by Molly Walker, Staff Writer, MedPage Today January 09, 2018 No recommendation on screening adolescents for idiopathic scoliosis will be forthcoming from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), which has concluded there isn’t enough evidence to determine whether the benefits outweigh the harms. While the Task Force found adequate evidence that treatment with a back brace […]

Chu, Eric. (2017). Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care. 6. 447-9. 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_52_17. Abstract Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains the most common and potentially severe form of scoliosis during the rapid growth period. It is generally accepted that AIS is a multifactorial disease controlled by genetic, hormonal, neuromuscular, and environmental factors. Herein, we describe a […]
