Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Treatment: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is a form of curvature of the spine treated in a child between 10 and 18 years through observation, regular check-ups, monitoring of mild forms, and moderate curves with braces to prevent further progression. There is physical therapy for postural improvements and muscle strengthening. Many severe cases require spinal fusion surgery for the treatment of the curvature. The main goals are to prevent further curvatures, maintain a functioning spine, and improve quality of life.
