Patient Handbook
This handbook about Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) was written for patients as they begin their journey with Scoliosis. It also includes experiences and ideas from people who have already traveled this road. Having had the opportunity to care for many teens with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, we recognize that each family approaches this diagnosis in their own way. We hope that the information provided will help you in your journey through scoliosis treatment.
