Gold Coast Scoliosis Clinic
Early scoliosis detection provides a far wider range of effective treatment options and better long-term outcomes.
About Scoliosis and Kyphosis
Scoliosis is a progressive lateral (sideways) curvature of the spine.
Kyphosis is the term used to describe the front to back curve of the spine which causes a ‘hunching’ / forward bending.
Adolescent Scoliosis
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is a 3D deformity of the spine causing sideways bending and rotation of the spine. It is often detected in early adolescence as the child starts their major growth spurt.
Adult Scoliosis
When Scoliosis is diagnosed in adults, it is either a result of childhood Scoliosis which has only been detected in adulthood, or the result of spinal degeneration, trauma or disease.

About Gold Coast Scoliosis Clinic

We are a ScoliCare affiliate clinic and work closely with the Sydney Scoliosis Clinic, the leaders in non-surgical Scoliosis treatment and management. We pride ourselves on providing the latest 3D technology in Scoliosis scanning and bracing whilst following the internationally recognised Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) guidelines for the conservative management of Scoliosis.
