Scoliosis or kyphosis – our treatment

The highly specialised Scoliosis Centre at Schoen Clinic Neustadt is one of the largest facilities in Germany for the treatment of scoliosis and kyphosis. Our experienced and internationally renowned spine specialists are at your disposal for your therapy and will guide you through the process of your treatment. If conservative therapies, such as special exercises from physiotherapy (e.g. Schroth therapy) or a brace no longer help you during the growth phase, surgery for scoliosis or kyphosis is a sensible long-term treatment in the case of pronounced forms with further potential for the progression of the deformity. The aim of any therapy is to prevent the development of severe forms and possible relevant health consequences such as pain, further progression of the deformity and impairment of the cardiovascular system. Our spine surgeons have decades of clinical and scientific expertise in the surgical treatment of scoliosis or kyphosis, which you can rely on.

Conservative treatment methods

  • Brace treatment (specially made in the hospital's own orthopaedic workshop)
  • Check-ups (clinical and radiological with low-radiation EOS X-rays)
  • Accompanying physiotherapy: Three-dimensional scoliosis treatment according to Katharina Schroth

Surgical treatment methods

  • Growth-directing implants, such as "growing rods"
  • Spinal corrections in adolescence and adulthood (corrective spondylodesis), from the back (dorsal) or the front (ventral)

Aftercare/rehabilitation

  • Physiotherapy at our Clinic for Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
