Scoliosis

Scoliosis Management
Scoliosis is more than just a curvature of the spine. At Infinite Technologies Orthotics and Prosthetics, our clinicians are highly trained in the management of this often complex diagnosis. We not only understand the ins and outs of this diagnosis physically, but we understand the mental and emotional stress that it can put on kids and teenagers. You can rest assured that we will not only address the diagnosis, but we will get to know your child and what makes him/her unique! We treat each child as an individual and want them to feel like they are part of our clinical family throughout their length of treatment. We will help you and your child understand the diagnosis, importance of compliant wear of his/her device and how this can affect them long term.
Our team of clinicians is trained in various the various styles of bracing that will help to treat your child’s individual curve. We work closely with your child’s physician to determine the best brace choice and design that will manage the curvature as effectively as possible. Below you will find some frequently asked questions regarding this condition, but we always encourage you to reach out and speak to one of our clinicians regarding this diagnosis and treatment.
