Scoliosis effects approximately 7 million children in the United States. Historically the surgical treatment of scoliosis has been focused on correcting the curvature and obtaining a solid fusion of the growing spine, thereby halting further progression of the deformity and restoring acceptable spinal alignment.

The traditional surgical approach to scoliosis correction has the disadvantages of rendering large segments of the spine immobile, limiting the functionality of the spine and placing unfused spinal segments at greater risk for premature degeneration. Fusionless treatment is a more ideal option for most children suffering from Scoliosis.

WE SPECIALIZES IN

Dr. Asghar specializes in the treatment of spinal deformity. When surgery is indicated Dr. Asghar provides a diverse range of options from traditional spinal deformity correction and fusion to the more innovative growth modulation (spinal tethering / stapling) and growth preservation (growing rods) techniques.

Each spine, just as each patient, is unique. Therefore, no single treatment method is applicable to all types and severity of spinal deformity. As a result Dr. Asghar is committed to identifying and providing the method of treatment most appropriate for each individual patient.
