Growing Spines Respond. The Window Matters.
Early, specialized care gives a child the best chance at halting curve progression.
A scoliosis diagnosis in a child or teenager raises urgent questions. Will the curve keep progressing? Is surgery inevitable? What can we do right now? For most families, the answer is that there is meaningful, non-surgical work to be done, and the earlier it begins, the more a growing spine can respond.
Dr. Moramarco is the founder of Scoliosis 3DC®, a clinic dedicated entirely to the non-surgical management of scoliosis. Care for children and adolescents centers on the Schroth Method, a technique developed specifically for the three dimensional nature of spinal curvature, addressing the vertebral rotation that conventional physical therapy often overlooks. When bracing is appropriate, patients are fitted with the custom 3DC Brace™, a 3D Chêneau style brace designed for in brace correction during the growth years.
Because adolescent spines are still growing and far more flexible than adult spines, children and teens can achieve degrees of correction that are simply not possible later on. The Scoliosis 3DC® team, which includes Schroth Method Certified Occupational Therapists, has built its entire practice around making the most of that window.
