National Scoliosis Center Information

Our team at the National Scoliosis Center takes a holistic approach to treating scoliosis and other spinal disorders—providing custom braces (TLSOs), low-dose EOS X-ray imaging, and collaboration with area Schroth physical therapists (specialized physical therapy for scoliosis patients) and caring for each patient's overall well-being. Everyone that works in our office has somehow been touched by scoliosis either directly or personally and we understand the challenges that go along with it. Our mission is to provide the best non-operative, evidence-based care to patients diagnosed with scoliosis by helping them progress to maturity without needing surgery. We collaborate with each patient's physician (primarily pediatricians and/or orthopedists) and their family in developing and implementing a complete treatment plan. When working with physicians, we try and accommodate same-day-appointments where possible—meaning, we try and see patients immediately following an orthopedic check-in so that adjustments, and or new custom braces can be created promptly, efficiently and, most importantly, effectively. At the National Scoliosis Center, we pride our work on evidence-based medicine, innovation and our constant involvement in continued education, global research societies and clinical research. We are actively involved in in the Scoliosis Research Society, Society for Scoliosis and Orthopeadic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) and the National Scoliosis Foundation. Luke Stikeleather, Certified Orthotist is the founder of NSC and has spent decades working with scoliosis patients. He introduced the Rigo Cheneau style of bracing to North America. Patients come from all over the world to receive scoliosis care and treatment from Luke. We have offices in Fairax, Virginia, Baltimore, MD and Houston, TX.
