What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that may form a “C” or “S” shape. It can range from mild to severe, often appearing during childhood growth spurts or developing later in life due to degeneration or other health conditions.

Types of Scoliosis We Treat on Long Island:

Idiopathic scoliosis – Most common in teens, cause unknown
Degenerative scoliosis – Age-related spinal changes in adults
Neuromuscular scoliosis – Linked to conditions like cerebrzal palsy or muscular dystrophy
Congenital scoliosis – Caused by spine malformation at birth

If untreated, scoliosis can progress—leading to chronic pain, spinal stiffness, limited mobility, or even respiratory issues.

Risk Factors and Causes

While scoliosis can occur spontaneously, some individuals are more prone to developing spinal curves due to:

Family history of scoliosis
Rapid growth during adolescence
Degenerative disc disease or arthritis
Prior spine trauma, surgery, or tumors
Neurological or muscular disorders

Our Commack-based specialists encourage early evaluation to reduce the risk of progression and long-term disability.

How We Diagnose Scoliosis at NYSI Commack

Our scoliosis assessment begins with a comprehensive physical exam, posture evaluation, and neurological check. We confirm the curvature using advanced, in-office imaging:

X-rays to measure the spinal curve (Cobb angle)
MRI/CT scans for a detailed view of spinal structures
Functional assessments to evaluate range of motion and core strength

Spinal Curvature Severity:

10°–20°: Mild scoliosis—typically monitored
25°–40°: Moderate—may benefit from PT or bracing
45° or more: Severe—may require surgical correction

At NYSI Commack, scoliosis treatment is tailored to your age, curve progression, symptoms, and lifestyle. Our goal is always to minimize the need for surgery through early, proactive care.

Observation

For mild scoliosis, especially in children, we recommend routine monitoring with periodic X-rays and physical exams to track changes.

Physical Therapy

Our on-site therapists specialize in scoliosis-specific exercises that improve posture, core strength, and spinal stability.

Bracing

Custom bracing may be recommended for adolescents with progressing curves—especially during rapid growth phases.
