Learning about Degenerative Scoliosis with Dr. Anders Cohen

A big percentage of the population today continues to suffer from cervical and lumbar problems, sometimes some of which can be a symptom of degenerative scoliosis. Dr. Anders Cohen has been specially trained and is certified in different methods of treating a patient with degenerative scoliosis.

Degenerative scoliosis is a similar disease to its counterpart, which is idiopathic scoliosis. However, the differences between the two conditions lie in their locations and symptoms. Idiopathic scoliosis is focused mainly on the mid-back or the thoracic spine, while degenerative scoliosis focuses on the lower back or the lumbar spine. Degenerative scoliosis is also connected to the malformation of the spine, causing a physical deformity that may affect a patient’s daily life.

Dr. Anders Cohen has treated many patients with this condition for the past ten years since he first started as a spinal surgery specialist. With his knowledge and experience, he is able to offer some of the best conservative treatments, as well as non-traditional surgical procedures such as spinal fusion and decompression.
