Southwest Scoliosis and Spine Institute Team Picture

HURST, TEXAS SCOLIOSIS AND SPINE SPECIALISTS

Hurst sits in the Mid-Cities area between Dallas and Fort Worth, and our Dallas office is the closest of our three locations to Hurst residents — roughly 25 miles east, about 35 to 45 minutes via Highway 183 East and Central Expressway, depending on traffic. For Hurst families dealing with scoliosis or complex spine conditions, that short drive opens access to a level of specialization not available locally in the Mid-Cities.

Expert Spine Care, A Short Drive from Hurst

Most Hurst patients come to our Dallas office at 12222 N Central Expressway, Suite 420. The most direct route from Hurst is Highway 183 East to I-635 North, then south on US-75 to the office. Free patient parking is available in the attached garage.

Patients living in the northern part of Hurst, closer to North Richland Hills, sometimes find our Plano or Frisco offices comparable in drive time. We’re happy to recommend the best location for your situation when you call to schedule.

Pediatric Scoliosis Care for Hurst Families

Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD, like most Texas school districts, conducts routine scoliosis screenings in middle school. Every year, a number of those screenings come back with a referral for further evaluation, and parents are left wondering what to do next.

If your child’s school screening flags a possible curve, you don’t need to wait and see. A proper evaluation by a fellowship-trained pediatric scoliosis specialist tells you within one visit whether the curve is something to monitor, brace, or treat more actively. Most pediatric scoliosis is caught early and managed without surgery — but catching it early matters.

Dr. Richard A. Hostin and Dr. Shyam Kishan lead our pediatric scoliosis program and have evaluated thousands of children, from infants with congenital scoliosis to teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Many of our pediatric patients come from families in the HEB area.

Why Hurst Patients Travel for Spine Care

Scoliosis Specialists Hurst is well-served by general orthopedic surgeons. What it doesn’t have — and what most Mid-Cities suburbs don’t have — is a fellowship-trained scoliosis and complex spine practice.

The distinction matters more than it sounds. General orthopedic surgeons treat fractures, joint replacements, and routine back conditions extremely well. Severe spinal curvature, failed prior spine surgery, and pediatric spinal deformity are separate specialties, requiring additional fellowship training that fewer than a hundred surgeons in the United States hold. All five of our surgeons hold it.

For Hurst patients, the practical effect is that a 35-minute drive replaces months of trying to find the right specialist closer to home.

A Pattern We See in Adults from the Mid-Cities

A common path for Hurst-area patients: an adult in their fifties or sixties who has lived with a moderate scoliosis curve since adolescence finds that the curve has begun progressing, and pain is now interfering with work and sleep. They’ve been to a chiropractor, a pain clinic, and a general orthopedist. They come to us looking for someone who can tell them what’s actually happening to their spine and what to do about it.

Adult scoliosis is treatable at any age. The first step is an accurate diagnosis and an honest conversation about options.
