Scoliosis & Spinal Deformity Correction

What is Scoliosis and spinal deformity correction?

Scoliosis & Spinal Deformity Correction is a condition in which the spine curves sideways, forming an “S” or “C” shape. While it is commonly diagnosed during adolescence, scoliosis can affect people of all ages, from children to adults. Spinal deformities, on the other hand, encompass a variety of issues related to spine alignment, such as kyphosis (excessive forward curvature) and lordosis (excessive inward curvature). These conditions can cause discomfort, affect posture, and, in severe cases, lead to pain or respiratory problems.

Types of Scoliosis

  • Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common type, often developing during adolescence, with no known cause.
  • Congenital Scoliosis: A condition present from birth due to abnormal spinal formation.
  • Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Often caused by neurological or muscular conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
  • Degenerative Scoliosis: Occurs in adults as a result of aging or wear and tear on the spine, leading to misalignment.

Symptoms of Scoliosis & Spinal Deformities

While symptoms can vary, common signs of scoliosis and other spinal deformities include:

  • Uneven shoulders or hips
  • A noticeable curve in the spine
  • Back pain or discomfort
  • Difficulty standing or walking straight
  • Fatigue from abnormal posture
    If you or a loved one notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek evaluation and treatment to avoid worsening the condition.

How Scoliosis is Diagnosed

Diagnostic methods include

Physical Examination

A detailed assessment of your spine, posture, and overall alignment.

X-rays

These provide a clear image of the spine, allowing the degree of curvature to be measured.

MRI or CT scans

Used to examine spinal cord or nerve involvement in more severe cases.

Treatment Options for Scoliosis & Spinal Deformities

Shape

Non-Surgical Treatments

Bracing

For adolescents with moderate scoliosis, wearing a brace can help control the curve and prevent further progression.

Physical Therapy

Specific exercises help strengthen the muscles around the spine and improve posture.

Surgical Treatment Options

Spinal Fusion Surgery

This is the most common surgery for scoliosis, where the curved parts of the spine are fused together using metal rods, screws, and bone grafts to straighten the spine.

Growing Rods

For children with scoliosis, growing rods are surgically inserted into the spine. These rods can be adjusted as the child grows, allowing the spine to grow normally.

Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT)

A newer, minimally invasive procedure that uses a flexible cord to help straighten the spine over time while allowing for normal spinal growth.
