Scoliosis and Pediatric Spine Center
Scoliosis and other spine disorders in children such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, torticollis can be idiopathic (of unknown origin), congenital (present at birth) or neuromuscular (related to nerves and muscles). Children with back pain or posture issues should see a pediatric spine specialist as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and intervention, like bracing and corrective exercises, can prevent the need for surgery in the future.
HSS is recognized as a world leader in the management of complex spinal deformities in both children and adults. Our pediatric specialists use state-of-the-art technology to assess spine disorders, including low-radiation X-ray (EOS) machines and cameras that can capture range of motion.
