SCOLIOSIS DOCTORS in Hackensack

WHAT IS SCOLIOSIS?

When you have an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that sort of looks like the letter C or the letter S, you likely have scoliosis. This condition is often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, but in some people, it’s not apparent until adulthood. Sometimes, a spinal curve that started in the teen years worsens in adulthood. As many as two to three percent of the population in the United States have scoliosis.

A scoliosis specialist is the best medical professional to consult if you think you may have scoliosis or any other type of abnormality in the spine. Doctors at Premier Brain & Spine’s advanced spine surgery center are New Jersey’s top spine specialists.

HOW DOES MY SCOLIOSIS DOCTOR CHOOSE THE BEST TREATMENT APPROACH?

Most people with scoliosis have the mild form of this disorder, and many cases of scoliosis don’t require treatment. Your NJ orthopedic doctor may recommend waiting to see if the curve progresses over time with evaluations done every few months.

To decide on the best treatment approach, your scoliosis surgeon considers:

  • Where the curve is
  • How big the curve is
  • The cause of your scoliosis
  • Whether the spine is still growing
  • Noticeable change in the symmetry of your shoulders

In growing children with idiopathic scoliosis, bracing is often the best non-surgical form of treatment to prevent the curve from getting worse. Braces are usually worn between 13 and 16 hours a day and may be discontinued when there are no more changes in height.
