What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is an abnormal bending and twisting curvature of the spine that can occur during adolescence or adulthood. Unlike small curves that can sometimes be monitored, curves over 40 degrees often progress and may require surgical intervention. Left untreated, significant scoliosis can impact posture, lung function, and overall quality of life.
Dr. Siddiqui and his team specialize in the most advanced surgical techniques available, offering patients safe, effective, and lasting correction.
Teen Scoliosis
Scoliosis is most often diagnosed during the teenage years, when growth spurts can cause the curve to progress rapidly. In many cases, these curves can become severe enough to affect spinal balance and daily activity.
At our institute, we focus on surgical treatment for teenagers with scoliosis curves that require surgery. Some milder curves can be managed with physical therapy, bracing, and serial observation but may later require surgery.
Our goal is to restore spinal alignment and function so that teenagers can move into adulthood with confidence, mobility, and long-term spinal health.
Adult Scoliosis
Scoliosis is not limited to adolescence. Adults may develop scoliosis for two main reasons:
- Progression of untreated childhood scoliosis
- Degenerative scoliosis, caused by age-related changes in the spine
Adult patients often face additional challenges, as spinal deformities can contribute to loss of balance and physical limitations. For these patients, Dr. Siddiqui offers complex reconstructive procedures that restore stability and alignment.
By focusing solely on surgical correction, Dr. Siddiqui and his team provide tailored solutions for each patient’s condition, ensuring every scoliosis surgery is performed with precision and expertise.

Who Should Consider Surgery?
When scoliosis begins to interfere with posture, alignment, or daily function, surgery may be the best solution. Dr. Siddiqui evaluates each case individually, but candidates for surgical consultation often include:
- Teenagers and adults with progressing curves greater than 40 degrees.
- Individuals with worsening deformity, whether from degenerative causes or untreated adolescent-onset scoliosis.
- Individuals seeking a definitive, surgical solution, not temporary or conservative management.
If you or a loved one fits these criteria, scheduling a consultation with Dr. Siddiqui is a crucial next step.
