A fusionless method of treating spinal deformities in the spine of a child or young adult involves attaching a tether to vertebral bodies on the convex side of the spine. Deformities are treated by using the tether to selectively constrain growth in a portion of the convex side of the spine. One device for tethering the spine is a combination of a strand (38) threaded through channels (20, 21) defined in a set of blocks (10) attached to the vertebral bodies on the convex side of the spine.
