Abstract

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is an abnormal curvature of the spine that appears in late childhood or adolescence. Early treatment is critical for the prevention of the condition from becoming severe enough to require surgery. We compared the advantages and disadvantages of two treatment methods (i.e., bracing and yoga) for AIS treatment. After reviewing the protocol and the findings published in the journal article (about brace treatment) and the media article (about yoga treatment), we concluded that both methods were effective in the treatment of AIS, although each had its own weaknesses. Future studies need to explore whether the combination of bracing and yoga treatments could be more beneficial to AIS patients.
