It is rare for parents to notice their own children's scoliosis because its development is so gradual. Often parents will recall noticing uneven hems or crooked shoulders after the diagnosis has been made. But most often these problems are the result of poor posture among teenage children. Treatment Treatment usually begins with physical therapy. Sometimes a spinal brace is recommended.
Surgery is only necessary in the most serious cases.
