PSSE may be prescribed as the primary treatment for growing children with mild AIS (Cobb angle below 20-25 degrees).

✔ Reduce Curve Progression: Studies show PSSE may help to reduce curve progression.
✔ Reduce Need for Bracing: It could potentially reduce the need for bracing in adolescents with AIS.
✔ Other Benefits: PSSE has also been found to help improve muscle endurance, reduce spinal asymmetry, and improve quality of life.

The primary objectives of PSSE are to enhance patient education regarding scoliosis and its anatomical impact, facilitate three-dimensional auto-correction through active spinal realignment, integrate posture maintenance into activities of daily living to ensure lasting postural corrections and implement stabilization exercises to uphold the corrected posture, thereby minimizing scoliosis progression and promoting consistent postural alignment.

Earlier detection and earlier treatment improves outcomes!
Bracing research continues to reveal factors that may impact success. Thank you to our SRS colleagues and teams around the world for the important research done.

Spine Deformity Journal Article Spotlight! 🔦🌟

Topic: Bracing in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

▫️Findings 1: Males demonstrated significantly lower brace adherence than females, with an average difference of 16% (p=0.035)

▫️Findings 2: Older age at the pre-brace visit was a significant predictor of curve progression. Each one-year increase in age was associated with a three-degree increase in curve magnitude at the 24-month follow-up (p=0.006)

▫️Findings 3: In this cohort, other factors like race, ethnicity, median household income, and insurance type were not found to be significantly associated with either adherence or curve progression

Conclusion: Despite adherence declining to 64% by 24 months, the average curve magnitude for the cohort remained stable and within the criteria for bracing success

When your child has a surgery coming up, being prepared makes a big difference. Here’s how you can help things go smoothly:

Complete all pre-admission tests & medical clearances with enough time. It’s crucial that both our office and the surgical facility have reviewed everything before the big day.

Notify us about any changes in health (cold, fever, new medications, allergies). Full transparency helps avoid delays or complications.

Stop anti-inflammatory meds (like Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Ibuprofen, Aspirin) two weeks before surgery, unless your surgeon says otherwise. Tylenol is generally okay.

If someone in your home smokes, now is the time to stop. Smoke exposure can affect anesthesia and slow healing.

We’re committed to helping both parents and young patients feel supported every step of the way. If you’re preparing for surgery and have any questions, reach out to our team. We're happy to assist you through your pre- and post-operative process.

Did you know there is a higher prevelance of idiopathic scoliosis when there is a history of torticollis?
