FINDING THE RIGHT DOCTOR FOR ADULT SCOLIOSIS

WHAT IS ADULT SCOLIOSIS

Adult scoliosis develops later in life and can cause pain, stiffness, and posture changes. Early recognition helps guide treatment.

KEY SYMPTOMS TO WATCH

Common signs include back pain, uneven shoulders, visible curve, height loss, and fatigue. These symptoms mean it is time for a medical check.

SEEING AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON

Orthopedic surgeons diagnose and manage adult scoliosis. They offer scans, treatment plans, and surgical options when needed.

SPINE SPECIALISTS FOR COMPLEX CASES

Spine specialists provide advanced imaging and updated treatments. They focus only on spinal conditions and offer precise care.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

WHEN TO SEE A NEUROLOGIST

Neurologists help when scoliosis causes numbness, leg weakness, or nerve pain. They run EMG and nerve tests for deeper evaluation.

NON SURGICAL CARE OPTIONS

Physical therapy, exercises, pain management, and posture training can ease symptoms and improve mobility without surgery.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

Doctors use X rays, CT scans, and MRI to assess curve severity. These tests help build a personalized treatment plan.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DOCTOR

Look for specialists with scoliosis experience. Ask about treatment options, follow up plans, and imaging reviews.
