Does the Schroth Method Work?

In one study, spinal deformity improved in 69 percent of patients who completed Schroth exercises compared to only 6 percent in patients who did not complete the exercises.

How long does it take for the Schroth method to work?

Most patients see visible improvement in the degree of their spine curvature after completing a Schroth program. The length of the program may vary, but typically includes between five and 20 sessions.

Can a curved spine be straightened without surgery?

Fortunately, most cases of scoliosis do not require any treatment and very few require surgical treatment. If your child's spinal curve progresses to more than 40-50 degrees, depending on location, or if your child's curve is advancing rapidly, your doctor might recommend surgery.
