A deformed spine in growing children can become a problem that lives with them for the rest of their lives. If helped early, they can be curtailed at a much earlier stage. The most common misconception being that a deformed spine needs attention in his/her teen age. Spine surgeons gauge with utmost care the problem deformities and if needed suggest surgeries even as young as 5 years.
