What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a side-to-side curve of the spine that can appear during adolescence or develop gradually in adulthood. While some cases remain mild, others can progress and cause pain, uneven posture, or difficulty with daily movement.

Common Types We Treat:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis – Common in teens; cause often unknown

  • Degenerative scoliosis – Develops later in life due to spinal wear and tear

  • Neuromuscular or congenital scoliosis – Linked to muscular or developmental conditions

Early diagnosis is key to managing progression and preventing long-term impact on mobility and quality of life.

Causes and Risk Factors

While many cases have no clear cause, scoliosis is more likely in individuals who have:

  • A family history of scoliosis
  • Experienced growth spurts during puberty
  • Spinal arthritis or disc degeneration in adulthood
  • History of spinal trauma or surgery
  • Neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy

In an active borough like the Bronx, untreated scoliosis can interfere with work, school, or even walking and balance.
