Additional Services
Surgical and Non-Surgical Scoliosis Solutions
- Although we're fully equipped to provide surgery for those who need it, our first consideration is to always look for non-surgical solutions.
- Because we're able to draw from our team of physical therapists, orthotists, orthopedic surgeons, and neurosurgeons, we have a high success rate in both surgical and non-surgical options.
- The minimally-invasive surgical techniques used by our orthopedic surgeons are some of the most cutting-edge options for the treatment of early-onset scoliosis, infantile scoliosis, and other deformities in the growing spine.
- Children who can be cared for with braces and other orthotic support devices will continue to receive a high quality of care at Children’s Hospital Oakland for the duration of their treatment.
