Scoliosis identified during childhood or adolescence requires monitoring because the curve can progress during periods of rapid growth. A mild curve at age eleven may remain mild, or it may increase as the growth spurt unfolds. The difference between those outcomes often depends on how closely the spine is being watched during that window.
Dr. Bronstein's pediatric credentials equip him to evaluate not only the current curvature but its likely behavior over the growth timeline. Scoliosis treatment in San Luis Obispo at Beacon Clinic includes periodic reassessment so that care can be adjusted in response to real changes rather than assumptions.
