Accessing non-surgical treatment for scoliosis in Jacksonville has never been easier with the help of Dr. Tony Nalda at the Scoliosis Reduction Center.

The minimum degree for scoliosis to be diagnosed is 10 degrees. This is considered mild, and patients have many non-surgical treatment options available.

A 20-degree curve is considered mild scoliosis. Different steps can be taken to manage the curve and prevent its progression depending on the degree of scoliosis.

There are different degrees of scoliosis, depending of the degrees of curvature we will classify the severity of scoliosis. A 15 degree curve is considered as mild.

The spine is naturally curved to help the body manage stress and gravity over time. However, since not all spinal curves are normal, knowing what these are is of importance.

All surgeries involve a recovery time. For scoliosis surgery, the recovery aspect will be individual to each patient’s case, degree of progression, and location of their curve.

The spine has normal curvatures. Some of those curves are referred to as lordosis. However, when over-pronounced or under-pronounced, lordosis is not considered normal.

The connection between scoliosis and the nerves of the spine is a close one. As patients develop their scoliosis, it can impact surrounding nerves and end up hurting the spine.

Sciatica is not always accompanied by scoliosis, but it can be when a patient’s scoliosis is located in the lumbar spine as a result of the sciatic nerve being impinged.
