Published in a medical journal, a case report documents a non-surgical, multimodal treatment approach for a skeletally immature adolescent with severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), initially measured at a 42.4° Cobb angle and high risk of progression. The patient underwent an intensive CLEAR Institute–inspired scoliosis reduction program combined with a customized ScoliBrace® orthosis, incorporating targeted spinal mobilization, corrective traction, neuromuscular re-education, and home-based rehabilitation. At 13-month follow-up, radiographic analysis demonstrated a sustained reduction of the primary curve to 23.8°, alongside improvements in posture, physical function, and respiratory capacity. This case adds to the growing evidence that structured, conservative scoliosis care may offer meaningful structural and functional improvements in select AIS patients, potentially reducing the need for surgical intervention.
