  • Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity in children. At present, the main clinical treatment methods include follow-up, surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment, while non-surgical treatment can delay and control the progression of the disease and buy time for growth and development as well as surgical treatment. Serial casting, traction therapy and targeted exercise for scoliosis are all non-surgical treatments that have been used in clinical practice for many years. With the progress of technology and treatment, new ideas have been provided for the non-surgical treatment of EOS, such as the change of treatment mode and site of action, pharmacological research, mental health monitoring, etc. This article summarizes the nonsurgical treatment methods and new ideas for the development of early onset scoliosis.
