- 11-year-old female
- Initial Cobb angles 17º/25º
- Risser 0
This young scoliosis patient from Texas first came to us at 11-years-old with scoliosis Cobb angles of 25º and 17º. Two years after participating in our one-on-one Schroth program and Chêneau bracing, her curves measured 19º and 12º. Her rotation (as measured by Scoliometer™) had also decreased significantly. Twenty-one months later, as a Risser 3, she was headed for skeletal maturity, but still not fully grown. At this point in the treatment process, we look for a small amount of additional spinal improvement, or stabilization.
