Scoliosis in Children Treatment

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most commonly develops during the growth spurt just before puberty. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers expert scoliosis in children treatment in Indore, from monitoring mild curves to bracing and surgical correction for more significant cases.

About Scoliosis in Children Treatment

Scoliosis causes the spine to curve sideways, often in an S or C shape, and can range from mild curves that require only monitoring to severe curves that affect posture, breathing, or self-esteem. Most cases are idiopathic, meaning no specific cause is identified, and tend to appear during periods of rapid growth. Regular monitoring during childhood and adolescence is important since scoliosis can progress quickly during growth spurts.

Symptoms of Scoliosis in Children Treatment

• Uneven shoulders or shoulder blades
• One hip appearing higher than the other
• A visible curve or asymmetry in the back
• Uneven waistline
• A rib hump visible when bending forward

Causes of Scoliosis in Children Treatment

• Idiopathic causes, most common in adolescents
• Congenital spinal abnormalities present at birth
• Neuromuscular conditions affecting spinal control
• Rapid growth spurts during puberty
• Genetic predisposition and family history

Diagnosis

• Physical examination including the forward bend test
• X-ray to measure the degree of spinal curvature
• MRI in select cases to rule out underlying causes
• Regular monitoring examinations during growth

Treatment Options

• Observation with regular monitoring for mild curves
• Bracing to prevent progression of moderate curves during growth
• Physiotherapy-based scoliosis-specific exercise programs
• Surgical correction for severe or rapidly progressing curves
• Ongoing follow-up through the completion of growth
