UTHealth Houston 2026 Multidisciplinary Spine & Pediatric Scoliosis Symposium

UTHealth Houston 2026 Multidisciplinary Spine & Pediatric Scoliosis Symposium is organized by McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston and will be held from Oct 02 - 03, 2026 at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center, Houston, Texas, United States of America.

Objectives:

• Improve clinicians’ ability to detect, diagnose, and manage pediatric scoliosis by using validated screening tools, applying case based decision making for treatment selection, and performing comprehensive evaluations to distinguish idiopathic from neuromuscular scoliosis within a multidisciplinary care framework.
• Review and demonstrate evidence based physical therapy approaches and postoperative rehabilitation algorithms for spine fusion patients.
• Discuss operative and nonoperative options for lumbar spinal stenosis in a panel format to help clinicians compare indications, benefits, and limitations of each modality.
• Provide evidence based instruction and clinical guidance on performing therapeutic epidural procedures for chronic spinal pain, aligned with current comprehensive practice guidelines.
