Understanding Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine, often shaped like an "S" or "C." While mild cases may cause no symptoms, moderate to severe scoliosis can result in:

  • Back or neck pain
  • Muscle fatigue or imbalance
  • Noticeable spinal asymmetry or uneven shoulders
  • Limited mobility
  • Breathing issues (in severe cases)

Early diagnosis and appropriate care are key to preventing complications and improving function.

Types of Scoliosis We Treat in Queens:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis – Common in adolescents, with no known cause
  • Degenerative scoliosis – Typically appears in adults due to age-related changes
  • Congenital or neuromuscular scoliosis – Related to birth defects or neurological conditions like cerebral palsy

What Causes Scoliosis?

Scoliosis can result from a variety of factors—or none at all. Risk factors include:

  • Family history of scoliosis
  • Rapid growth during adolescence
  • Spinal degeneration with age
  • Injury or spinal surgery
  • Neuromuscular disorders

In a vibrant, diverse borough like Queens, we understand how scoliosis can impact both physical activity and quality of life. That’s why we offer proactive care at every stage.

Diagnosing Scoliosis in Kew Gardens

At NYSI Queens, we use a multi-step evaluation to confirm and monitor scoliosis progression. Your visit may include:

  • Postural and neurological exams
  • X-rays to measure the curve (Cobb angle)
  • MRI or CT scans for detailed spine imaging
  • Functional movement assessments

    Curve Severity Guidelines:

    • Mild (10°–20°): Often monitored
    • Moderate (25°–40°): May require bracing or PT
    • Severe (45°+): Surgical correction may be recommended

    Treatment Options at NYSI Queens

    Our board-certified scoliosis specialists provide a full range of services in one convenient Queens location:

    Observation and Monitoring

    Mild, non-progressive curves may only require periodic checkups and imaging to track changes.

    Physical Therapy

    Our on-site physical therapists offer scoliosis-specific programs to improve posture, core strength, and movement mechanics.

    Bracing

    For adolescents with progressive scoliosis, we may recommend bracing to prevent curve worsening during growth.

    Surgical Treatment

    Surgery may be necessary for severe or symptomatic cases. Our spine surgeons perform:

    • Posterior spinal fusion
    • Segmental instrumentation with bone grafts
    • Complex scoliosis correction or revision procedures

    We use advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques whenever appropriate to ensure safety and recovery.
