Conditions We Treat

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a sideways curve in the spine most often seen as a child gets closer to the teenage years. In a mild case, one shoulder might seem higher than the other or the waist might be tilted. If that's the case, the child will be monitored and treatment may not be needed. Severe cases may have a twist in the spine as well as a curve, which can cause back pain and breathing problems. Scoliosis appears to be hereditary (runs in the family), or caused by diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and infections/injury of the spine.

Spinal Fractures

Spinal fractures can vary widely in severity. While some fractures are very serious injuries that require emergency treatment, other fractures can be the result of bones weakened by osteoporosis. Most spinal fractures occur in the thoracic (mid-back) and lumbar spine (lower back) or at the connection of the two (the "thoracolumbar junction"). Fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine may result from high-energy trauma, such as: a car or motorcycle crash; a fall from height; a sports accident; or a violent act, such as a gunshot wound.
