Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that can develop at various stages of life — from birth to adolescence or even later in adulthood as the spine naturally changes.

Why Choose Sutter?

We’re proud to offer one of the nation’s leading scoliosis diagnostic and treatment centers right here in Sacramento. Early detection can make treatment much more effective, helping you stay ahead of any challenges scoliosis may bring. After diagnosing your scoliosis, your specialist creates a personalized treatment plan that considers your age, health and the severity of the curvature.

Our minimally invasive procedures help reduce scarring, tissue damage and recovery time. While only some people are candidates for this approach, we carefully evaluate each person to determine the best option for them. For children, we partner with the Sutter Neuroscience Institute and Sutter Children’s Center to ensure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their treatment.
