What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a spinal disorder characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, often forming an “S” or “C” shape. This condition can develop during adolescence or be present from birth. The severity of the curvature can vary, potentially impacting posture, spinal alignment, and, in severe cases, overall bodily function.

Types of Scoliosis:

  • Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common type, with no known cause, typically developing during adolescence.
  • Congenital Scoliosis: Resulting from spinal deformities present at birth.
  • Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Caused by conditions affecting the nervous system, such as cerebral palsy.
  • Degenerative Scoliosis: Occurring in adults, often due to age-related spinal changes.

Symptoms of Scoliosis

The symptoms of scoliosis can vary depending on the severity of the curvature and may include:

  • Uneven Shoulders: One shoulder may be higher or lower than the other.
  • Asymmetrical Waist: One side of the waist may appear higher or more prominent.
  • Rib Hump: A noticeable bulge on one side of the back when bending forward.
  • Back Pain: Discomfort or pain, especially in severe cases.
  • Postural Changes: Noticeable changes in posture or spinal alignment.

Diagnosis of Scoliosis

To accurately diagnose scoliosis, our specialists use a range of diagnostic tools:

  • Physical Examination: Assessing the spine for curvature and alignment issues.
  • X-Rays: To determine the degree of spinal curvature and identify any underlying issues.
  • MRI or CT Scans: Additional imaging may be used to evaluate the spine in more detail.

    • Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve posture, flexibility, and strength.
