Transforming Scoliosis Care: Our Unique Approach

By Scoliosis Care Centers · July 2025 · 5 min read

At our Scoliosis Care Centers, we are redefining how scoliosis is treated, prioritizing your child’s health and comfort with innovative, radiation-free methods.

Nobody will go to greater lengths to assure your child’s spine grows straighter.

Uncompromising Commitment to Progress

We believe that any worsening of scoliosis during a child’s growth is unacceptable. Our mission is to ensure every child’s spine grows as straight as possible. We go to extraordinary lengths to achieve successful outcomes, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of excellence.

Eliminating X-Rays with Advanced Imaging

We understand the concerns about X-ray exposure, especially for growing girls. That’s why we’ve eliminated X-rays from scoliosis imaging. Instead, we use a quick, one-minute standing MRI to capture detailed images of the spine. Even young children can comfortably hold still for this brief scan, allowing us to monitor scoliosis with precision and safety.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Better Outcomes

To provide the most effective care, we’ve invested in two state-of-the-art upright MRI machines—one at each of our clinic locations. These allow us to:

  • Screen and monitor scoliosis more frequently than traditional X-ray methods.
  • Use MRI data to design custom braces for optimal spinal correction.

This advanced imaging technology enhances our ability to create braces that are both highly corrective and comfortable.

Proactive Quarterly Imaging

We advocate for quarterly spine imaging to closely track progress. With our radiation-free MRI approach, there’s no reason to wait six months to evaluate treatment effectiveness. Frequent monitoring is critical, especially during growth spurts when rapid changes can occur.

Precision Brace Design: The Silicon Valley Scoliosis Method

We design and craft all braces in-house, adhering to the highest standards of precision. Our proprietary Silicon Valley Scoliosis Brace Method ensures each brace is tailored for maximum correction and comfort. We dedicate days to perfecting every brace, knowing that its design is critical to your child’s success.

Inventing New Solutions for Scoliosis Care

Our commitment to innovation extends beyond imaging and bracing:

  • Scoliosis Traction Device: We’ve developed a unique device to address spinal contractures, a common challenge in scoliosis patients.
  • Custom Exercises: Our specially designed scoliosis exercises are simple enough for young children yet more effective than traditional Schroth exercises, which we’ve moved beyond.

Addressing the Root Cause

We believe in identifying and treating the underlying causes of scoliosis. By addressing these causes, we can help the spine grow straighter with less effort, leading to better long-term outcomes.
