ADULT SCOLIOSIS TREATMENT
FOR RESIDENTS OF Durant OK

Firstly, adult Scoliosis is a curve of the spine. In most patients, no surgery is needed; however, in patients who have a large curve and it affects breathing or walking, surgery can help correct those problems. Also, adult Scoliosis can vary from a minor problem, where it just needs to be watched, to chronic pain and a severe deformity.
