The present application is directed to devices and methods for correcting a spinal deformity. One exemplary method comprises initially inserting a device into an interior of a vertebral member. The device may be a deformable material, or may be a mechanical apparatus. The device is then expanded in size such that it contacts against the interior of the vertebral member. The expanded device applies a force on the interior of the vertebral member that causes the member to expand from a first size to a second size. The process may include insertion into a single vertebral member, or multiple vertebral members along the spine.
