Conservative Scoliosis Treatment: Integration of Biomechanics and Psychology
Abstract
The patient is a 5-year-old, Risser 0 female diagnosed with thoracic scoliosis with a 46-degree magnitude, T8 apex, and psychiatric challenges. The scoliosis curve has been progressive and was approaching surgical magnitude, while statistically likely to continue to progress and require a surgical correction. She was treated by a multidisciplinary team that leveraged behavioral health principles to accomplish correction that outpaced expectations.
