Specialized care for spinal deformities
The Atlantic Health Scoliosis and Spinal Deformity Center treats children and adults with all forms of scoliosis, including those that are idiopathic or of unknown causes, as well as those that are the result of syndromes, congenital birth defects and neuromuscular diseases. We also provide treatment for spinal deformities, like kyphosis (hunched back), coronal imbalance, sagittal imbalance and spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebrae).
