The \u2018wait and see\u2019 approach to scoliosis is not a treatment option or healing strategy. Despite growing evidence and international guidelines (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) to support conservative treatment options for scoliosis, unfortunately some patients are still told to \u2018do nothing\u2019 unless the scoliosis progresses to the point of needing surgery.<\/p>\n

When there are options for patients, and timely treatment is so important (4, 5), patients must be given the option for conservative care where possible. Why should you not let them \u2018wait and see\u2019?<\/p>\n

Scoliosis Progression Risk is Highest During Growth Spurts<\/h4>\n

It is so important that patients (and their caregivers) are given the option to receive conservative treatment care (structured observation, scoliosis specific exercises and\/or bracing) while it can be most effective (2). This is particularly important in very young children with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS) and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Progression and increased structural and postural damage is highest often during the growth spurts. Don\u2019t let the patients miss out on their options!<\/p>\n

Patients Deserve to be Empowered with Choice\"\"<\/h4>\n

If there are treatment options available for patients, and there are, then the patients have the right to be informed of such choices. It\u2019s also not just the Cobb angle we are concerned with when treating these patients (6). Patients with scoliosis also have the right to decide if conservative treatment options are worth pursuing in order to help them with additional goals such as improving aesthetics (6).<\/p>\n

It can Often Lead to Surgery<\/h4>\n

This is a massive problem, particularly with the younger patients with JIS (7). Young children with JIS have a very high risk of progression (7). In fact, when it\u2019s a child with JIS and a Cobb angle greater than 30 degrees will have a 100% prognosis for surgery whereby the curve progresses to 40-45 degrees (7). While progression risk is a little harder to predict with curves between 21 and 30 degrees during the first two years of puberty we are still becoming more certain every day that these kids may benefit from a treatment regime of scoliosis specific exercises and bracing (4, 5). If the curves are caught early enough, some patients may even be able to trial a course of scoliosis specific exercises without the bracing. However, once the curves get to 20-25 degrees (possibly earlier in the very young) it is imperative that they are given the option of a combined treatment approach (bracing and scoliosis specific exercises) (2).<\/p>\n

Remember kids with scoliosis will eventually be adults with scoliosis. Missing out on early treatment options really does lead to a missed opportunity to empower these patients with choice. There is no cure for scoliosis so the sooner they are educated about the condition the better. Each patient deserves a holistic approach. The Cobb angle is one part, not the entire story (6).<\/p>\n
