What is your postal code? It is very important when scoliosis treatment is needed in Canada. When to start bracing, which brace, how long will be braced and how much it will cost the family, it will all depend which province you live in. More Canadian teens are falling through the cracks than before and end up in surgery. Scoliosis progression can be prevented in most cases with early diagnosis and timely treatment, consequently spinal surgery can be avoided. Long wait list for surgery and getting spinal fusion is free in Canada but preventative care comes with a high cost for families. Bracing remains the cornerstone of non-surgical management for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with an aim to minimize the risk of progression and to avoid spine surgery. In Canada however, one third to half of patients present with curve magnitudes too severe for optimal brace treatment, resulting in higher than necessary surgical volumes. High-cost spine surgeries are fully funded while non-surgical management is not. This Professional Opinion article highlights systemic barriers to early detection that limit opportunity for non-surgical management in Canada and ultimately drive up healthcare spending. In Canada, there is an urgent need for a coordinated national strategy to re-establish routine scoliosis screening, ensure equitable public funding for treatment and expand professional training in non-surgical spinal care.

18 years later — still teaching Schroth and Lyon Method Scoliosis Specific Physiotherapy.
The first photo is from my EOS lecture to PTs at Hunter College — sharing knowledge, research, and passion for scoliosis care.
Christa Lehnert-Schroth wanted to share her and Katharina’s method with the world. When she appointed me as a Schroth teacher in 2014, it was both an honor and a responsibility I carry to this day.
(The photo is from 2008 at the Schroth Museum.)
Continuing the legacy. Teaching the science. Honoring the method. 🗓⏳👣

What is Scoliosis:
Scoliosis awareness remains low in our community, in part because scoliosis is not routinely screened within Canada’s health-care system. Without early screening, many cases go unnoticed until the curve has already progressed. Education is key—when families, educators, and health-care providers know what signs to look for, scoliosis can be identified earlier and treated sooner, helping to slow or halt progression and improve long-term outcomes.
