We’ve Got Your Back Newsletter
Welcome to The Virginia Spine Institute (VSI) newsletter! As the premier center of excellence for spinal health care in the DC Metropolitan area, we are committed to patient education and wellness. Through this newsletter we hope to provide you with useful information and keep you up-to-date on advancements in the field of spinal health care. In this issue our feature article discusses idiopathic scoliosis and the various treatment options available. Early detection is important and can prevent scoliosis from progressing. The physicians at The Virginia Spine Institute are proud to be involved in ongoing research efforts to develop genetic testing for scoliosis. The test will allow specialists to better predict an individual’s risk for developing this progressive curve of the spine. In the future, genetic testing will allow physicians to offer earlier and safer treatments to their patients. We hope to provide you with a resource to learn more about this condition.
