Diagnosing in early stages helps in treating the curvature and slowing the progression. In some other cases, bracing is useful as it delays the need of surgery until the child gets older where the his or her bones have developed.
Many professionals and doctors research on this condition and do screenings with all kinds of people. Below are the findings on their research:
