Can Scoliosis Be Cured Without Surgery?
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine greater than 10°. In non-surgical care, we consider a “cure” any treatment that brings the curve below 10°. With early detection and the Silicon Valley Scoliosis Method™, many patients achieve this goal.
Key Factors for Non-Surgical “Cures”
- Curve size: Curves of 10–25° are most often fully corrected; curves up to 30° can sometimes drop below 10°.
- Targeted bracing: Our custom brace addresses the root cause and straightens the spine as much as possible.
- Close monitoring: Radiation-free standing MRI tracks progress in real time.
For curves between 25–39°, we achieve an average 35% reduction—even if the curve remains above 10°.
Real-World Results by Curve Degree
Scoliosis Curves Ranging from 10–25°
Cases with 25–39° Curves
Curves from 40–50°
Despite these clear successes, some surgeons still insist only surgery can correct scoliosis. Our clinical data and patient stories prove that non-surgical correction is real and repeatable.
Why Early Detection Makes a Difference
The sooner treatment begins, the better the outcome. At Scoliosis Care Centers™, we focus on:
- Routine screening to catch curves early
- Customized intervention before curves worsen
- Preventive care that may offer a true cure for most juvenile cases
With diligent screening and early intervention, a preventive cure is possible for many children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
Choosing the right scoliosis treatment early can make the difference between lifelong spinal issues and lasting correction. At Scoliosis Care Centers™, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow up free from the burden of scoliosis progression. You’re asking the right questions—like ‘is scoliosis curable?’ or ‘can scoliosis be cured without surgery?’—and we’re here to help you find the answers. Our team is dedicated to providing advanced, non-surgical care backed by science, technology, and a commitment to real results.
