Answer:

Wa alaikum assalam. I'm sorry to hear about your son's scoliosis. As a medical assistant, I would recommend speaking to your son's doctor to have a thorough discussion about treatment options. Bracing is a common treatment for scoliosis, and it is essential to follow the doctor's guidance on wearing the brace for the recommended hours.

In addition to bracing, physical therapy and exercises may also be beneficial for managing scoliosis. It's crucial to ensure your son maintains good posture and participates in regular physical activity to help strengthen the muscles supporting his spine. Encouraging a healthy lifestyle with nutritious food and adequate sleep can also contribute to overall well-being.

If you have concerns about the treatment plan, it's essential to communicate openly with your son's healthcare team. They can address any questions or issues you may have and work with you to find the best possible solution for your son's condition. Remember, every case of scoliosis is unique, so individualized care is key.
