Scoliosis and Spine
Diagnosis
and treatment of spine disorders are important for individuals of
all ages: children, adolescents, adults and senior citizens.
There are many reasons why someone should see a spine physician.
Among the most common are:
Back pain
Spondylolysis and spondylolithesis
Ruptured or herniated intervertebral discs
Curvature of the spine (Scoliosis)
Osteoporosis
Treatment of the spine is individualized based upon the diagnostic condition, age, and lifestyle of the patient. Greater Metropolitan Orthopaedics devotes a large part of its resources to the rehabilitation of the spine. Under the guidance of specially trained physicians and physical therapists, many different nonoperative modalities are utilized to relieve patients of their discomfort before even considering surgery.
