Nemours Scoliosis Program
Scoliosis, whether it be mild or severe, is highly treatable. In fact, most children and teens who receive proper treatment go on to enjoy full, active lives — with a strengthened and straightened spine.
At Nemours Spine and Scoliosis Center, we offer a customized plan of care for each patient. Using enhanced 3D imaging of the spine and the lowest amount of radiation possible, we can accurately diagnose spine conditions and provide patient families with a broad range of treatment options.
For our spinal fusion patients, we offer an opioid-free recovery at home. This rapid recovery program includes:
- excellent pain management with less side-effects
- hospital stays that are reduced by 50%
- the opportunity for patients to heal faster at home

Patient Story
“She’ll grow out of it."
That’s what Sammy’s parents were told about the curve in their her back. But Sammy didn’t grow out of it and was diagnosed with a 104-degree curve that required surgery.
Now, 3 inches taller as a result of her straightened spine, Sammy is back to competitive dancing.

It can be scary to hear that your child needs a brace or surgery to treat his or her scoliosis. But rest assured that your family is not alone. Scoliosis affects about 2-3 percent of the U. S. population and is most commonly found in adolescents and teens ages 10-15 years. Early intervention is essential to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Both in-person and video visits are available.
