Our Approach

Scoliosis and Hyperkyphosis Treatment

At the ScoliCare clinic in Melbourne we’re committed to an evidence-based treatment approach, ready to support you or your child through the treatment journey.

Our process begins with a thorough scoliosis assessment led by one of our clinicians, including a review of X-rays and medical history, and a discussion about any concerns and goals.

Following the assessment, a personalised treatment plan is developed, taking into account factors such as age, severity of the curve, and symptoms. This plan might include bracing, specific exercise rehabilitation (ScoliBalance®), or surgery if deemed in the patient’s best interest.

Dedicated to providing patient-centered care, we always place the individual’s goals at the forefront of the treatment process, aiming to enhance quality of life and achieve the best possible outcomes.

At ScoliCare Melbourne, our clinic team is dedicated to offering cutting-edge and minimally invasive scoliosis treatment options for babies, children, adolescents and adults. Common treatment options for scoliosis have traditionally involved options like generic bracing and surgical intervention. At ScoliCare, our scoliosis treatment options include:

  • Personalised 3D scanned braces — ScoliCare offers a truly custom 3D spinal brace for children, adolescents and adults with scoliosis and kyphosis. The unique approach means that no two braces are the same just as no two curves are the same. Specially created for you after a comprehensive scoliosis assessment and scanning, these braces can help improve postural alignment and provide relief to common scoliosis symptoms.
  • Scoliosis specific exercises — As a leading provider of high-quality scoliosis specific exercise programs in Melbourne, we firmly believe that a dynamic and personalised exercise approach is an excellent treatment option for many people living with scoliosis or kyphosis. It is a treatment that is often combined with bracing. We call our program, ScoliBalance.
  • Spinal fusion — Commonly recommended for patients with moderate to severe cases of scoliosis, spinal fusion is not always your only option for treatment. At ScoliCare, we encourage our patients to explore the full range of non-surgical options available before committing to surgery. For more information about our recommendations and services, please read our contact us today.

When it comes to finding quality scoliosis treatment in Melbourne, ScoliCare should strongly be considered. We undertake a thorough assessment and then provide details of all treatment options available whether it be bracing, exercise or surgery. As advocates for minimally-invasive and non-surgical treatment options for scoliosis, we believe in taking a holistic and personalised approach to supporting the health of your spine. Able to treat both children and adults, our interdisciplinary team of spine health practitioners works together to help each one of our patients on their individual journey.

To begin treatment with our team, we first start with a comprehensive consultation and assessment appointment. During this appointment, we will discuss your medical history, explore your current symptoms, and assess the progression and severity of your scoliosis or kyphosis. This is a great opportunity to ask us any questions you may have, so please feel free to bring a list of concerns with you to the clinic.

After our team has had the chance to review the information including X-rays, your personalised treatment plan will be created. The treatment options we will suggest will depend on a multitude of factors such as age, the severity of the disease and current symptoms.
