What is Scoliosis Surgery
Treatments Scoliosis can affect anyone from a
baby to an adult, but it often appears in
children aged 10-14. The effects are mild in most
children, as the curve corrects itself with the
help of physiotherapy and bracing. But some of
the children may develop spine deformities that
continue to grow severe, as they grow making
bracing infeasible or ineffective. Surgical
Treatment for Scoliosis is the recommended option
as it straightens the curve significantly, stops
the curve from growing. Heres our consultant
Spinal Surgeon, Mr. Jwalant S Mehta discussing
the surgical procedure - Scoliosis Correction
Surgery for Adolescents and Adults.
