Scoliosis is the medical term for scoliosis, a condition that is often discovered in childhood or early adolescence. It can be caused by a number of things, including congenital deformities, but often the specific cause is unknown. Heredity may also play a role.
In a patient with scoliosis, the spine will often be s- or c-shaped when viewed from behind, with no real physical pain or discomfort. In many cases, the condition does not require treatment, but in cases of severe misalignment, surgery may be required. Our highly specialized surgeons always perform a thorough examination of your condition to find the most ideal treatment for your specific problem.
