Although in practice since antiquity the nonoperative treatment of spinal deformities is still controversial. Giving preference to orthotic treatment and physiotherapy the historical development of nonoperative treatment will be demonstrated by the examples of idiopathic scoliosis and Scheuermann's kyphosis. It is surprising how early essential and still valuable principles of nonoperative treatment had been acquired and how many of the present-day concepts have remarkable forerunners in the 19th century. In the light of previous knowledge and personal experience the indication, practice and realistic capabilities of modern nonoperative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis and Scheuermann's kyphosis are pointed out.
