PREMIER SCOLIOSIS TREATMENT CENTER OF RONKONKOMA

In addition, here at the NYSI, we also offer state of the art scoliosis care and treatment plans to all our Ronkonkoma patients who suffer with scoliosis. With millions of people in the United States having been diagnosed with scoliosis, which is a side to side curvature of the spine, contrary to the natural front to back curves, we here at the NYSI give focus to helping to make a difference in the lives of these people. When the curves in the spine are minimal and insignificant, they are less likely to cause problems or complications, but when the curves are drastic and significant they can result in a myriad of health issues that can include fatigue, muscle pain, back pain, spinal arthritis, or even breathing issues.

If you suffer from scoliosis be sure to reach out to the dedicated team of doctors here at the NYSI for information, insight and proper care and treatment.

The care and treatment provided to scoliosis patients will vary from patient to patient and is dependent upon the severity of your spine’s curvature. Severe cases of scoliosis may require our back surgeons or spine doctors to perform surgeries. These dedicated back surgeons have years of experience and commitment at our nationally ranked center, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases.* Many of the renowned surgeons and doctors have given lectures around the world on scoliosis treatments and have authored several publications on the topic as well.
