Scoliosis Treatment

Doctors at the OHSU Spine Center treat children and adults with scoliosis (spine curvature). Our spine specialists use conservative (non-surgical) scoliosis treatments such as physical therapy, and perform surgery only when necessary.

What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a medical condition that causes the spine to curve from side to side (spine curvature). In some cases, the spine also rotates causing one shoulder blade to project (stick out) farther than the other. Scoliosis can affect the thoracic spine (mid-back) and lumbar spine (lower back).
