SCOLIOSIS TREATMENT

At CTPO we understand that a diagnosis of scoliosis, the required hours of brace wear time and scoliosis-specific exercises can feel overwhelming at first. We are here to educate you and ease your concerns along the way with the goal of preventing surgery.

 

Our patients like to say they are bent, not broken, and we here at CTPO have your back!
