Scoliosis Treatment Can Be Divided Into the Following Categories:

Conservative Treatment

  • Observation (“wait and see”)
  • Specialized physiotherapeutic rehabilitation (PSSR/PSSE)
  • Bracing

At ScolioFys, we focus on conservative treatment, primarily through Pattern Specific Scoliosis Rehabilitation through changed habits, specific exercise and targeted manual therapy.

Surgical Treatment

  • Spinal fusion surgery
  • VBT (Vertebral Body Tethering) surgery during growth
  • Other non-fusion techniques

Although we do not perform surgery, at ScolioFys we continue to support conservative care both before and after surgical intervention, with tailored physiotherapy and manual techniques.

Goals of Treatment

For Children and Adolescents:

  • Stop curve progression
  • Reduce the spinal curve if possible
  • Decrease rotation (ATR – Angle of Trunk Rotation)
  • Improve posture and alignment
  • Promote a positive body image
  • Prevent the need for bracing
  • Prevent the need for spinal fusion surgery

For Adults:

  • Prevent curve progression (especially during menopause)
  • Reduce rotation (ATR)
  • Reduce or eliminate back pain
  • Maintain or improve spinal mobility
  • Improve posture
  • Maintain or regain functional ability
  • Increase lung capacity
  • Prevent the need for spinal fusion surgery

For Post-Surgical Patients:

  • Reduce or eliminate back pain
  • Reduce residual rotation
  • Prevent progression or development of compensatory curves
  • Improve posture
  • Increase lung capacity (particularly in thoracic curves)
  • Maintain or regain function
  • Receive guidance on exercise and safe movement
  • Learn to understand and adapt to the “new back”
  • Build confidence in physical activity and body use
