Why Catching Scoliosis Before the Growth Spurt Changes Everything
Most people know when they have scoliosis and early detection and treatment yields the best results. For adults, we take care of you whether it started from youth or old age degeneration.
What Patients Tell Us After 6 Months of Treatment
Your posture will improve, slow or reduce the scoliosis curves from getting worse (avoiding surgery), and you’ll have less pain and discomfort.
Worried About Bracing? Here’s What Parents Ask Us Most
Bracing can be too hot, painful to wear or embarrassing in front of others, so we offer a German Taping Technique to compliment the exercises.This taping method won’t fix your curve but it’s directly on your skin, no bulky brace and helps alleviate pain.
Adjustments (No twisting available)
ScoliBalance® is used to teach over-correction posture and exercises. Also, a taping method developed in Germany that uses your own biomechanics to straighten posture can be used. The 3D asymmetric mirror image ScoliBrace® is also used and is a top recommendation.
Patients Travel from Across Louisiana and Beyond — Here’s Why
We are the only ones in nearly 3 states that offer this comprehensive approach. You leave on day 1 with a home plan- whether you drive 5 hours or 10 minutes.
Brace Treatment
A 3d CAM/CAD Over Corrective brace like ScoliBrace actually is 100% custom made to your body size and curves. It consistently reduces the curves because it puts the curve in the opposite direction. Stopping surgery isn’t enough, let’s reduce the curves.

Scoliosis is First found in children
The 4 Treatment Paths for Childhood Scoliosis — And Which One Actually Corrects the CurveWait and See
“Hope the curve stops on its own… but what if it doesn’t?”
Waiting is missing your greatest window of opportunity. In a single growth spurt, a “small” curve can become a “mandatory brace” curve in under 6 months. We don’t wait for things to get worse; we act while the spine is easier and less costly to manage.
Special Scoliosis Exercises
“Active correction that works with the body, not against it.”
Most general PTs teach basic stretching, but “tight vs. weak” is just scratching the surface. To see a real reduction, you need ScoliBalance—specific mirror-image exercises designed to over-correct the spine’s position and retrain the brain to hold it there.
A 100% Custom Brace Built for Correction, Not Just Stability—So They Can Live Like a Normal Kid.
“The only brace designed to push the curve back, not just hold it in place.”
Traditional Boston braces just “hold” the curve to stop it from getting worse. Our 3D CAM/CAD ScoliBrace is custom-designed to put the curve in the opposite direction. This allows the child’s spine to actually improve as they grow, rather than just surviving the growth spurt.
Surgery with Rods and Screws
“Effective for severe cases, but it’s permanent—and it should be the last conversation, not the first.”
This option should be the last resort or for those curves that are just progressing to fast especially at a young age or causing distress to organs. Fusing the spine with rods and screws changes a child’s life forever. While it is necessary for fast-progressing curves that threaten organ function, our goal is to provide every non-surgical tool available to keep your child under the 55° surgical threshold..

Early Detection
Early detection is crucial in managing scoliosis (females age 8-12, males age 10-14) and preventing it from causing significant back pain and other complications in adulthood.
This clinic is the only 1 in the surrounding 4 states (LA, MS, AK, OK, AL & Houston) to have the same ScoliCare® certifications.
Signs you can look for even as a parent are:
- one shoulder higher than the other,
- pants don’t lay even across the child’s hips,
- uneven shoulder blades
- one shoulder blade sticks out more (usually Right side)
- when bending over you see the ribs start to hump.
- (adult signs) hunched over, leans to one side or leans forward

Reasons to Try Here
Help Your Child Stand Tall: The ScoliBalance Approach
When you find out your child has scoliosis, the road ahead can feel overwhelming. You want a solution that doesn’t just “watch and wait” but actively helps them grow stronger and straighter. That is exactly why we use the ScoliBalance system.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, ScoliBalance creates a custom 3D roadmap specifically for your child’s unique curve. By combining the five most effective scoliosis therapies into one cohesive program, we provide a proactive path to care that works with your child’s growth, not against it.
Why Parents Choose ScoliBalance for Their Children:
Targeted 3D Correction: We use specialized exercises that mirror your child’s specific curve, helping to re-train their muscles and posture.
Evidence-Based Care: Our program strictly follows global SOSORT guidelines, ensuring your child is receiving the highest standard of non-surgical care.
Proactive Results: We don’t just monitor curves; we use corrective motions and home-based support to help slow or even stop curve progression.
Built for Real Life: We aim to improve your child’s posture, balance, and body confidence, all while helping them maintain their favorite sports and daily activities.
How It Works: Your Child’s Personalized Journey
Every spine is different, which is why your child’s plan is completely personalized based on their posture, curve type, and functional needs. By integrating ScoliBrace (our custom-designed, over-corrective bracing) with Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE), we create a system that is as unique as your child is.
Ready to help your child build a stronger, more confident future? Don’t wait for the curve to progress. Let’s create a personalized plan to stabilize your child’s spine and protect their health during these critical growth years.

