This section does not belong here. It is general advice about after-surgery care for any surgery, rather that being anything specific to Scoliosis surgery. It is also has a different (lower) level of assumed knowledge from the rest of the article: although there undoubtedly are readers who do not know what a catheter is (for example), such readers would never get to this point in such a fairly "advanced" article.
One solution to the issues I raise would be to transfer the contents of this section to a new article (if one does not already exist), and just to make a brief reference here to that article. I am not sufficiently experienced to attempt this myself, and in any case there may be other possible solutions.

Swimming and dipping in swimming pool ( hydrodynamical and hydrostatical water properties are significant). Neurons regenerate more at water because of its hydrostatical and hydrodynamical properties. Organization of Neurons: neuronal pools. Shoe_insert. Posture Corrector.

The current history section reads so, so poorly; mostly because it has no paragraph breaks. I would do it myself but I wouldn't be certain where it is appropriate to break the text into paragraphs. Nerarth ( talk) 00:41, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
Evidence appears to be weak per [2] among other sources. Have trimmed the primary sources and adjusted to reflect this.

Initial paragraph of introduction states that "Typically, no pain is present", whilst the first item of Signs & Symptoms is pain.

This paper does not mention the treatment in question
"schroth method. [1]"
This paper has an impact factor of 0.24 ie really low
Emergent research instead supports the use of the Schroth method in the treatment of scoliosis. [2]

would the fact that scoliosis is known to occur in other vertebrates be notable? I was reading up on Temnospondyli and they were the first known fossilized case of a vertebra with scoliosis. was unsure which page this fact would belong on - possibly both? Read about it here: A hemivertebra in a temnospondyl amphibian: the oldest record of scoliosis (tandfonline.com) Feralcateater000 ( talk) 03:58, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
The introduction states that females are affected in a 4:1 ratio relative to males, but none of the sources (or their archives) mention a ratio. I have found a few references that have quoted a ≈10:1 ratio, as well as references mentioning that among diagnosed cases girls are more likely to see their cases progress.
