He has performed over 1200 spine operations. He specializes in the advanced care of scoliosis, spinal deformity, and other complex spine problems in patients of every age, child and adult alike. Too often people are told, "the curve is too large", or "its just too difficult." Our experience means that we see difficult cases every day. You can trust our team with your care or your child's care.

Vertebral Body Tethering involves the concept of bone growth modulation which is based off the Hueter-Volkmann principle, which states that bone under more pressure will grow slower and denser than bone not under stress. The bone on the inside part of the curve will grow slower and denser than the bone on the outer part of the curve, which in turn creates a vertebrae more wedge shaped. While wearing a brace stops the curve from worsening, tethering actually reverses the curve. With Vertebral Body Tethering, loading is applied directly to the spine with a surgical procedure, which creates bone growth modulation and attempts to provide some correction of the spinal curve — if the patient has young with more bone growth in the future. Benefits of vertebral body tethering include less invasive than open scoliosis surgery, less surgical hardware is used, and more motion preservation than rods. The polymer cord continues to straighten the spine as the patient continues to grow. Recovery can be fairly quick with the young patient being released to return to activity and to athletics about a month to six weeks after surgery. Dr. Matthew Geck explains, “The key issue is performing the procedure when the teen is young enough, where they have at least a third of their growth spurt left. For girls that would mean doing the procedure before age 14 or 15, and for boys, before about age 16. Overall, this new scoliosis correction method is less invasive than using rods to de-rotate and straighten the curve. But again, there is a key window of time that we must adhere to.”

Scoliosis Texas offers evidence-based, patient-centric care for conditions and disorders of the spine. Matthew J. Geck MD is a spine and scoliosis surgeon who has focused his practice exclusively on spine and scoliosis surgery. Dr. Geck offers his patients the latest in minimally invasive techniques to address their spinal deformity when surgery is indicated. Scoliosis surgery can provide pain relief, improved breathing (especially for those with lung compression), and enhanced cosmetic appearance (for severe curvatures). Surgical treatment is considered for individuals with severe curves (usually exceeding 45 degrees).

Scoliosis is in most cases a painless condition that can progress unnoticed for years. Ultimately, as the curve worsens, it causes an abnormal curvature in the spine. This will often result in a rotation of the spine and rib cage, which affects the symmetry of the shoulders, trunk and waist. If your child has scoliosis, it is important to seek treatment. Without treatment, scoliosis can progress, causing functional issues and lower quality of life over time. There are different treatment options available, depending on the severity of your child’s scoliosis. Dr. Geck will suggest the best treatment option for your child.

Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal disorder that adversely affects the shape of the spine. A scoliotic spine (when viewed from behind) will not be straight and may instead look like the letter "C" or "S" due to the curvature. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that can be either developmental (children/teenagers) or degenerative (adults). In both scenarios, it represents a mechanical imbalance in the spine that can lead to pain, discomfort, and limitations. We focus exclusively on scoliosis, kyphosis, and other spinal deformities and have seen cases of every kind. Dr. Geck cares for scoliosis at every stage of life, giving him insight into how scoliosis affects patients at every age. That means you receive expert advice and care no matter your age or diagnosis. NOTICE: Our main Austin clinic location has moved to 1004 West 32nd Street.

There are new minimally invasive procedures that are fusionless that can be used to treat patients with progressive scoliosis. Tethering techniques work on one side of the curve to prevent it from worsening. By slowing the anterior growth of the spine, the lateral side can catch up. At the two-year follow-up of patients, 80 percent of the patients had either stabilized or improved. The best outcomes were among children 8 to 11 years old. Vertebral Body Stapling uses a series of staples on one side of the vertebrae to correct scoliosis like braces on teeth. Vertebral Body Tethering uses a cable attached to one side of the vertebrae to correct and then control the curve. A benefit of these fusionless, minimally invasive techniques is that they don’t burn any bridges, and if necessary, more traditional corrective instrumentation can be used later on.

Early detection of scoliosis is crucial. Scoliosis is seen more often in young girls than boys, but it can affect both. It can appear at birth, or later on as the child grows into their teens. Many school programs have a scoliosis screening program with a school nurse who can easily detect scoliosis by having the child bend over and look for a high or uneven shoulder blades. If scoliosis is suspected, the next step is to have an orthopedic surgeon perform X-rays and measure the degree of curve. This will be important to document if the curve is worsening or staying the same. Dr. Matthew Geck is a world renowned specialist in adolescent and adult scoliosis. His practice in Austin is referred patients from across the United States.
