In our ongoing quest to achieve excellence in the treatment of our patients, last 6th of December our Hospital welcomed Dr. Hans Weiss, Head of the Schroth Best Practice Academy worldwide.
Together with local professionals trained by him, Dr. Santiago Lasa (Traumatologist), Dr. Gabriel Darricarrère (Physiatrist), and Lic. Daniela Hernández (Physiotherapist), they presented to our staff the “Schroth Best Practice and Gensingen Brace Weiss (Chêneau type)” method for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in its three forms: infantile, juvenile and adolescent.
This is the first time that a specific non-surgical treatment (exercises and brace) for this type of deformity has been presented in our Hospital which has solid scientific support and where scientific publications position it with the highest success rates, thus avoiding surgery.
This activity is part of the program “Schroth Best Practice comes to LATAM” as part of the first experiences at a continental level, all in Uruguay.
We congratulate our thriving staff of professionals for their permanent interest in remaining at the forefront of medicine, thus benefiting our patients and society as a whole.
