Scoliosis Treatment

The majority of patients seen at the Baylor Scoliosis Center do not require surgery to correct their condition. Many children do not even require bracing, while some need to wear a brace only at night. Other adolescent patients do require more extensive bracing, but modern braces are more lightweight and flexible than in years past. They are easily worn under clothing and still allow children to continue participating in normal activities.

For patients who are experiencing an increase in curvature and are in pain, surgery may help reestablish spinal alignment and alleviate the pain. While, many patients today mistakenly believe there is no treatment option available for their scoliosis or that, as an adult their condition cannot be treated, the Baylor Scoliosis Center, offers hope. The diagnosis and treatment of this condition have made great advances in recent years and the staff at the Baylor Scoliosis Center specializes specifically in advanced treatments to offer each patient the best surgical option for their situation.
