Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

As the aetiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is unknown and the majority of patients are asymptomatic, healthy, active adolescents, there is no system of primary prevention.

All patients with a diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) are advised to maintain a regular fitness routine, specifically toward developing improved core strength and conditioning.
