Summary
Details

Idiopathic scoliosis is a condition in which, for no known reason, there is an atypical three-dimensional curvature and rotation of the spine. Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common type of scoliosis. For the large majority of people with this condition, no specific intervention is needed. For others, treatment such as bracing or surgery is needed to effectively manage the condition. While diagnosis and treatment can be challenging, individuals with idiopathic scoliosis can expect to lead typical lives. This practical guide explains idiopathic scoliosis and the evidence-based, best-practice treatments. It also includes the lived experience of families.

The writing of Idiopathic Scoliosis was led by Tenner J. Guillaume, MD, Walter H. Truong, MD, and Danielle Harding, PA-C, spine specialists at Gillette Children’s, a world-renowned center of excellence for the treatment of brain, bone, and movement conditions. Idiopathic Scoliosis is part of the Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series, a series of books for families who are looking for clear, comprehensive information. Health care professionals, educators, students, and extended family members will also benefit from reading Idiopathic Scoliosis.
