Surgery was initially recommended for a 12yo girl with 75deg of #Kyphosis. During a second opinion, I offered hyperextension #stretching for just 60 seconds each day. Months later her spine was straighter & surgery was avoided. #conservativetreatment

Practice changing! Benjamin Roye presented #research at #ICEOS2023 this week. Night-time bracing of #EarlyOnsetScoliosis in 15-24deg #scoliosis is >3x more likely to improve the Cobb angle than observation & often prevents later full time bracing. #conservativetreatment #spine
