ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a non surgical method of modulating spinal curvature in developing vertebrates. Agents capable of temporarily interfering with neuromuscular transmission, e.g., botulinum toxin, are injected into the musculature of the back to create an imbalance in the muscular support of the developing spine. The procedure may be used to produced non human scoliosis animal models and in the clinical management of juvenile scoliosis.
