A chiropractor without pediatric-specific training can identify a scoliotic curve. Evaluating its significance in a growing child requires additional knowledge: growth plate maturation and Risser staging, along with the clinical factors that predict progression. This is the kind of assessment that a general practitioner is not trained to perform.
Dr. Bronstein's diplomate in pediatrics provides that framework. It is why Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic can offer scoliosis treatment to San Luis Obispo families with a level of developmental specificity that the credential was designed to support.
