Scoliosis Scoliosis S coliosis is a complicated deformity that is characterized by both lateral curvature and vertebral rotation. However, over the past 40 years, great strides have been made in the management of scoliosis.
Early detection is important.
Most curves can be treated non-operatively if detected before they become too severe. To this end, scoliosis screening is being done in schools across America and in other countries. Exercises as a sole cure for scoliosis will never do. The best treatment is early detection and prompt referral to an orthopedic specialist. The latter is used more often because it is not visible when worn under clothing.
