Scoliosis is a spinal condition marked by an abnormal sideways curve, often appearing during adolescence but sometimes developing later in life due to degenerative changes. At Dr Atul Patil Orthopedic Surgeon in Kharghar, patients can access expert evaluation and tailored treatment to prevent progression and maintain spinal alignment.
Symptoms may include uneven shoulders, asymmetry in the waist, or persistent back pain. In severe cases, scoliosis can affect lung and heart function due to reduced space in the chest cavity. A spine specialist determines the degree of curvature through physical examination and imaging tests. Treatment options vary depending on severity ranging from observation and bracing in mild cases to surgical correction for advanced curvatures.
Ignoring scoliosis can lead to worsening spinal deformity and long-term complications. Early diagnosis ensures better outcomes and allows patients to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle.
