What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a lateral (side-to-side) curvature of the spine, often forming a “C” or “S” shape. While mild curves may not cause symptoms, moderate to severe cases can lead to chronic pain, muscle fatigue, spinal degeneration, and visible changes in posture.

We Treat All Types of Scoliosis in NYC:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis – Most common in adolescents with no known cause
  • Degenerative scoliosis – Appears in adults due to spine wear and tear
  • Neuromuscular and congenital scoliosis – Linked to conditions like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or birth defects

Without treatment, scoliosis can gradually worsen and interfere with breathing, mobility, and quality of life.

Causes and Risk Factors

Scoliosis may develop from several causes—or appear spontaneously. Risk factors include:

  • Family history of scoliosis
  • Rapid adolescent growth spurts
  • Age-related spinal degeneration
  • Injuries, tumors, or spinal surgeries
  • Neuromuscular conditions

In a city as active and fast-paced as New York, even minor curvatures can have a big impact. That’s why early evaluation is critical.

Scoliosis Diagnosis in Midtown Manhattan

At NYSI Manhattan, scoliosis diagnosis begins with a comprehensive physical and neurological exam. We assess your posture, range of motion, and symptoms, then confirm curvature using:

  • X-rays to measure spinal angle (Cobb angle)
  • MRI or CT scans for detailed structural imaging
  • Functional assessments for mobility and muscle function

Curvature Guidelines:

  • 10–20°: Mild scoliosis—often monitored
  • 25–40°: Moderate—may require bracing or PT
  • 45° or more: Severe—surgical correction may be recommended

Your treatment plan reflects not only the degree of curvature, but your age, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Treatment Options for NYC Scoliosis Patients

At NYSI in Manhattan, we offer a full range of scoliosis treatments, customized to each patient’s condition and comfort level.

Observation and Monitoring

For mild, stable curves—especially in children—we recommend regular physical exams and imaging to monitor progression.

Physical Therapy

Our on-site therapists provide posture retraining, core strengthening, and pain management strategies to improve function and prevent worsening.

Bracing

For adolescents with progressive curves, bracing may help slow spinal curvature during growth spurts.

Surgical Treatment

When curves exceed 45–50 degrees or cause significant symptoms, surgery may be the best path. Our orthopedic spine surgeons perform:

  • Posterior spinal fusion
  • Segmental instrumentation with bone grafts
  • Complex scoliosis correction and revision surgery

These procedures are tailored to preserve spinal function and appearance while preventing future complications.
