Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of scoliosis and the cause is unknown. In this study, it was investigated whether conservative treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (CONTRAIS) reduced the patient's Cobb angle, and the effect of CONTRAIS according to the severity of idiopathic scoliosis and the efficacy of CONTRAIS by spinal region were also verified. Idiopathic scoliosis patients with a Cobb angle of 10° or more were recruited and classified into mild, moderate, and severe groups according to the Cobb angle (°). Cobb angle was measured radiographically before and after 10 weeks of treatment. A combination of CONTRAIS, including physical therapy, exercise therapy, manual therapy, and home exercise was prescribed for all patients. The patients visited the hospital 3 times a week for 10 weeks for treatment, and exercised at home for 20 min every day. In this study, the effect of reducing Cobb angle of CONTRAIS did not differ according to the spinal region. Also, the Cobb angle reduction effect of CONTRAIS was more effective in severe group.
