Spinal Deformity
Our surgeons specialize in pediatric and adult spinal deformity and approach treatment with a focus on the age of the patient. In adults, in particular, they proceed with caution, exhausting all non-surgical therapeutic options and ensuring the benefits of surgery outweigh the risks before proceeding to a surgical option. The program’s adult high-risk spine protocol puts this approach into action, addressing such things as nutrition, smoking cessation, medical status, general conditioning, mental health and medication optimization.
