Abstract
The adult with idiopathic or degenerative scoliosis usually seeks treatment for relief of pain. Identifying the source of pain is crucial in formulating a plan of treatment. Nonoperative treatment is best suited to those adults with mild pain or elderly patients for whom surgery is not prudent. Analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, orthoses, and activity modification are the mainstays of treatment.Entities:
