Scoliosis treatment in Mumbai by Dr. Vishal Kundnani, a renowned scoliosis surgeon, focuses on correcting the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, known as scoliosis. In a healthy spine, the vertical alignment appears straight when viewed from the front or back and displays a natural roundness in the upper back along with a gentle inward curve (swayback) in the lower back when seen from the side. However, in individuals with scoliosis, the spine curves laterally, forming a noticeable “S” or “C” shape when viewed from the front or back. As a leading scoliosis surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Vishal Kundnani specializes in advanced techniques for scoliosis surgery, delivering expert correction for complex spinal deformities. Patients seeking comprehensive evaluation and effective scoliosis surgery can rely on his expertise and commitment to restoring spinal alignment and function.
There are many types and causes of scoliosis, including :
Congenital scoliosis - Caused by a bone abnormality present at birth.
Neuromuscular scoliosis - A result of abnormal muscles or nerves. Frequently seen in people with spina bifida or cerebral palsy or in those with various conditions that are accompanied by, or result in, paralysis.
Degenerative scoliosis - This may result from traumatic (from an injury or illness) bone collapse, previous major back surgery, or osteoporosis (thinning of the bones).
Idiopathic scoliosis - The most common type of scoliosis, idiopathic scoliosis, has no specific identifiable cause. There are many theories, but none have been found to be conclusive. There is, however, strong evidence that idiopathic scoliosis is inherited.
Approximately 2% to 3% of Americans at age 16 are diagnosed with scoliosis. However, less than 0.1% have spinal curves measuring greater than 40 degrees — the threshold at which scoliosis surgery is typically considered. Girls are more likely to be affected than boys. Idiopathic scoliosis is most commonly observed during adolescence, particularly between the ages of 10 and 16. This condition often progresses during the "growth spurt" years but generally stabilizes in adulthood. When scoliosis progresses to a severe stage, consulting a highly experienced scoliosis surgeon becomes essential. For those in need of advanced treatment and surgical intervention, patients are advised to seek expert care from a leading scoliosis surgeon like Dr. Vishal Kundnani, renowned for his expertise in scoliosis surgery and spinal deformity correction.
Most scoliosis curves are initially detected on school screening exams, by a child's pediatrician or family doctor, or by a parent. Some clues that a child may have scoliosis include uneven shoulders, a prominent shoulder blade, uneven waist, or leaning to one side which may cause chronic back pain.
