Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lin Yunfei
A four-month-old baby with scoliosis may experience compression of surrounding organs, causing varying degrees of damage to the heart, kidneys, and other organs. Therefore, early intervention using orthotic correction is essential to improve the condition and achieve favorable treatment outcomes. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary to alleviate organ compression and prevent serious complications.
