What is Scoliosis Surgery Treatments Scoliosis can affect anyone from a baby to an adult, but it often appears in children aged 10-14. The effects are mild in most children, as the curve corrects itself with the help of physiotherapy and bracing. But some of the children may develop spine deformities that continue to grow severe, as they grow making bracing infeasible or ineffective. Surgical Treatment for Scoliosis is the recommended option as it straightens the curve significantly, stops the curve from growing.
