Non-Surgical Treatment Options
For patients with mild to moderate spinal deformities, non-surgical treatment options may be recommended. This can include the use of braces or specialized orthopedic devices to help control the progression of the condition and alleviate symptoms.
Braces are custom-fitted to the individual patient and are designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure to the spine, guiding it into a more natural alignment. Regular monitoring and adjustments are essential to ensure the brace remains effective over time.
Surgical Interventions
In cases where the spinal deformity is severe or has not responded well to non-surgical treatments, surgical options may be considered. These procedures aim to correct the alignment of the spine and prevent further progression of the condition.
Surgical treatments can involve spinal fusion, where vertebrae are fused together to create a more stable and aligned spine. In some cases, osteotomy (bone cutting) or vertebral body tethering may be performed to reshape and realign the spine.
