\nWhat X-rays should I request for a patient who might have a scoliosis?<\/span>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

X-ray views for diagnosing scoliosis should be PA and Lateral full spine. For PA, include the spine from T1 to S1, the outer margin of the iliac crests (to evaluate the Risser sign), lateral rib margins (to assess rib angle alignment), both glenohumeral joints including the head of the humerus (to assess remaining growth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Lateral, include the spine from C7 to S1 and both femoral heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health professionals who take x-rays can access our Scoliosis X-ray Standardisation Guidelines by\u00a0contacting us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\nWhat is the best treatment for scoliosis?<\/span>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The treatment recommended for scoliosis will vary with the individual patient. The individual situation, the severity and location of the curve, age, potential for further growth and potential for degenerative change will all contribute to finding the right treatment. When the curves are small and flexible,\u00a0scoliosis specific rehabilitation<\/a>\u00a0may be the most appropriate treatment. For curves that are larger, or have a high risk of progression, an over-corrective scoliosis brace like\u00a0ScoliBrace\u00a0<\/a>can be a very effective treatment. In adults with degenerative scoliosis a specific adult scoliosis brace to stabilize the spine is usually the most appropriate treatment. Often combining scoliosis bracing and rehabilitation leads to the best outcomes. Surgery is generally considered a treatment of last resort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\nHow can I refer my patients to ScoliCare?<\/span>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\nIf I refer a patient, can they still get treatment at my clinic?<\/span>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Yes! ScoliCare clinics co-manage cases with other health professionals and, where appropriate, we encourage that they continue to see their referring healthcare provider. Our team will provide advice and recommendations for care specific to the patient\u2019s scoliosis, and we deliver those treatment services in our clinics. We can provide updates on patient progress, and support on how to offer adjunctive care within your clinic with tools such as the ScoliRoll orthotic device.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
