Scoliosis Treatment Market Overview:
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can occur in growing children during growth spurt just before puberty. Though the exact cause for scoliosis is not known, in many cases it has been caused by conditions such as muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. Depending on the severity of the curve and the risk for it getting worse, scoliosis can be treated with observation, bracing, or surgery. It is one of the most common types of spinal deformities and in the United States, total number of scoliosis cases is estimated to be more than 4 million. Nearly 29,000 scoliosis surgeries are performed on adolescents every year in the U.S.
Scoliosis Treatment Market Statistics includes wearing back braces and in severe cases spinal surgery. While in many cases where the scoliosis is not very severe a back brace is worn that can be removed for activities like showing, in more complicated cased, rods are placed inside the body which have to be extended every 6 months in growing children. As such cases can be quite traumatic for some patient, innovation in the scoliosis treatment industry has witnessed the introduction of MAGEC rods that are different from traditional rods as they can be magnetically lengthened without any surgery.

Industry News:
The exact reason for why scoliosis occurs is yet to be determined but researchers have discovered noels means or identifying spinal curvature patterns in younger children that may develop into scoliosis during their adolescence. The finding is significant as it will help in scoliosis prediction, and may lead to development of methods to prevent the potentially disabling condition. However according to the researchers participating in the study, further and detailed research is yet to be undertaken to determine verify the conclusion of the study.
Other technological advancements that can potentially augment the growth of the scoliosis market include new imaging technology developed by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York that will create three-dimensional maps of the spine to help treat patients with scoliosis. At present enrollment of participants is going on for the study that will test accuracy of the camera that will use 3D surface imaging system. The approach is a significant one as it will eliminate the need for patients to be exposed to radiological imaging that most scoliosis patients have to face for many years.
