Overview of conservative (non-surgical) and surgical treatment options for scoliosis

We offer a variety of treatment options for scoliosis, including both conservative (non-surgical) and surgical approaches. Our goal is to determine the best possible treatment strategy for each patient individually, taking into account the severity of the scoliosis, the patient's age, their growth status and other individual factors.

 

Conservative treatment options:

 

1. Physiotherapy: Physical rehabilitation and specially designed exercises can help improve spinal stability, correct muscle imbalances and correct curvature

 

2. Corset therapy: In some cases, the use of a scoliosis corset may be recommended, especially in adolescents who have not yet completed their growth. The corset is individually fitted and worn 23 hours a day to ensure the . To guide the growing spine in its direction of growth.

 

 

Surgical treatment options:

 

1. Scoliosis correction surgery: Severe or progressive cases of scoliosis may require corrective surgery. Using modern surgical techniques we can reduce the curvature of the spine and restore balance. We use special instruments such as titanium implants to stabilize and correct the spine.

 

2. Minimally invasive procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive techniques can be used to correct the spine. These techniques require smaller incisions and result in faster recovery and less postoperative pain.
