Firstly, adult Scoliosis is a curve of the spine. In most patients, no surgery is needed; however, in patients who have an excessive curve and it compromises breathing or walking, surgery can help correct those complications. Also, adult Scoliosis can vary from a minor problem, where it just needs to be watched, to chronic pain and a severe deformity.
PEDIATRIC SCOLIOSIS Treatment for residents of
Irving TX
More often than not, children with scoliosis can be treated with a brace, but in cases where patients experience an increase in curvature and are in pain, surgery may be needed. For reasons unknown, girls are more prone to scoliosis in adolescence than boys.
CONGENITAL SCOLIOSIS Treatment for residents of
Irving TX
Unfortunately, congenital scoliosis, a spinal deformity, caused by a birth defect, produces a sideways curvature of the spine. For example, the spine may rotate or twist, pulling the ribs along with it to form a curve, often causing a hump.
IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS Treatment for residents of
Irving TX
In as much as approximately 90 percent of scoliosis cases are idiopathic, making it the most common type. Additionally, the term means that doctors can’t pinpoint the cause of the spinal curvature.
DEGENERATIVE SCOLIOSIS TREATMENT for residents of Irving TX
Degenerative scoliosis describes a sideways curvature of the spine that results from the degeneration of the joints and discs in the spine. Also, this condition and the resulting problems of the spine usually occur gradually as a person ages.
Basically, lumbar scoliosis refers to a sideways curve in the lower (or lumbar) portion of the spine. For instance, this spinal condition occurs in infants, adolescents, and older adults.
FOR Irving TX RESIDENTS
Altogether, thoracic scoliosis refers to an abnormal sideways curve located in the middle (or thoracic) portion of the spine. Consequently, this is the most common location for scoliosis curves, and the first sign many patients notice is an asymmetry of the chest, rib cage, and shoulder blades.
THE RESIDENTS OF Irving TX
Because scoliosis is one of our specialities, we are a member of the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS). Furthermore, this society is an international society that was founded in 1966 with 35 members. Since then and over time, it has gained recognition as one of the world’s premier spine societies. Overall, the SRS has maintained a commitment to research and education in the field of spinal deformities.
for residents of Irving TX
Similarly, neuromuscular Scoliosis is a spinal curvature that occurs in children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and spina bifida. For example, these types of disorders can prevent the spine from being properly supported by the muscles. Subsequently, these conditions lead to scoliosis and other abnormal curvatures of the spine.

LUMBAR DISC HERNIATION TREATMENT FOR RESIDENTS OF
Irving TX
While a herniated disc (commonly referred to as a “slipped disc”) can happen anywhere along the spine, most cases occur in the lumbar (lower back) section. Moreover, it is sometimes referred to as a bulging, or ruptured disc. Also, it’s one of the most common causes of back pain.

SPONDYLOLISTHESIS TREATMENT FOR RESIDENTS OF

Accordingly, spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one of the bones of the spine (vertebrae) slips out of place onto the vertebra below it. If it slips too much, the bone might press on a nerve, causing pain. Finally, spondylolisthesis usually affects the bones of the lower back (lumbar spine).
