Uncommon Scoliosis Results: Next Steps
Following our complimentary scoliosis screenings in schools, we have identified several instances of spinal curvature deviations from the norm among students. Paramount steps are being taken to offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and channel appropriate treatment plans to ensure optimal spinal health and growth.
Request for an Xray
An x-ray can confirm a scoliosis diagnosis and give us further insight into the severity and type of curve.
Refer for an Orthopedic Consult
If needed, a referral to an orthopedic specialist will provide expert guidance on the best course of action to manage and treat the condition.
Consider Bracing
Depending on the child's age and the curve's severity, a brace may be recommended to help slow the progression of scoliosis.
Plan Treatment using the Schroth Method
This is a specialized physical therapy approach specifically for individuals with scoliosis. It involves exercises designed to improve posture, muscular balance, and lung function.
