While measuring the height of a 12-year-old girl, the primary care provider noted a deviation of the girl's spine. This was quantified as being a right curve scoliosis of approximately 10 degrees deviation. Which treatment option is most appropriate?

Hi !

The use of surgery or braces is not indicated with a 10-degree curvature.

- Observation and no active treatment
