Treating Children With Congenital Scoliosis Radio Rounds

Congenital scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that is caused by a defect that was present at birth. It occurs in only 1 in 10,000 newborns and is much less common than the type of scoliosis that begins in adolescence. Even though congenital scoliosis is present at birth, it is sometimes impossible to see any spine problems until a child reaches adolescence.

Dr. Gupta joins the show to explain more about congenital scoliosis and when to refer to a specialist.
