What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a lateral (side-to-side) curvature of the spine that can appear during adolescence or develop later in life. While some cases are mild and require only observation, others can lead to chronic discomfort, reduced mobility, and changes in appearance or posture.

Common Types We Treat:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis – Most common in teens, cause unknown
  • Degenerative scoliosis – Often appears in adults due to disc wear
  • Neuromuscular or congenital scoliosis – Associated with birth defects or muscle disorders

If left untreated, scoliosis can worsen and interfere with daily life—especially in active, working adults and growing children.

Causes and Risk Factors

Though many scoliosis cases have no identifiable cause, certain risk factors increase the likelihood of developing spinal curvature:

  • Family history of scoliosis
  • Growth spurts during adolescence
  • Spinal degeneration due to aging
  • Past injuries or surgeries
  • Conditions like muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy

In a diverse, active borough like Brooklyn, even mild curvature can affect posture, balance, and function—especially for students, workers, and older adults.

Scoliosis Diagnosis in Brooklyn

Diagnosis begins with a comprehensive physical exam and review of symptoms. Your NYSI Brooklyn provider will evaluate your posture, flexibility, and signs of nerve involvement. If needed, you may be referred for imaging to measure the curve (Cobb angle) and assess spinal structure.

Curvature Classification:

  • Mild (10–20°): Often monitored over time
  • Moderate (25–40°): May require physical therapy or bracing
  • Severe (45°+): Often considered for surgical correction

Your Brooklyn scoliosis treatment plan will reflect your age, activity level, curvature type, and personal goals.

Treatment Options for Scoliosis in Brooklyn

At NYSI Brooklyn, we offer personalized scoliosis care focused on long-term function and quality of life. We emphasize conservative management first and collaborate with NYSI surgical centers when operative care is needed.

Non-Surgical Care:

  • Observation & Monitoring: For stable, mild curves
  • Physical Therapy Referrals: Posture retraining, core stabilization, and mobility work
  • Bracing (Adolescents): Helps slow curve progression during growth

Surgical Care (via NYSI Network):

If your curve causes significant symptoms or structural issues, you may be referred for surgery such as:

  • Posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation
  • Corrective surgery for severe or progressive scoliosis
  • Revision procedures for previously treated cases

Your care will remain coordinated through our Brooklyn office, ensuring consistent support before and after surgery.
