The electrospinal treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in the adolescent.
The transcutaneous electrospinal treatment adds another approach to the conservative treatment of small and moderate idiopathic scoliotic curves. The method presented here is readily accepted by both the adolescent and the parents. It is inexpensive, and allows flexibility as to the location and number of electrodes to be used and the curve treated. The data presented here, collected over a five-year period of clinical monitoring and recording, indicate that results are favorable, therefore, the method is acceptable.
