Juvenile Scoliosis

Casting

Serial casting can be used to delay the need for bracing by correcting the deformity sufficiently to allow bracing to then be re-instituted. Since a cast can be considered a full-time brace which cannot be removed, many parents find it preferable to braces, eliminating the problems of compliance and the difficulties of donning braces in uncooperative young children.

The Scoliosis Research Society provides information on these web pages regarding research and links as a public service. The SRS believes that patients should contact their treating physician about the relevance of any information listed on the site prior to proceeding with any particular treatment. Just as no two individuals are exactly alike, no two patients with a spinal deformity are the same. Therefore, your spinal deformity surgeon will be the most important source of information about the management of your particular spinal problem.
