Spinal curvature, or scoliosis, is an abnormal lateral curve of the spine that occurs in 0.5% to 2% of people and most often starts during the growth spurts that take place in puberty. The cause of this disease is unknown. Certain conditions such as neuromuscular problems and congenital structural abnormalities can predispose a person to develop scoliosis. These conditions may also be associated with the development of other health problems, such as muscular weakness and deformities, and cardiovascular complications. Early detection is critical because there are medications and treatments available which improve the quality of life for many children who have this disease.
The Advanced Spine Joint & Wellness Center treats scoliosis by using a number of non-surgical means. These treatments include bracing, physical therapy, massage therapy, and traction therapies. For more severe cases, we offer spinal fusion surgery to correct abnormalities in the spine.
