Cure for scoliosis in an 8yr old suffering from the daily pain and discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scoliosis treatment: There is treatment for scoliosis, but not a "cure". First , make sure that diagnosis is correct and that doctor is sure the scoliosis is indeed the cause of your child's pain. First treatment is routine and consistent physical therapy to improve range of motion and decrease pain. If the scoliosis is so bad that this is not helping, bracing and/or surgery need to be discussed, but she young yet!
