Share Your Story

Prior to coming to the Scoliosis Specialty Center, we had received seemingly inconsistent medical advice. Chintan helped us understand the nuance of the information and plan a path forward for our daughter. We have a better understanding of the spectrum of possibilities and additional resources to assist our daughter further. She is clearly focused on the wellbeing of the child and passionate about providing the best possible care by hiring quality staff, staying educated on the latest techniques and working closely with many of the top surgeons.

Jesse Michael Newman

We have seen a significant improvement during the past year that our daughter has been treating with Dr. Chintan Pancholi-Parekh. My daughter’s scoliosis was borderline for surgery, we did not want to go this route. Chintan really connected with our daughter and that has made such a difference. My daughter’s willingness to improve and work towards her weekly goals, is due to that connection. Highly recommend them…..

Vickram Kooblall

My experience with PRNY has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff are very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. I've had a complicated back problem for a couple of years and they were able to quickly determine exactly what was going on and start me on a treatment plan to correct the problem. Thanks to the staff at PRNY I feel like a normal human again! I couldn't recommend a better place to go!

Abraham Thatcher

I have been taking my daughter to PRNY for about a year now and the outcomes have far exceeded my expectations. Not only is the staff super friendly, dedicated and caring, they are very knowledgeable and are up to date with research and current studies. They worked closely with my daughter, educating and facilitating exercises to help with her curve and posture for now and for the future. Not only was she feeling so much better, her curve has significantly decreased! We were lucky to have found this place, especially it being so close to home. I highly recommend PRNY!

Michelle Malki

This clinic treats adults as well as children. I was a patient here several years ago after suffering a lower back injury from a series of chiropractic adjustments. I tried every form of therapy imaginable and could not find any relief for years - most doctors and PTs could not give me an accurate diagnosis and I was at my wit's end before stumbling upon this clinic. Dr. Chintan gave me a free phone consultation and reviewed my x rays and MRIs before I had even scheduled an appointment, and it was clear she is a very knowledgeable and compassionate clinician. I've made substantial progress in my recovery which I would not have believed was possible only 2 years ago. Thank you guys!

Joshua Hu

My son has been going to PRNY for 5 years and they are very caring and knowledgeable. I have only wonderful things to say about the staff and specifically Ms. Becky. The exercises have helped him tremendously and we have received wonderful results from his doctors.

Pamela Barboto

They are all very knowledgeable and caring. My son went to other places, but found this place helped him the best. I hope more and more people with scoliosis will learn the kind of therapy this place provides.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves during a growth spurt in teenagers. It affects around 2-3% of adolescents, typically girls, aged 10-18 and will appear on an xray like a C or S shape. While the cause is unknown, genetics may play a role, and thus can be present in the family history.

Early detection through screenings is crucial, as mild cases may not cause symptoms but can progress over time. Treatment options include observation, physical therapy, bracing, or in severe cases, surgery, aiming to prevent curve progression and maintain spinal alignment for a healthy, active life.
Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, (JIS) is a type of spinal curvature that occurs in children under the age of 10. Unlike adolescent scoliosis, it may not be related to growth spurts. It affects both boys and girls equally and can lead to uneven shoulders, waist, or hips. Early detection is essential as it allows for timely intervention to prevent the curve from worsening. The research and outcomes for JIS are different than AIS. Treatment options may include observation, physical therapy, bracing, or, in severe cases, surgery.
Early Onset Scoliosis, (EOS): Early onset scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways in children under the age of 5. Unlike scoliosis in older children, the cause of early onset scoliosis can be related to congenital spine abnormalities, neuromuscular conditions, or chest wall deformities. This type of scoliosis can affect a child’s breathing and lung development if left untreated. Treatment options may include observation, bracing, growth-friendly surgeries, or a combination of these, aiming to manage the curve and support healthy spine growth as the child grows. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent potential complications and promote better long-term outcomes.
Aging adolescent idiopathic scoliosis occurs when the curvature of the spine, which developed during adolescence, progresses or worsens with age. This type of scoliosis affects individuals who had scoliosis as teenagers, and it may cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty with daily activities as they get older. In contrast, adult degenerative scoliosis develops later in life due to wear and tear on the spine’s discs and joints.
It often leads to spinal curvature and can cause back pain, nerve compression, and changes in posture. Treatment options for both conditions may include physical therapy, pain management, and in severe cases, surgery to stabilize the spine and improve quality of life. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to minimize symptoms and maintain spinal health
Scoliosis-specific exercises provide significant benefits both before and after vertebral body tethering surgery. Prior to surgery, these exercises help strengthen muscles around the spine, improve flexibility, and optimize posture, which can potentially reduce the severity of the curvature and prepare the body for the procedure. Following surgery, scoliosis-specific exercises play a crucial role in promoting healing, restoring mobility, and preventing muscle imbalances or stiffness.
By adhering to a tailored exercise regimen, patients can support the success of the surgery, enhance their recovery process, and maintain optimal spinal function and alignment in the long term, leading to improved overall well-being and quality of life.
Scoliosis-specific exercises offer important benefits both before and after spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. Before surgery, these exercises can help improve flexibility, strength, and posture, which may ease symptoms and prepare the body for the procedure. After surgery, these exercises become even more crucial. They aid in regaining strength, promoting healing, and preventing muscle stiffness or weakness that can occur due to the surgical procedure.
By following a tailored exercise program, patients can enhance their recovery, maintain spinal alignment, and improve overall mobility and function, ultimately supporting their long-term well-being and quality of life.
Pregnancy can pose unique challenges for women with scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves sideways. While many women with scoliosis have healthy pregnancies, the added weight and changes in posture during pregnancy can sometimes exacerbate back pain or discomfort. It’s important for women with scoliosis to communicate with their healthcare providers throughout pregnancy to manage any pain or concerns.
Scoliosis Specific physical therapy, proper posture, and sometimes support devices can help alleviate discomfort and promote a smoother pregnancy experience. With proper care and monitoring, most women with scoliosis can enjoy a healthy happy pregnancy and delivery.
