Dr. Michael G. Vitale-
Dr. Michael G. Vitale specializes in the non-operative and operative treatment of complex pediatric scoliosis and other spinal disorders
More Info on Dr. Vitale www.pediatricscoliosissurgery.com "I feel very fortunate to have such a range of expertise in our Center for Conservative Care for Scoliosis here at Morgan Stanley Childrens Hospital at the Columbia University Medical Center. Working with such a passionate and skilled group of physical therapists has taught me so much about the complexities in nonoperative treatment of children with scoliosis. Our weekly meetings are a think tank where we explore issues ranging from best in class, “smart-braces” which respect 3 dimensional anatomy, to ways to foster patients’ compliance with scoliosis specific physical therapy. This collaboration has resulted in a robust research program, including efforts to develop a best practice guideline for conservative care of adolescent scoliosis. This is really how multidisciplinary, family centric care should be." |
