Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, affecting posture, balance, and in some cases breathing or movement. Early evaluation helps manage the condition effectively and prevent progression with the right treatment approach.

Scoliosis can affect people of all ages, though it commonly develops during growth years. While mild scoliosis may cause no pain, moderate to severe curvature can lead to back discomfort, uneven shoulders or hips, fatigue, and posture-related issues. In advanced cases, it may affect lung function or spinal balance.
At Dr. Sushil Kumar Singh Orthopaedic Hospital, Patna, scoliosis treatment is based on detailed clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and curve severity assessment. Treatment focuses on monitoring, non-surgical management whenever possible, and surgical correction only when medically required. The goal is to maintain spinal balance, reduce symptoms, and support long-term spine health.
| Aspect | What It Means for the Patient |
|---|---|
| Early Detection | Helps prevent curve progression |
| Posture Correction | Improves body balance and alignment |
| Non-Surgical Focus | Observation, physiotherapy, bracing when suitable |
| Surgical Care (If Needed) | Corrects severe spinal curvature |
| Long-Term Monitoring | Ongoing spine health management |
In simple terms, scoliosis causes the spine to curve sideways instead of staying straight, which can affect posture and movement if not treated on time.
Scoliosis is a spinal deformity characterized by a sideways curve of the spine. It may be idiopathic (unknown cause), congenital, or related to neuromuscular conditions. Severity varies from mild curves needing observation to severe curves requiring surgical correction.

| Uneven Shoulders or Hips | One shoulder or hip appears higher |
| Visible Spine Curve | Sideways curve visible while standing |
| Back Pain or Fatigue | Discomfort after prolonged activity |
| Poor Posture | Leaning to one side |
