Scoliosis
Child-Friendly Care For Scoliosis
We Provide Advanced Treatment for Scoliosis in Children
As young bodies undergo transformation, it becomes paramount for parents, caregivers, and medical professionals to comprehend the complexities of scoliosis in children. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that typically develops during adolescence. It can be idiopathic or result from congenital abnormalities, neuromuscular conditions, or genetic predisposition. Left untreated, scoliosis can progress, leading to spinal deformity, pain, and respiratory problems. POBAR specializes in the early detection and comprehensive management of scoliosis in children, utilizing advanced imaging technology and innovative treatment approaches to achieve optimal spinal alignment and overall health.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Scoliosis may manifest with uneven shoulders, waist asymmetry, and visible spinal curvature on physical examination. Our specialists at POBAR perform a comprehensive evaluation, including the Adam’s forward bend test and imaging studies like X-rays, to assess the degree and pattern of spinal curvature.
Treatment Options:
- Observation for mild curves: Regular monitoring to track progression.
- Bracing for progressive curves during growth: Customized braces to prevent further curvature.
- Surgical correction for severe or progressive curves: Surgeons straighten the spine and stabilize it with fusion and instrumentation. POBAR refers you if scoliosis surgery is indicated.
Recovery Time And Treatment Aftercare
Recovery time for scoliosis treatment varies depending on the severity of the spinal curvature and the chosen treatment modality. For patients undergoing bracing or surgical correction, recovery can range from several weeks to months.
Treatment Aftercare:
- Wear the prescribed brace consistently: Bracing helps halt the progression of scoliosis by providing external support and maintaining spinal alignment during growth.
