Degenerative Scoliosis
-
At Comprehensive Prosthetics and Orthotics, we understand the unique challenges of degenerative scoliosis. Degenerative scoliosis is characterized by a sideways curvature of the spine measuring 10 degrees or greater, occurring in adults due to spinal degeneration, also known as spondylosis. While it's challenging to determine the exact prevalence due to many cases being asymptomatic, studies suggest that at least 60% of individuals over the age of 60 have mild degenerative scoliosis.
Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you require conservative management or bracing solutions, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Degenerative Scoliosis Treatment Options
Degenerative scoliosis typically manifests gradually. Early signs often include a dull ache or stiffness in the mid to low back, which may come and go. Nonsurgical treatment options, such as physical therapy, medications, or bracing, are usually effective in managing symptoms. Treatment options at Comprehensive Prosthetics & Orthotics include:
Bracing
A corset brace may be recommended to restrict motion in the back, alleviating stress across the facet joints. While degenerative scoliosis typically does not worsen significantly, bracing aims to relieve pain sufficiently to enable participation in daily activities and physical conditioning.
