When the spine begins to curve during childhood or adolescence, it can lead to a condition known as scoliosis. While traditional treatments have remained largely unchanged for decades, new advancements are offering young patients and their families more choices and better outcomes. In this episode, our host Cathy Wurzer explores the evolving landscape of scoliosis care and what these innovations mean for the future of spinal health with Dr. A. Noelle Larson, Division Chair of Mayo Clinic Orthopedic Surgery and Michelle Marks, Executive Director at Setting Scoliosis Straight Foundation.
