The approach of Watching and Waiting is what is offered by the medical community for small scoliosis curves. If your scoliosis curve is below 20 degrees the doctor will just ask you to return 6 months later for another check up. That is not a solution.

I believe that this is a wrong approach to Idiopathic Scoliosis management.

With this in mind, today I am starting E-SMART, an open organization for patients, parents and therapists that are convinced that the attitude of Watching and Waiting is not for them, and that an active approach is the best management for small curves.

In short, E-SMART endorses early intervention when small curves are detected so as to prevent deterioration of the curve ; and looks at the different non surgical treatments available but does not recommend or favour one over the other.
I would like to invite you to join me and support E-SMART.

Take a stand now and help spread the word- show it by using one of the images below in your signature wherever you may be posting.

Together we can change public opinion and change for the better.
