Scoliosis screening programs in the United States have largely been of limited success. This is often due to the fact that mild curvatures are often not treated in the United States.
Instead, observation, or a "wait and see" approach is taken until bracing and/or surgery is justified.
Unfortunately, this premise is based upon earlier studies that there are no other effective means of scoliosis correction.
