Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. The most common type – idiopathic scoliosis – affects approximately 2-3% of the population and is most common in adolescents. Given the high prevalence of this condition, we recommend that all children be screened for scoliosis beginning at age 10, so that appropriate treatment, if needed, can be undertaken early. Allopathic treatment of scoliosis may include surgical procedures such as Harrington rods and spinal fusion, as well as rigid braces such as the Boston and Milwaukee braces. Triad Health Center offers comprehensive scoliosis care options, including serving as the only Sacramento area provider for the revolutionary SpineCor brace - the first and only truly dynamic soft brace. Developed by orthopedic surgeons in 1992 as a brace for mild to moderate curves in adolescents, it has outperformed hard shell braces in recent studies (J Pediatr Orthop 2007; 27:375-379). Currently, it is under investigation for potential use in more severe curves, as well as a pain-relief option for adults with scoliosis.
