What Is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that may develop in a single curve (“C”) or a double curve (“S”). It can range from mild to severe and is most commonly diagnosed during adolescence, but it can also arise in adulthood due to degenerative spine conditions.

Types of Scoliosis We Treat in New Jersey:

Idiopathic scoliosis: Often diagnosed in teens with no known cause
Degenerative scoliosis: Typically seen in older adults due to spinal wear and tear
Neuromuscular scoliosis: Linked to underlying conditions like muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy
Congenital scoliosis: Present at birth due to vertebral malformation

Without proper care, scoliosis can progress and cause back pain, stiffness, mobility limitations, or even lung function issues in severe cases.

Common Risk Factors

While scoliosis can appear without warning, some people are more likely to develop it due to:

A family history of scoliosis
Growth spurts during adolescence
Spinal degeneration or arthritis in adulthood
Previous spinal trauma or surgery
Neurological or muscular disorders

Our Wayne-based specialists encourage early screening to reduce the risk of curve progression and related complications.

Diagnosing Scoliosis at NYSI Wayne

Your scoliosis evaluation starts with a comprehensive physical exam, postural analysis, and neurological screening. We use advanced imaging to assess curve severity and spinal alignment.

Diagnostic Tools:

X-rays to measure curvature angle (Cobb angle)
MRI or CT scans to visualize spinal structures and rule out other conditions
Functional assessments to evaluate flexibility, balance, and core strength

Severity Guide:

Mild (10°–20°): Typically monitored with periodic exams
Moderate (25°–40°): May require bracing or physical therapy
Severe (45°+): Surgical intervention may be considered

Tailored Scoliosis Treatment in Wayne

At NYSI Wayne, we develop custom care plans based on each patient’s age, symptoms, spinal curvature, and lifestyle. We always aim to treat scoliosis conservatively before considering surgery.

Observation

For mild cases, especially in children, we monitor the spine regularly to watch for changes during growth.

Physical Therapy

Our team offers customized scoliosis-specific therapy to improve core strength, posture, and spinal stability.

Bracing

Adolescents with moderate and progressing curves may benefit from custom bracing to prevent further curvature.

Surgical Treatment

When nonsurgical treatments aren’t enough—or curves are severe—our surgeons may recommend:

Posterior spinal fusion
Segmental instrumentation with bone grafting
Complex or revision scoliosis surgery

Surgical goals include stabilizing the spine, improving alignment, and relieving nerve-related symptoms.
