Scoliosis is a condition that affects the curvature of the spine, and if left untreated, it can cause a range of symptoms and complications. However, with the right treatment approach, patients can manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Scoliosis causes an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can be either “C” shaped or “S” shaped.
The causes of scoliosis are not always clear, but some common factors include:
But it’s not just any curve. In scoliosis, the spine twists and turns in three dimensions. This means it’s not just a curve to the side, but the spine also rotates.
Scoliosis treatment for adults is different from treatment for children. In adults, the primary goal of treatment is to manage symptoms and prevent complications, rather than correcting the curvature of the spine. Additionally, adults may have other health conditions that need to be taken into account when planning treatment.
To diagnose scoliosis, a doctor will typically perform a physical examination and may order diagnostic tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans.
During the physical exam, the doctor will look for signs of curvature in the spine, such as uneven shoulders or hips. They may also ask the patient to bend forward to see if there is any visible curvature in the spine.
At Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, the treatment for Scoliosis is personalized, keeping in mind the patient’s age, the severity of the curve, and the potential for future progression. The treatment options range from non-surgical methods like observation and bracing to surgical procedures for more severe cases.
Non-surgical treatment is often the first line of defense, especially for mild to moderate cases of Scoliosis. This approach is typically preferred when:
Bracing can be uncomfortable and may need to be worn for several years, while physical therapy may not be effective for patients with severe curvature.
Bracing is often recommended for patients who are still growing and have a curvature of the spine between 25 and 40 degrees. The goal of bracing is to prevent the curvature from getting worse and to support the spine while it grows.
The benefits of bracing include reducing the need for surgery and improving the patient’s overall quality of life. However, braces can be uncomfortable, and patients may need to wear them for several years.
Apollo Hospital Chennai offers a range of specialized braces for scoliosis patients, including Boston braces, Charleston braces, and Milwaukee braces. These braces are custom-made to fit each patient’s unique needs and can help prevent the curvature from getting worse.
Physical therapy can be an effective treatment option for scoliosis patients, especially those with mild to moderate curvature.
The goal of physical therapy is to strengthen the muscles around the spine and improve posture. Physical therapy may include exercises such as stretching, strengthening, and aerobic conditioning.
The benefits of physical therapy include reducing pain and discomfort, improving flexibility and range of motion, and improving overall physical fitness. However, physical therapy may not be effective for patients with severe curvature.
