Comprehensive Scoliosis Care

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition that causes a sideways curvature of the spine. While it can affect people of all ages, it most often begins during the growth spurt just before puberty. Most cases of scoliosis are mild, but some curves worsen as children grow and can become disabling.

Types of Scoliosis

• Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common form, with no clear cause.
• Congenital Scoliosis: Present at birth.
• Degenerative Scoliosis: Occurs in adults due to wear and tear.

Our Treatment Approach

Treatment for scoliosis depends on the severity of the curve and the patient's age. Dr. Behrens provides expert evaluation and a clear path forward, whether through observation, bracing, or advanced surgical correction.
