1. Observation – More than 85% of scoliosis is mild hence they required only observation. Doctors are doing observation every 4 to 6 months with the help of X-rays up to the maturity of the skeleton. Doctors will monitor the children’s spine up to less than 20 degrees. If the after the maturity of children (above 16 years) doctor will find scoliosis range above 20 degrees then the child has required treatment like bracing or surgery.

1. Non-Surgical (Bracing) – Firstly we understand that bracing not straight the spine. It only controlled the abnormal/curved spine. If your child’s bones are still growing and scoliosis are in moderate condition (More than 20 degrees) then we can use the braces. It is fitted under the arms down towards the hip and it is required to wear at least 16 hours of the day. Generally beaches made by thermoplastics. The goal is to control the curve so he won’t need surgery.

1. Surgery – Surgery is the last option when we cannot be controlled the deformity (more than 40 degrees). Most of the Neurosurgeon suggests getting spinal fusion surgery for the treatment. In spinal fusion surgery, surgeons connect two or more of the bones in the spine together, so they can’t move independently. With the help of screws, Metal Rod’s pin, and hooks spine are connected together. In the surgical treatment the risk of infection, bleeding, pain, or nerve damage. If you have done surgery of your child then it will require up to 6 weeks to recover then your children back into normal life.
