Scoliosis in Kids
Scoliosis Care in Victoria Helps Kids Thrive
Scoliosis is a progressive abnormal sideways/lateral curve of the spine that looks like an “S” or “C” from behind. Although the exact cause isn’t fully understood, scoliosis often runs in families and usually affects children during growth spurts before and during puberty.
Identifying Scoliosis Early is Crucial
One of our top priorities is detecting this condition in its earliest stages through focused assessments and postural screenings. Early intervention gives us the best chance to:
- Carefully monitor the condition and track any progression
- Initiate specialized exercises and therapies to stabilize the spine
- In some cases, prescribe corrective orthotics or custom bracing to improve global alignment
With our extensive training and state-of-the-art treatment protocols, our team may be able to avoid or delay the need for surgery.
