Scoliosis Rehab

Jonwana Gregory first noticed her daughter Lauren's scoliosis during bathtime when Lauren was only 9 months old. Now Lauren is almost nine years old, and in the third grade. Her curvature has progressed over time and causes her increasing pain.
Physical therapist Laura Files, of Cardon Children's Medical Center works with Lauren to help strengthen and relax her back muscles—which helps alleviate the pain.
Pool therapy has been the key to helping Lauren stay strong and comfortable -- and hopefully will help delay back surgery until Lauren moves further along the growth charts. Hear Jonwana and Lauren talk about living with scoliosis, and watch as Laura rehabs with Lauren in the pool.
