Transforming Lives with Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a medical condition where the spine curves sideways, typically in an "S" or "C" shape. While mild scoliosis may not cause significant issues, moderate to severe forms can lead to pain, posture problems, breathing difficulties, and reduced mobility. The condition can appear at any age but is most commonly detected during the growth spurt just before puberty (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis).

Treatment depends on the severity of the curve, age, underlying cause, and progression risk. Mild cases may only need observation, while moderate cases might require bracing. Severe or progressive scoliosis may necessitate surgical correction, typically spinal fusion. Physiotherapy is essential in all stages for posture correction, core strengthening, and improving overall function.
