Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown.
Physical therapy can be used to treat all stages of scoliosis and all ages of patients. It is beneficial as complementary care or to help rehab the spine and surrounding muscles after surgery. The best plan of care, including frequency and duration of therapy sessions, is developed based on your individual evaluation.
