Curvature of the spine, called scoliosis, is more than a cosmetic problem, although it can affect your self-esteem. Scoliosis is a painful back condition for both children and adults that, without proper intervention by New Jersey’s top spine doctors, can lead to worsening curvature and continued, debilitating pain. At the first sign of a curve in your child’s spine, in your own back or in any other family member, call the experts at Premier Brain & Spine, with convenient locations in Edison, Hackensack, Union, Rutherford, Paterson, Bayonne, West Orange, and West Caldwell, New Jersey and in Goshen, NY.
WHAT IS SCOLIOSIS?
When you have an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that sort of looks like the letter C or the letter S, you likely have scoliosis. This condition is often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, but in some people, it’s not apparent until adulthood. Sometimes, a spinal curve that started in the teen years worsens in adulthood. As many as two to three percent of the population in the United States have scoliosis.
A scoliosis specialist is the best medical professional to consult if you think you may have scoliosis or any other type of abnormality in the spine. Doctors at Premier Brain & Spine’s advanced spine surgery center are New Jersey’s top spine specialists.