Beyond Bracing: Support and Comfort with German Scoliosis Taping
Sometimes, the best support is the kind you barely notice. If your child is struggling to adapt to a traditional brace, or if they need extra support while participating in their daily activities, our German-inspired Scoliosis Taping Technique offers a discreet, highly effective alternative.
Mastered by Dr. Justin during two years of intensive training in Germany, this specialized technique uses our custom-engineered A Doctor’s Perspective Nylon Kinesiology Tape. It isn’t just about support; it’s about providing your child with the comfort they need to stay active and confident.
Why Parents & Kids Love Our Taping Technique:
Built for Comfort: Unlike rigid alternatives, this nylon-based tape is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and feels like a second skin. It is perfect for kids who are active, play sports, or live in our humid Louisiana climate.
Discreet & Reliable: The tape is worn directly on the skin for up to 5 days at a time. It’s so subtle that your child can wear it under their clothes at school or during practice—no one will ever know it’s there.
Gentle Pain & Postural Support: While bracing is a cornerstone of correction, this taping technique provides a gentle, consistent reminder for your child’s muscles to support their spine, helping to relieve tension and improve posture without the bulk of a brace.
The “Compliance” Solution: We know that for some kids, wearing a brace 24/7 is a significant challenge. For those who refuse a brace but are committed to their ScoliBalance and ScoliRoll exercises, this taping method can be a game-changer, keeping them supported and on-track with their treatment goals.
A Proven Method, Close to Home
Families have traveled for hours—some riding the train for three hours one way for months—just to access this unique combination of specialized massage, targeted adjustments, and our signature 5-day nylon taping method. We are proud to bring this proven, German-mastered care to South Louisiana, helping children regain their mobility and enjoy an active, pain-free life.
Is your child finding it hard to stick with their current scoliosis plan? Sometimes, all it takes is a different kind of support to make the difference. Let’s talk about how our taping technique can fit into your child’s daily routine.

Is Your Child Resisting Their Brace?
We offer different options
We know that bracing is the gold standard for many, but we also know it isn’t always easy. Whether it’s comfort, heat, or school, we understand the struggle. If your child is struggling to wear their brace but is committed to their ScoliBalance exercises and German taping, we have a plan to keep them on track and moving toward a straighter spine.
Our clinic’s comprehensive approach to scoliosis treatment combines corrective motions, exercises, and mild home traction.
Scolibalance focuses on resetting abnormal muscle patterns by the doctor guiding you through specific postural corrections tailored to your exact spine, performing spinal adjustments, percussion massage and using kinesiology tape to support new corrections. By relaxing overly tight problem areas and waking up overly stretched areas, we can help your body reset to what is actually normal.
Spinal adjustments are not enough to see postural corrections in scoliosis. What Dr. Justin learned in Germany is quite unique and we’ve seen results without braces. Combining that with ScoliBalance and ScoliRoll and it’s mirror image postural corrections, exercises and traction, the results have been astonishing.
If a patient comes from 2+ hours away, most appointments are double the normal time. Let’s respect the time you drove here and maximize your visit..

Timing is Crucial: Early Intervention Before Rapid Growth Can Be The Difference of Surgery or Not
Understanding the Basics of Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition in which an individual’s spine has lateral, or side to side curvature and rotation, and can occur at many levels of the spine.
Mild scoliosis has a risk of progression 22% after curve reaches 20°, and symptoms include tilted head, uneven shoulders or hips, forward head posture, uneven leg lengths, and cosmetic deformity
80-85% of scoliosis cases are idiopathic, and scoliosis can also be classified as congenital or neuromuscular.
Moderate scoliosis has a higher risk of progression (68%) than mild scoliosis, and symptoms include more uneven shoulders or hips, bigger rib hump, fatigue after physical activity, pain in the spine and headaches. Bracing is the most common treatment, over corrective braces like ScoliBrace work best.
Scoliosis can be mild 10° to 25°, moderate 26° to 40° or severe above 40°, depending on the degree of the spinal curvature.
Severe scoliosis has a 90% risk of progression, and symptoms include a visibly curved spine, torso rotation, rib hump, fatigue, clumsiness, pain, and headaches. Surgery is often recommended for severe scoliosis.
Growth and Interventions To Prevent Surgery
Non-surgical scoliosis treatment in children and adolescents
- Scoliosis treatment in children and adolescents can be done effectively without surgery, and no curve should be ignored.
- Comprehensive scoliosis treatment allows the child to stay in control of the scoliosis by addressing the root cause, using a brace and scoliosis exercises.
- Scientific research contradicts “watch and wait” as a safe treatment, and instead recommends early intervention comprising of physiotherapy and bracing to avoid surgery in most cases.
- The best treatment is prevention by treating scoliosis the moment it is discovered.
Utilizing growth spurt to straighten the spine
- Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis worsens rapidly with growth, but the pubertal growth spurt can be utilized to straighten the spine instead of allowing it to worsen.
- The faster a child grows, the faster scoliosis worsens/ progresses.
- The peak rates of growth occur within a very small time frame of 1.5 – 2.5 years, which is the window of opportunity. This is where most scoliosis cases are either won or lost.
Early detection and intervention
- The success rate of scoliosis treatment is directly related to how early treatment begins.
- The longer scoliosis is present, the more “stuck” it becomes due to ligaments and muscles becoming short and stiff, and bones becoming asymmetric.
- The younger the child and the larger the scoliosis, the greater the risk of progression.
- Determining a child’s Risser helps determine where they are in their growth, as well as their risk of progression.
- It is important to take into consideration multiple factors when assessing the risk of scoliosis progression and potential need for treatment, including the magnitude and pattern of the curve, age, gender, and skeletal maturity.
Bracing as an effective treatment option
- A brace is the only tool proven to work for curves over 25 degrees.
- Successful brace treatment depends on how straight the brace makes the spine.
- Multiple recent scientific studies have confirmed that bracing has been shown to be effective when worn 23/7.
- The smaller the curve can become before adulthood, the less it will potentially progress in adulthood.
- The Non-surgical treatment options such as ScoliBrace, ScoliRolll traction device and specialized exercises, ScoliBalance, have been shown to be effective in preventing or slowing scoliosis progression and improving spinal alignment.the curve can become before adulthood, the less it will potentially progress in adulthood.
