Spinal Deformities Treatment in Faisalabad

What is Spinal Deformities?
Spinal deformities refer to abnormal curves or misalignments of the spine, affecting its shape and structure. Common spinal deformities include scoliosis (sideways curvature), kyphosis (excessive forward curvature), and lordosis (exaggerated inward curvature). These conditions can occur at any age, leading to uneven posture, pain, and limitations in mobility. Severe deformities may impact lung and heart function, making early detection and treatment essential.

Causes
Spinal deformities can be congenital (present at birth) or develop over time due to genetic factors, neuromuscular conditions, or trauma. Other causes include poor posture, degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis, or age-related changes. In some cases, the exact cause remains unknown, as seen in idiopathic scoliosis.

Symptoms
Symptoms vary based on the type and severity of the deformity and may include uneven shoulders or hips, a visible hump on the back, and chronic back pain. Other symptoms include restricted range of motion, difficulty standing upright, and muscle weakness. Severe deformities can cause breathing difficulties, fatigue, and nerve compression.

Treatment
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the deformity and includes physical therapy, bracing, and pain management techniques. For more advanced cases, surgical options such as spinal fusion, vertebral body tethering, or osteotomy may be recommended to correct the alignment. Regular monitoring and early intervention are crucial to managing the progression of spinal deformities.
