North Jersey Spine Group is the recognized choice for referring physicians and patients in need of treatment for adult scoliosis within Sparta, New Jersey and the surrounding area. Affecting 25-68% of the United States population, scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, often resulting in an S-shape or C-shape formation. In many cases, patients do not experience symptoms. Consequently, the diagnosis remains unknown for years until it becomes symptomatic because of aging, gravity or injury. As the spine curve gradually becomes greater than thirty to forty degrees, patients begin to notice persistent back pain.
In addition to misshapen spine alignment, the facet joints become distorted from wear and tear plus arthritis of the vertebral bones called spondylosis. This process exacerbates preexisting scoliosis leading to – uneven shoulders or hips, trouble standing up straight, difficulty walking, and numbness or pain in the legs. Patients in Franklin, NJ and the surround area often call Centers for Neurosurgery, Spine, and Orthopedics with complaints of back pain, muscle fatigue and spasms as the condition progresses.

Patients living in Franklin, New Jersey have spine experts they can trust to treat mild to severe cases of adult scoliosis.

Centers for Neurosurgery, Spine, and Orthopedics’s Comprehensive Solution to Adult Scoliosis
In most cases, adult scoliosis does not require corrective surgery. Our award-winning doctors use conservative treatments that produce long-lasting relief from the symptoms of scoliosis. These techniques include physical therapy and skeletal stabilization exercises, postural training, pain management techniques, trigger point injections for muscle spasms, and weight loss. When a patient’s symptoms fail to improve with nonsurgical treatments, or if the scoliosis is too severe for “conservative only” care, our elite team of board-certified neurosurgeons offers spine deformity correction surgery. Surgery will only be recommended if they believe it will resolve the severe pain and disability to manage daily tasks or sports activity.
