SCOLIOSIS TREATMENT
At MVM Health, we focus on managing scoliosis at its source—not just addressing the visible curve. Our goal is to reduce discomfort, improve spinal alignment, and help you live a healthier, more active life.
Find Effective Management for Scoliosis
The spine is a complex structure of vertebrae, discs, and joints that provides essential support and mobility for the entire body. An abnormal sideways curvature, known as scoliosis, can disrupt this balance, leading to pain, postural issues, and a significantly reduced quality of life if not properly managed.
Understanding the precise nature and severity of your spinal curve is the first step toward effective treatment. At MVM Health, our specialists are dedicated to diagnosing the root of your condition, whether it’s developmental, degenerative, or neuromuscular, and creating a personalized care plan to improve your alignment and function.
MVM Health offers a range of innovative, non-surgical treatments designed to manage your curve, alleviate discomfort, and help you live more comfortably. If you are ready for a lasting solution to manage your scoliosis, contact our team today to schedule an initial consultation and begin your path to lasting relief.
Understanding the Causes of Scoliosis
Although scoliosis is often seen as a simple postural issue, significant spinal curves typically stem from developmental or degenerative changes within the spine itself.
Common signs and symptoms associated with scoliosis include:
- A visible “S” or “C” shaped curve in the back
- A tendency to lean to one side
- Back pain and stiffness, particularly in adults
- Uneven shoulders or waistline
- One shoulder blade that appears more prominent than the other
- One hip appearing higher than the other

What Interventional Pain Management Options Are Available for Scoliosis?
While interventional pain management does not straighten the spine, it can greatly reduce the associated discomfort and enhance your daily quality of life. At MVM Health, your care begins with a thorough consultation, where our specialists carefully evaluate the source of your scoliosis-related pain and design a personalized treatment plan aimed at long-term relief. Depending on your unique needs, your plan may include one or more of the following minimally invasive therapies:
- Epidural Steroid Injections (Lumbar or Thoracic)
- Facet Joint Injections
- Radiofrequency Ablation
- Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Injections
- Trigger Point Injections
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
- Medial Branch Blocks
Harnessing Regenerative Medicine for Scoliosis Recovery
At MVM Health, we complement our advanced interventional treatments with the power of state-of-the-art regenerative therapies, including PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cell therapy, and amniotic fluid injections. These innovative biologic treatments use concentrated growth factors to accelerate your body’s innate healing capabilities, specifically targeting the painful degenerative changes in facet joints and discs that often accompany scoliosis.
Your journey with regenerative medicine begins with a personal consultation. Our specialists will walk you through each option, helping you determine which therapy best aligns with your specific condition and goals. These treatments can be seamlessly integrated with an ongoing interventional pain management plan or initiated as a next step in your recovery process.
Diagnosing Post-Surgical Pain in Scoliosis Patients at MVM Health
Persistent pain after scoliosis surgery can be frustrating and disruptive to daily life. At MVM Health, our specialists take a thorough and systematic approach to identify the underlying cause of post-surgical discomfort. Using advanced diagnostic tools—such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and nerve studies—we carefully evaluate your spine and surrounding structures to pinpoint the source of pain. By understanding the specific reasons behind your post-operative spinal issues, we can develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at reducing pain, restoring function, and improving your overall quality of life.
A Collaborative Approach to Post-Surgical Scoliosis Relief
The road to recovery after scoliosis surgery can present its own challenges, particularly if you experience persistent pain or issues with spinal balance. At MVM Health, our philosophy is built on a foundation of personalized care. We begin by thoroughly investigating the specific causes behind your post-operative symptoms, ensuring we understand your individual condition completely. Leveraging cutting-edge diagnostics and deep clinical experience, our specialists collaborate with you to develop a recovery roadmap that is uniquely yours.

FAQ
What is the best treatment for scoliosis?
The best treatment is a personalized plan based on the curve’s severity and the patient’s age. It may include clinical observation, physical therapy, specialized bracing, or minimally invasive surgical correction to stabilize the spine.
What are the best non-surgical treatments for Scoliosis?
Non-surgical options focus on managing symptoms and preventing progression. These include physical therapy to strengthen core muscles, posture training, and interventional pain management like epidural steroid injections or nerve blocks for associated discomfort.
What are the primary causes of scoliosis?
Most cases are idiopathic, meaning the cause is unknown. Other causes include congenital abnormalities present at birth, neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy, and degenerative changes in the spinal joints and discs in adults.
What is adult scoliosis treatment?
Adult treatment primarily focuses on relieving chronic pain and improving function. Specialists utilize physical therapy, weight management, and interventional procedures like radiofrequency ablation. Surgery is considered if conservative methods fail to provide relief.
Can scoliosis be treated in adults?
Yes, adults can manage scoliosis through non-operative care aimed at pain relief and stability. Advanced therapies like regenerative medicine or decompression surgery can address nerve-related symptoms caused by age-related spinal degeneration.
What happens if scoliosis is left untreated in adults?
Untreated adult scoliosis can lead to progressive spinal deformity, chronic back pain, and nerve compression. In severe cases, it may cause difficulty walking, reduced lung capacity, and significant limitations in daily physical activities.
How is scoliosis diagnosed by specialists?
Specialists diagnose scoliosis through physical evaluations like the Adam’s forward bend test. They also use advanced imaging, such as upright X-rays or EOS scans, to precisely measure the Cobb angle and spinal curvature.
What are the symptoms of adult scoliosis?
Common symptoms include persistent back pain, stiffness, and visible asymmetry, such as uneven shoulders or hips. Some adults experience leg numbness or weakness if the curvature causes narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis).
Does bracing work for adults with scoliosis?
While bracing is primarily used to stop curve progression in growing children, it can be used in adults for short-term pain relief and support. It helps stabilize the spine during strenuous physical activities.
When is surgery necessary for scoliosis?
Surgery is typically recommended for curves exceeding 50 degrees or if the curvature progresses rapidly. It may also be necessary if severe pain, neurological deficits, or breathing difficulties significantly impact the patient’s quality of life.
