What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, causing it to curve sideways. The spine may appear S-shaped or C-shaped when viewed from the back. Scoliosis can vary in severity and may lead to spinal deformity, postural changes, and potential complications if left untreated.

Who Treats Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is typically treated by a team of healthcare professionals, including orthopedic surgeons, spine surgeons, physical therapists, and other specialists. The treatment approach depends on the severity and progression of scoliosis, the age of the patient, and other individual factors. The healthcare team works together to provide comprehensive care, including diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
Technology Used in Scoliosis Treatment:
Scoliosis treatment may involve the use of various technologies and techniques to achieve optimal outcomes. These may include:
Bracing: Scoliosis braces, such as thoracolumbosacral orthoses (TLSO) or Boston braces, are custom-made devices that help correct spinal curvature and prevent further progression of the condition. They are designed to be worn for a specific duration under the guidance of the healthcare team.
Minimally invasive surgery: In some cases, minimally invasive surgical techniques may be employed to correct severe spinal curvature. These techniques involve small incisions and specialized instruments to reduce tissue damage, pain, and recovery time.
Computer-assisted navigation systems: These systems use real-time imaging and computer guidance to assist surgeons in accurately placing implants and correcting spinal deformities during surgery.
