FAQs

What is scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional curvature of the spine that develops in children and adults for unknown reasons. An estimated 6.9 million people in the United States have a form of scoliosis. Research displays a multi-disciplinary approach using scoliosis-specific exercises, bracing and ongoing monitoring is the best way to treat scoliosis.

Who Is this program for?

Scoliosis treatment at The Restoration Space is open for all ages, children through adults, whether presently braced or not.

Does insurance cover this Service?

In most cases, yes! The Restoration Space Physical Therapy is in network with most major insurances. Call to inquire about yours.

*We do offer self-pay options for those with insurance limitations or for those whose insurance may not participate with The Restoration Space.

Is this service provided anywhere else in the Lehigh Valley?

As far as we know, it is not! This is the first program like this in our area, similar to that provided at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Johns Hopkins Hospital and other major medical centers

What Should I wear for my first visit?

Wear comfortable clothing. Because we’d like to get a look at the spine and the muscles around it, we will likely be asking you to remove your shirt at some points of the evaluation and treatments. Therefore, we ask that females wear a sports bra or cami underneath top layers.

Should I bring anything to my first visit?

If you are able to bring any X-rays or other imaging reports that you have had prior to the evaluation, that would be super helpful!
