PLANO, TX, APRIL 9, 2014 – Join Isador Lieberman, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff and the medical director of the Scoliosis and Spine Tumor Center at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano, at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 17 for a discussion on advancements in robotic techniques for the treatment of scoliosis, spine tumors and complex spinal surgery.
“Scoliosis can commonly cause back pain, difficulty breathing, muscle tightness leading to functional limitations and neurological issues such as nerve pain, numbness and weakness,” Lieberman said. “My goal for treating scoliosis or any spinal condition is to provide the most appropriate and innovative care available, whether that be through bracing, medication or advanced surgical correction.”
