Learn About Spondylocarpotarsal Synostosis Syndrome

What is the definition of Spondylocarpotarsal Synostosis Syndrome?
Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis (SCT) syndrome is an inherited syndrome characterized by disproportionate short stature, abnormalities of the vertebrae in the spine, scoliosis and lordosis, carpal and tarsal fusion (fusion of the bones in the hands and feet), clubfoot, and facial abnormalities such as round face, large forehead, and up-turned nostrils. Other features can include cleft palate, deafness, loose joints, and poor formation of tooth enamel. SCT syndrome has been associated with retinal anomalies and cataracts. However, these eye problems are usually not severe enough to impair vision. This condition is caused by genetic changes in the FLNB gene. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner in families, which means that parents are usually unaffected and children have to have inherited a genetic change from each parent.

My goal is to help individuals improve their quality of life by helping them regain function and decrease pain through non-surgical management of spine and musculoskeletal disorders. My practice focuses on optimizing exercise and physical therapy, spinal and joint injections, and medication management as well as electrodiagnostic medicine to diagnose and treat painful and debilitating conditions of muscles, joints, and nerves. Whether the patient wants to get back into sports or exercise--or just wants to be able to take a walk or make a meal with less discomfort, I will work with them to develop a treatment plan to help them reach those goals.
