Well over 500,000 kids are diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis each year and the same sense of fear, panic, and uncertainty runs straight through the minds of each and every one of their parents minds shortly thereafter.  This is partly due to the mysterious nature of the condition, but also the highly invasive and socially awkward manner scoliosis treatment as developed over the years.  Spinal brace treatment’s effectiveness is highly questionable at best, and every parent can remember at least one young girl in high school whom suffered through high school wearing a scoliosis brace.  The really unlucky kids developed very a severe scoliosis spine and wound up having scoliosis surgery, with may have seemed successful at the time, but are more than likely feeling  the negative long-term complications associated with radical multiple level spinal fusion now. 

 

As with most things in life,  often the first moves and decisions made during the early stages of any serious situation can set the tone and pave the way for future scoliosis treatment success; so I have created a short list of the things parents should consider during the early stages of scoliosis treatment that will reduce the risk of further curve progression, provide their child with the best opportunity to reverse the scoliosis spine if possible, and provide them with the “peace of mind” that they are doing absolutely everything possible to help their child be successful in scoliosis  treatment.

 

  • Early stage scoliosis intervention™ is the only pro-active scoliosis treatment option that allows scoliosis patients to engage in an active rehabilitation program the targets the re-training of the brains automatic postural control centers.

 

  • Scoliscore™ genetic testing can determine your child’s genetic pre-disposition for severe curve progression.  This test provides invaluable information that will aide and assists in virtually every scoliosis treatment decision parents make over the course of the next 2-4 years. 
  • Chose a scoliosis treatment philosophy and stick with it.  A wise man once said, “The only ones who get hurt on roller coasters are the ones who jump off before the ride stops”.  Idiopathic scoliosis is a chronic progressive condition and there will be good and bad days while the patient is undergoing any given scoliosis treatment program.  “Jumping ship” too early is an all too common after a single negative re-evaluation report.

  • Avoid scoliosis treatment burn-out.  Unlike many childhood conditions that come and go, scoliosis is here to stay for the duration of their adolescents.  It is imperative that both the parent and the patient view scoliosis treatment as an ongoing process for at least the next 2-4 years and perhaps longer if the patient experiences severe scoliosis spine progression.
  • Being “Mom and Dad” is still job #1.  While it is extremely important that the adolescent patient is compliant with the scoliosis treatment and encouraged to maintain a positive attitude throughout the duration of treatment, many parents begin to assume the role of “project manager” and negate the vital role of supportive and guiding parent their child needs them to be.  The scoliosis specialist treating your child is most likely very experienced and able to provide sound, objective, and non-emotional counsel that will most effectively guide a patient to successful scoliosis treatment.
