest quality therapy possible for every child, drawing on years of experience and a compassionate approach.
Pediatric scoliosis can occur during childhood or adolescence and is most noticeable during periods of rapid growth. It can range in severity, with some cases producing minor pain and others potentially leading to more significant problems if left untreated. Early detection and intervention are critical to properly managing pediatric scoliosis and preventing future advancement of the illness.
Dr. Michael provides an integrated approach to pediatric scoliosis therapy, concentrating on both conservative and surgical alternatives based on each patient’s particular needs. Treatment options could include:
In the event of mild scoliosis, regular monitoring may be suggested to track the curvature's evolution and evaluate whether treatment is required.
Physical therapy activities can help to strengthen the muscles around the spine and improve posture, lowering the chance of progression.
For moderate scoliosis, a brace may be prescribed to help prevent further spinal curvature during growth periods.
In extreme cases of scoliosis or when conservative treatments fail, surgery may be advised to straighten the curvature of the spine and stabilize it.
