Scoliosis Surgery

Surgical procedures to correct abnormal spinal curvature and improve alignment.

What is Scoliosis Surgery?

Scoliosis surgery aims to straighten the spine and prevent further curvature progression using instruments like rods and screws. It is typically recommended for severe cases where bracing or other treatments are insufficient. The procedure often involves spinal fusion to stabilize the corrected spine.

Signs You May Benefit from Scoliosis Surgery

Severe spinal curvature over 40-50 degrees

Progressive worsening of the curve

Pain or discomfort from the curvature

Respiratory or cardiac issues due to deformity

What Causes It?

Common Causes

  • Idiopathic scoliosis
  • Congenital scoliosis

Contributing Factors

  • Neuromuscular conditions
  • Genetic factors
  • Spinal injuries

Should You See a Spine Surgeon?

If your spinal curvature is severe, progressing, or causing pain and functional issues despite non-surgical treatments, consult a specialist. Immediate evaluation is recommended if symptoms worsen or new problems arise, such as breathing difficulties or neurological symptoms, indicating potential complications requiring prompt attention.
